You received error 13042 when either one of 2 things:

1. when downloading something hiccuped and caused a bad zip file
2. when installing something went wrong and could not be installed....

solution is to delete the old zip file and download fresh from adobe.com
The link was ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win

unless you are really set on using adobe's reader i strongly suggest using another reader like FOXIT READER ---

Adobe is a bloated, slow resource hog.

Be sure to uninstall Adobe Reader first though.

Adobe Reader allows you to open PDF files. Download another PDF file such as: http://illiad.evms.edu/sample.pdf

If that opens, the problem is with the site.

Hello,
Well I think that you would have to completely uninstall the one you have, obtain a new adobe setup, restart your PC and install the new one. this should fix your problem, if not, then it is likely that you are having an OS problem which may be caused by a virus.

All the best.
