If you're on a 64-bit machine navigate to the folder C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ else navigate to C:\Windows\System32, on a 32-bit machine.

Search for the file msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll, and rename both the files.
Don't delete the files. If the Visual C++ redistributable (vcredist_x86.exe) package fails to install, you can rename the files back. -
Double click the downloaded Visual C++ redistributable (vcredist_x86.exe)package to install it. After the installation completes, check that msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll files are installed back. Once confirmed, you can delete the files that you renamed in step 3.
Do not delete the latest installed msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll files. -
Install Acrobat/Acrobat Reader.
