Authorisations to run Adobe Reader under Windows 8

Question

Under windows 8 with adobe reader 11, I have not been able to launch the program. Each time the system says I don't have the authorisations required (even when I follow instructions to get additional authorisations which I seem unable to obtain despite using the normal sequence of "properties" , "security" " advanced  etc. and in this case I get the following message in the "target" slot"
The name "c:\program files\adobe\READER 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" is not valid. Verify that the routing (?) and the name of the file are correct
when I click on  the Security tag although the location of the programes of Adobe Reader 11 are in fact in the location detailed above. It would seem that windows 8 has a security system that I don't seem to be able to adjust. (I have used Acrobat under Vista and under XP without these problems) . At the moment and after three days of efforts I am still incapable of getting Reader 11 to run..

Answer 1

(a) After installation of Reader 11.0, the following text appears on the 
screen after either double clic on the screen icone or clic on c: directory 
(c:\programmes\adobe\Reader 11.0 :-
Title: Reader 11.0
Vous ne disposez pas des autorisations requises pour acceder à ce dossier 
(Translation (not on screen): You don't have the authorisations required to 
accede to this file)
(There are two tabs ("Continue" and "Cancel")
If one clics on "Continuer" the screen reads:
Reader 11.0
L'acces à ce dossier vous a été refusé. Pour acceder à ce dossier vous 
devez utiliser l'onglet de securité :
Translation: Acces to this file for you has been denied. To acces this 
file  you should use the "Security" tab.
One tab: "Fermer" (Close)
If one then does a right clic on the Reader 11.0 screen icone, and then 
clic on "properties" then clic on "Security", I get a listing of "groupes or 
users"  which for this computer gives the following : "System", "John 
Willis([email protected]"), "Administrateur (rulepar\Administrateur), 
"Administrateurs (rulepar\Administrateurs), "Interactif". Each of these has a  check
mark against "Controle Totale",
"Modification", "Lecture et execution", lecture", "Ecriture" and the three 
"rulepar" entries each have a check mark against "Autorisations  spéciales".
If one clics on the tab "Avancé" then
on the "Autorisations tab  'john willis ([email protected]_
(mailto:[email protected]) ), 'Administrateur  (rulepar\Administrateur), "INTERACTIF",
"Administrateurs  (rulepar\administrateurs), "Systeme"  all have "Controle Totale"
,  "Interactif" has "Lecture et Execution"  and "Administrateyr 
(rulepar\Administrateur) and "john willis ([email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) )
have "Special"
on the "Partage" (share?) tab there are two entries (Type = Autoriser" 
Principal for "Administrateurs (rulepar\Administrateurs) and "Tout le monde 
(everybody)
on the Audit tab there is nothing and on the Acces Effectif page there is 
"Select a user but nothing else.
The title of this page is c:\users\Public@Desktop\Adobe Reader XI. lnk 
under a page title "Parameters of advanced security for Adobe Reader XI
