Please look over the forum as many people have resolved their issues with a few tips. I resolved my issue by first removing everything and cleaning up remaining remnant files, then downloading the appropriate programs (flash/reader, etc.), then hunting down the folder where it was loaded (mine was in my temp file as the download manager didn't work), then clicking the exe. file to open and run. Also, my security software was causing conflict for me too (that included browser and virus). I ended up having several downloads sitting in files that I had to clean up because I wasn't sure if I was installing at first, so check that. Other things include clearing your cache, and registry (if you need help, visit Microsoft.com/answers forum....another responsive company) and making sure you do a clean install.
I realize this is an old thread but recently enocuntered similar issues when installing Acrobat reader on an older computer running Win 7. I downloaded the program version 9.3.3. and it worked fine - link here -reader-9-3-3
So in my testing, I realized that if Acrobat Reader is already open, I get an i/o exception because the process is already running. So I tried following this post: Detecting a Process is already running in windows using C# .net
Additionally, I have seen times where a program cannot detect or "work" with a process that is above it in permissions. Make sure that adobe reader is not running under Admin privileges, and if it is make sure your program is too.
If you pass the file path of the PDF file you have just created to Process.Start instead of trying to launch Acrobat Reader, Windows will open the PDF with the default application associated with the .pdf file extension. You will not even need to know what reader they have installed. If no reader is installed, Windows will prompt the user to choose an application to open it with. This is a better option that launching Acrobat Reader directly as it will open the PDF file with the user's preferred reader.
If you want full compatibility with all versions of PDF documents, then the only original PDF viewer is from the source and that is Adobe. Adobe PDF documents are universally used in business, education and personal exchanges and the documents themselves can contain very rich graphics and diagrams.Adobe Reader XI is the standard in PDF document viewing, yet it does lack in several areas. Firstly, Adobe Reader XI can be painfully slow at times and with the awesome amount of ability it packs into one program, I suppose it isn't too abnormal that it might at times slow down. Still, there are many different free PDF readers available and many are choosing not to use Adobe.The benefits of running Adobe PDF Reader XI are negligible compared to many of the other options, so if you must, install this program. Otherwise, take a look around for some faster programs like Foxit's free PDF reader.Features of Adobe Reader XI

*Adobe Acrobat is commercial software from Adobe that allows you to save your documents in PDF (portable document format). All documents filed in ECF must be in PDF format (with the exception of the case mailing matrix, which is required to be in txt format). Acrobat is available from commercial software retailers for approximately $200 - $300. Adobe also distributes a program called Acrobat Reader that allows you to view and print (but not create) PDF documents. The reader is available for free download from the Court's website at www.vawb.uscourts.gov and at www.adobe.com. There are many other PDF converter products available at lower costs at Internet sites such as www.docauto.com.
Here is a very nice and fast alternative to Acrobat Reader - FoxitReader for Linux FoxitSoftware PDF Reader web site. I am very glad that Foxit released a reader for Linux platform (I am using this software on Windows PCs and I am very satisfied of the performance).
If you like to highlight, underline and make comments in pdf files, then there are no real alternatives to the windows version of Adobe reader or the windows version of Foxit Reader. Best is to use Foxit Reader under wine (the linux version of Foxit reader is only a reader without these functions). Also, the Evince developers do not have time to implement these features into Evince.
Try djvu, it has several readers, it's very fast, there are several readers that are better to use than evince or foxitreader , and there's a pdf->djvu converter in the linux repositories (Idk what it's called in ubuntu but in my distribution the package is called pdf2djvu, just do sudo apt-cache search djvu).
