I accidentally deleted part of Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Now, I can't read PDF documents. I tried to install Reader 9 but I kept getting a message box that says, "The feature you are using is on a network resource that is unavailable." It also gives me the option to try again or change the directory, neither of which solves the problem.

I then went to the Control Panel and tried to have the Add or Remove Programs application remove Reader 8.1.2 but the exact same window came up. It supposedly has something to do with the fact that there is no installation path for Reader 8.1.2. How do I get rid of Reader 8.1.2 and then subsequently install reader 9?
