Hello!

I'm trying to install an Adobe Acrobat Reader, but installer says, that newer ver is installed already. But there no version at all. Are any ways to force the installation?

What was the "uninstallation process"?

Control Panel -> Uninstall software -> Adobe Acrobat Reader -> double click -> next -> next ->...

Ok, so a normal uninstall. What do you see in c:\program files (X86)\Adobe ?

[Relexey]

Folder is empty (View -> Show hidden files checked)

Should I delete the folder?

Solved the problem by deleting folders and registry subtrees named Acrobat 🙂
