Try downloading the full installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/ or http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

The following article while old fixed the issue for me. Registry editing is required so please backup your registry before making any changes.

A reboot was required before reinstall of Reader succeeded.

Didn't work for me. The Troubleshooter didn't find any problems. But the Correct Answer was 12 years ago!
