I am in the middle of Adobe Acrobat X Pro installation when I encountered a problem stating “Installer failed to initialize. File not found. And it says to download the Adobe Support Advisor for the problem detection.
My concern is what is the Adobe Support Advisor?
What is this program or whatever rules in my installation?
Is this free? Where can I download it?
