I encountered the installation issue with acrobat reader DC 2019.010.21098.
My laptop has the windows 8.1. I have uninstalled the acrobat reader DC on my laptop before I try to install the version 2019.010.21098.
But the installation is NOT finished successfully with the error "the new version already installed". Any ideas why?
Thanks!
Hi Anand,
I have fixed my windows login proble and also installed all available updates successfully.
The acrobat DC reader is working now.
BTW, my laptop doesn’t have 2013 Visual C++ and this doesn’t affect the acrobat DC reader.
So I think it is NOT necessany. You can close my case.
Thank you very much for the help!
Thanks,
Shude

Hi Anand,
Thank you for the response.
I have tried all options listed in the article in your email. The first two don’t run for me. I am able to do the steps on the 3rd one but I cannot install the Acrobat reader DC with the same error, either. Do you know why?
For the Visual C++ update, I have the 2015 one installed on my laptop but the 2013 and 2014 ones are NOT there.
So do I need to install them?
Thanks,
Shude
