How to prrevent uninstalling Reader DC while installing Acrobat DC

[VindhyaY]

Hi,

I dont want to remove Adobe Reader when installing Acrobat DC. I used the Adobe customization tool and unchecked "Remove all versions of reader" which set REMOVE_PREVIOUS_READER property to "No" but when i install Acrobat DC using setup.exe, it is removing reader. What am I missing? Is there anything else that I should be doing to prevent Reader from getting removed?

64-bit Acrobat and Reader are now the same thing; you can't have both.

would it work if i have a 32bit version of reader and Acrobat?

Can someone help me understand if 32-bit Acrobat DC and Reader can be installed together on a machine?
