Trouble downloading to install acrobat

[sbhor]

I had to delete the application as I was having many issues with it. When I tried to download again, the download begins but then I get a message that I have a newer version on my computer and the download stops. Now I cannot download it again. What can I do? I looked in my files but do not see any other version of Adobe.

How exactly did you delete the old version? Is this Acrobat or Acrobat Reader?

Followed your instructions but it continues to show the same error message again and the download stops

Hello, 

We are sorry to hear that the issue is still unresolved.  As you are getting the message, 'newer version is already installed' 

The error is shown due to a missing update for Universal C Runtime in Windows. Install the update using one of the following ways:

Solution 1

Download the update manually from Microsoft Download Center. 
Once the required update is installed, retry the Acrobat DC/Acrobat Reader DC installation.

Solution 2

Use Windows update to update the OS automatically.

Retry Acrobat DC/Acrobat Reader DC installation, once all the available Windows updates are installed.

Solution 3

• Download Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 from Microsoft Download Center.
• If you're on a 64-bit machine navigate to the folder C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ else navigate to C:\Windows\System32, on a 32-bit machine.

          Note: If C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder exists then you're on a 64-bit machine.

          Search for the file msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll, and rename both the files.

• Don't delete the files. If the Visual C++ redistributable (vcredist_x86.exe) package fails to install, you can rename the files back.
• Double click the downloaded Visual C++ redistributable (vcredist_x86.exe) package to install it. After the installation completes, check that msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll files are installed back. Once confirmed, you can delete the files that you renamed in step 3.

• Do not delete the latest installed msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll files.
• Install Acrobat DC/Acrobat Reader DC.
