Like most Windows applications, Acrobat and Reader use Microsoft Windows Installer technology for installing updates. If the update fails, you can get one of the following Microsoft Installer errors. The list is not comprehensive. Adobe updates the list as it learns more solutions to common errors. If your error is not listed here, you can check Windows Installer Error Messages on the Microsoft site.
