IMPORTANT !
Windows built-in antivirus may detect the Adobe cabinet file (compressed archive Data1.CAB/Data2.CAB) as being a potential threat and delete the file.
This is a false detection, and to avoid this happening it is recommended that you temporarily disable Windows Antivirus. This can be done easily:
Using the Windows Security app .......
Open the Start menu
Search for Windows Security
Select Virus & threat protection
Select Manage settings
Under Real-time protection, toggle the switch to Off
(Restarting your computer will re-enable Windows Antivirus)
ALSO:
Most Adobe software relies on a library file AMTLIB.DLL which is an integral
part of their software, and subject to the attention of hackers. Due
to this, some AV programs with identify this file as a potential threat and
it may be deleted or quaratined by the AV engine. You may see a dialog
box appear stating 'an error has been detected with a required application
library' which indicates the file has been removed. To recitfy this
issue, which is commonplace, you can add the file AMTLIB.DLL as an
exception to scans and threats list in your AV program. You can then
repair the installation, either through Control Panel - Programs and
Features, or in the help menu of Acrobat.
NEXT:
Unzip/extract files to a folder before running setup.
(Right-click on the downloaded file and select 'Extract Files' and follow the prompts.
The extracted installer files with be shown after extraction.)
THERE SHOULD BE 10 ITEMS WITHIN THE EXTRACTED FOLDER
IF THERE IS NOT, AND THE DATA1.CAB FILE IS MISSING, YOUR ANTIVIRUS IS NOT DISABLED !!
INSTALLATION CANNOT PROCEED WITHOUT THIS FILE - DISABLE THE ANTIVIRUS AND RE-EXTRACT THE FILES TO THE FOLDER
