Hi Richard,

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC software is the free global standard for reliably viewing, printing, and commenting on PDF documents. It's the only PDF viewer that can open and interact with all types of PDF content, including forms and multimedia.

As per the description, I understand that you are unable to install Adobe reader as it says, newer version already installed. We will assist you to resolve the issue.

To assist you better, I would like to know whether you have installed any version of Adobe reader in the past and have you installed any third party security applications on the computer?

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to place the computer in a Clean boot state and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. Follow the Microsoft KB article to perform clean boot on the computer:

How to perform a clean boot to troubleshoot a problem in Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

Applies to Windows 10

Disclaimer: After you have finished troubleshooting, follow these steps from section “How to reset the computer to start as usual after clean boot troubleshooting” to reset the computer to start as usual.

Hope the information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help.
