Reverted from Windows 10 back to 7; can't uninstall/reinstall Acrobat Reader DC

[michelleg99305310]

An ill-advised update to Windows 10 included an upgrade for Acrobat Reader.  After 3 weeks of issues, I've reverted to Windows 7.  Now I have NO working Acrobat Reader. I tried uninstalling Adobe Reader XI (11.0.14), but am unable to.  I keep getting this message: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.  Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'AcroRead.msi' in the box below."  This file is no longer on my computer (I've searched everywhere), but I'm stuck. Cannot uninstall.  Cannot re-install without uninstalling the upgraded version.  Please help before I loose my mind.

Hi michelleg99305310,

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Please run this cleaner tool : Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

Restart the system and install reader XI from this link : Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Install for all versions

Also would like to inform you that Reader DC is the latest reader version . If you wish to install the latest version you can install it from the above link .

Let us know if this helps.

Regards

Sarojini

Thank you for this, Sarojini.Nagar  I ran the cleaner and then tried to install.  I used the links you gave me.  I got the same error message.  Again.  I tried cleaning again.  I tried installing again.  Same message.  I'm about to go find another comparable program.  I've spent far too many hours on this today.  Unless you have another suggestion...

I'm not certain why, but the fourth time I cleaned and installed, this worked.  Persistence, I guess.  Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
