I just set up a brand new PC for an employee and I'm trying to install Adobe Reader. However, I keep getting an error that says "Newer version already installed." This is strange because it's a fresh setup and there haven't been any Adobe products on it before. I even ran the Adobe cleanup tool and CCleaner, but nothing worked. Has anyone else faced this issue on a new system?

Check this guide for resolving the error: [Fix: Error 1722 Newer version already installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC installation issue](https://thegeekpage.com/fix-error-1722-newer-version-already-installed-adobe-acrobat-reader-dc-installation-issue/).

You might want to try running MyUninstaller from NirSoft. Sometimes remnants of previous installations can hide in the registry, and this tool can help you dig them out.
Just a heads up, while most browsers can open PDFs, some features like digital signatures might need Adobe Reader specifically. So, if you need those features, don't skip the reader installation!
Yeah, I totally agree! It’s not just about opening PDFs; certain tasks require Adobe Reader's functionality. Best to get it installed instead of relying solely on the browser.
