Error applying transforms Verify that the specified transforms paths are valid when you try to repair update or uninstall (Acrobat or Adobe Reader)

When I try to install it it says theres already an old version on but there isn't Im so confused

Answer 1

Add/remove programs

Answer 2

Go to your Add/Remove programs in Control panel and see if there is already an older version installed. Get rid of it, and then try installing Adobe Reader 8 again.

Alternatively, you can try Foxit Reader instead -- it starts up much faster than Adobe Reader:
