Help Reader Install failing

I had Creative Cloud and uninstalled it due to no longer having a license.

I try and try to install the free Acrobat Reader from various links on Adobe's website. The MSI file tries to load IE and goes into this endless loop that is very hard to get out of. I try different links from the Adobe site only to get 404 errors from Adobe's own site.

Right now I am running Reader 9 (9.3.4) and it is terrible. Doesn't have multi-tabs, looks like windows 95.

I am running latest Windows 10, Chrome Version 106.0.5249.119 (Official Build) (64-bit).

PLEASE HELP.

I rely on PDF reading a lot.

Install it from get.adobe.com/reader

that is where I am installing it from. I download the exe, run it and it launches a window (Adobe Download Manager) then a Windows dialog box appears stating "Do you want to allow this website to open a program on your computer" Program:  Internet Explorer.  If I state allow, an endless loop starts up which I have to kill in Task Manager. Finally a web page appears from Adobe stating This Program can no longer run in Internet Explorer due to End of Life.
