You need to download Adobe Reader from HERE

Others recommend using Foxit if you have a Firefox browser, but I've never used it.

That's a problem with your PC and Windows Installer.

Did you accept Adobe DLM at the tope of the screen when you started the download?

You will need to completely uninstall all traces of Adobe Reader, then download a fresh copy and install again.

Plenty of programs which will open your PDF document, all free.

(oh, and did somebody mention Adobe, yes you certainly want to remove every trace of that...).

Foxit has its share of security holes as well. There is a massive one in it at the moment allowing malformed .pdf files to run executable code on a local machine.

If you use Foxit and have not updated it in the last few days best do so :-)

Seek out: security.htm on their website for a list of current issues/fixes with it.

You can add a plugin in firefox and read via web.
