I have just waded through all of those updates 1 at a time and if you un-install KB2917929 it will solve the problem. Believe it or not Microsoft call it a compatibility update!!!!

2014-06-10T15:15:03+00:00 I have the same problem , and errors, with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 that I have just tried to install on my computer recently upgraded to Win 8.1 with latest service packs. As prevoiously reported, one cannot individually delete KB2917929.
That was on the standard User Profile supposedly with Admininstration rights
HOWEVER, I just enabled the "Administrator" Profile (which has elevated Administration rights) and installed Adobe Acrobat Professional 7. It opened with out any errors.
Logging out and logging into my own profile, I tried to start Adobe Acrobat 7, but just as before failed with error 0xc00000fd.
Does this mean that one might be able to tweak the Permissions of Folders and Files in the Acrobat installation directory such that it might run ?
Can someone explain what additional rights the Administrator Profile has, that are missing on a Profile with Administration rights ?
I have noticed one difference that may be significant. On the security settings for Acrobat files the "permissions for Administrators" section has everything ticked except for "special permissions". Whereas at least under some circumstances, the "permissions for Administrator ("The" Adminstrator) had ONLY "special permissions" ticked.
I am no computer expert, so hoping for advice as to how to solve this problem.
Thanks

I have been having the same problem. Just purchased my laptop last week with windows 8 and then upgraded to 8.1 when my acrobat pro 7 stopped with the same error. However, searched for the update as listed above, and I do not have such an update. . What do I do?
