Error Code 1601 during the installation of Adobe Acrobat Reader

I use Vista Home Premium and trying to update Adobe Acrobat Reader, I get error 1601, cannot access the windows installer.

Hi Annsew65,

I suggest you unregister and re-register the windows service installed on your computer and check if it helps you fix Windows install error problem and if you can install updates for Adobe Acrobat Reader.

A. click on the Start menu, click on run.
(B) in the Open box, type msiexec /unreg and then press ENTER.
(C) in the Start menu, click run.
(D) in the Open box, type msiexec/regserver, and then press ENTER.

Restart the computer and try to install the updates to check if the process worked.

I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

Thank you and best regards,
