I have Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.0 that I have installed on my Windows 7 computer. I cannot get the updates that are offered to me whenever it happens on my pc and get an error code 1602 whenever Adobe is trying to install the latest update on my pc. No matter how many times it tries to do the update, this message appears atleast per day which is quite annoying as well. Can anyone tell me how do I solve this problem? Thanks
Download the Microsoft Clean Up Utility by searching it on the internet. After you have download and installed it in your pc, you need to go to "Start" --> "Programs" and click on "Windows Install Clean Up" to launch the program. In the list that appears, you have to choose “Adobe Reader” (note: nothing else), and then you have to click on the "Remove" button and then "Exit "and restart your PC. This will remove the Adobe application and now you can again install it properly with all the updates in your pc.
When you choose Help > Check For Updates in Acrobat or Reader, the Ready To Install dialog box appears. However, when you click Install, the error Error 1602 appears.
Solution
Delete the ARM folder under the appropriate directory hierarchy.
