Hi Roberts,

As mentioned above, that you have removed the Adobe Reader application. So there could be a possibility that application didn't uninstall correctly.

This message appears when there are old traces of the application left and needed to be removed.

You may run the cleaner tool first- Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

And then download the Adobe Reader through- Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions

Let us know if the solution provided above doesn't work.

Regards,

Akanchha

mervet,Can you clarify "but this time I get a warning saying that, the software cannot be run"?Which software? Did you install Adobe Reader and can't run it or Installer itself cannot run?Maybe you need to install appropriate update from https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows Looks like you have a problem with Windows System itself. Try to check for updates for Windows manually and install all missing updates.
