I recently removed a hard drive, not realizing it was the one Acrobat was installed on. When trying to reinstall, the installer keeps trying to access the drive Acrobat used to be on, and gives me an error message saying the drive doesn't exist. I'm not sure why it keeps doing this, since I'm trying to install to my C: drive and not the old drive. Attempting to uninstall the old copy doesn't work because the drive doesn't exist anymore for it to be uninstalled from, and reinstalling keeps giving me an error message because it thinks there's already a version on a drive that doesn't exist.

Is there a version of the installer that won't look for an old version, or some other way to get around this problem?
