Installation error 150201 after uninstalling on Windows 10.

Apparently I have made a grave mistake, because I uninstalled Acrobat Reader DC in the process of trying to diagnose an issue, and now I cannot reinstall it again. Every time I try to install, I get the error code 150201.

 

I have tried many things, including restarting my computer, updating Windows 10, updating my graphics drivers, the AcroCleaner tool, and also the off-line installer. After all of them, the installation fails with the same error 150201. I assume there has to be a solution, but I'm not going to reinstall Windows in order to address this issue.

 

How can I find out what the real issue is and how to solve it? Thank you in advance.

I was able to resolve this. It turned out that the installer was failing to extract the setup files from the installer.bin package during the installation process. I have no idea why that was happening, and the installer.bin file and the temporary folder it was in get deleted after the installer fails and is exited. However, if you navigate to the directory where that file temporarily lives before clicking okay on the error message, it's possible to make a copy or directly extract the setup file

I was able to find the log file, and it does give a little bit more information, but I don't know what this particular error means. It's already verified that there's plenty of memory for the extraction and installation, and I have plenty of RAM on my system so I don't know what this memory error could be.

Looking at the log file, I initially thought the installer.bin might not be getting extracted to the temp directory because of a permissions issue, because the subfolder was no longer present after the installer exited. However, I watched it carefully and it is actually copying that file, so I'm completely at a loss.

Once I was able to extract the setup files, I could simply double-click on setup.exe and complete the installation that way. Definitely a convoluted process, but thankfully it worked!

This actually solved the issue for me, a really weird interaction...
For anyone wondering where the temp files are, they're in 

C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Temp

 you'll find a folder in there go inside then you'll find the installer.bin the original comment is talking about, extract that with 7zip or any software you like
