Acrobat Pro XI via Creative Cloud installs twice on Win 8.1 Desktop

I am running Windows 8.1, 64-bit Pro on a HP Pavilion a6700y PC using Adobe create clouds. When I install Acrobat Pro XI, it installs twice. A version is Adobe Acrobat XI Version 11.0 with a size of 1.8 MB and the other is the Version 11.0.00 with the size of 2.0 MB.

Anyone know why this happens. Nothing seems to differentiate between the two, and if I uninstall one, two uninstall. I did uninstall, clean the registry and tried to reinstall the program, and same two versions of display. I do not get an indication that one is 64-bit and the other 32 bit, so I can not differentiated the.

Any suggestions?

This is because Acrobat MSI one entry in the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel, then the MSI creative cloud made a separate but similar entry in the Add/Remove Control Panel.  It is documented in a few places, but this is the most convenient to prove it.  It is in the process of uninstalling:

Uninstalling Acrobat Windows

Once you have deployed Acrobat using the package in the case of Exceptions, you can uninstall it by using the usual procedure to uninstall msi packages. There are two MSI packages that are needed for uninstall a standalone package.  For the main MSI package than the packer of creative cloud creates what is for licenses and the second MSI package which is the MSI Pro Acrobat package that in the Exceptions folder.

Here is the syntax of a command line to uninstall Acrobat:

Syntax example:

MsiExec.exe /x /qn
