Accidently deleted Adobe Reader - Problems reinstalling

I accidently deleted Adobe Reader.  I then downloaded Adobe Reader X (10.0.1).  I thought it worked, but it does not show up in ALL PROGRAMS.  I started over, and downloaded again.  Adobe Download Manager returns the message "Error: Application already installed."  I went to Add or Remove Programs, found Adobe Reader X (10.0.1), clicked Remove, and got the message "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable."
I have WIndows XP Pro Version 2002, SP3
What to do?

Remove the corrupted installation with the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459), then try the installation again.

    My computer is infected with Adware.  I deleted Adobe Reader thinking it might have the adware in it.  Since the problem started the same day as Adobe Reader was installed.  Reader wasn't the problem.  So how do I get Reader reinstalled?
    And if anyone knows how to delete WebProtect ads, please let me know.  It's actually getting worse.

    Hi frostedinsilver,
    I'm sorry to hear that. What a hassle.
    You can download Reader from www.adobe.com/products/reader.html.

  • I've deleted Adobe Reader 11 and rebooted and reinstalled Adobe Reader 11 and I still get the error message that 'Adobe Reader is blocked because it is out of date'. Using Windows XP with the latest updates (SP3).

    Screenshots attached to email replies will not make it back to the forum; you need to login to the forum and post it in your topic using the camera icon in the editor.
    Google Chrome is a problem:
    if you use Chrome's own PDF viewer, the results are unpredictable.
    if you use the Adobe Reader plugin with Chrome, it may reject (block) it if it is not the latest version.  Reader 11.0.08 is the latest version for Windows XP, but Chrome may insist on the current version 11.0.10.
    My suggestion; use a different browser!

  • Accidently deleted Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 from WindowsXP

    I accidently deleted Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 from my WindowsXP at work. The thing is, there are still Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 icons. The icons look like a piece of paper with symbols on them. When attempt to open, it cant open it. I tried a system recovery and was not successful. After a day or researching, I still haven't found a solution. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it! Thx

    The obvious answer is to reinstall Acrobat, but I imagine you have ruled that out for some reason. Can you say why?
    Also, this is the InDesign forum. If you have questions specific to a program, you will get better help in that program's forum.

  • Can I delete Adobe Reader after purchasing Adobe Acrobat?

    Hey all....
    I just purchased a Fujitsu ScanSnap that came with Adobe Acrobat.  With that, I though I would be able to delete Adobe reader off of my computer thinking that Acrobat would now take over for all .PDF's I wanted to look at, but for some reason I'm getting an error and I had to reinstall Adobe Reader- Even now when I open a .PDF- it opens with reader- if I want to open with Acrobat, I have to open Acrobat and then open the file from the menu bar.  Any help on how to get rid of reder would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    From what I understand, you uninstalled Reader. However, Acrobat had already been installed. When you uninstalled Reader, you broke Acrobat and would need to do a repair. They share some files and the Acrobat uninstall is not good about checking those files. That is why things started working again when you reinstalled Reader, effectively fixing Acrobat. As graffiti said, having both is not recommended. I would suggest you uninstall Reader again and then repair Acrobat. You can also uninstall both and reinstall Acrobat. Be careful about the uninstalls on Acrobat so that you also do the proper deactivation, not reducing your number of permitted installed.

  • I just installed Acrobat. Can I delete Adobe Reader?

    I just installed Acrobat Standard. Can I delete Adobe Reader?

    I would actually go further than what ~graffiti says and make a backup of my system first.  The last time I did this (except I uninstalled Acrobat not Reader) it stuffed up my PC properly.  There was no problem while I had both installed, it was the uninstall.  Alternatively, make Acrobat open everything by default and just ignore your installation of Reader.
    I'd be open to correction on this but it shouldn't be using up any more system resources having both than having one because they share the same background processes.

  • Cannot Delete Adobe Reader 9 Installer after failed download

    I tried to download Adobe Reader 9 and the installation froze around 83%.  After multiple attempts I tried downloading an older version (Adobe 8) and it worked but the installation folder for Adobe 9 is still on my desktop and it will not let me delete it. I have already tried using the Windows Install cleanup tool but it did not work. Any other ideas on how I can get rid of this installation program?

    Thanks.. I managed to find a way to make it work.. I had no Adobe Reader in my list of programs when I went to Start | Control Panel | Add/Remove..  I took a  chance and deleted Acrobat.com.. that allowed me to reload the latest v of Reader.  I hope it didn't mess anything else up.

    I had same situation. Was able to delete by the following: (don't know why)
    In Windows Explorer dragged the Adobe AIR folder from Desktop to another folder (which
    removed it from the desk top display). Then just deleted it from the other folder.
    Hope it works for you.

  • Delete adobe reader

    Deleted Adobe Reader but stil some files in Application Support in Library for Adobe with a file called Acrobat - how can I ensure everything to do with Adobe Reader has been deleted.

    You will need to use a tool such as DDPD installer or the Chrome browser extension to find the module and delete it.
    However, I won't guarantee positive results if other applications are directed to hand off PDF documents direct to Adobe Reader as the default app, and it's not there.
