I'm getting the following error in Admin events:
 
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Designer 8.2\FormDesigner.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "" on line . A component version required by the application conflicts with another component version already active. Conflicting components are:. Component 1: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.7600.16385_none_fa645303170382f6.manifest. Component 2: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\x86_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.7600.16385_none_421189da2b7fabfc.manifest.
 
And I do not have designer 8.2 installed.
 
Any solutions, please

I see you're on a 64-bit system - although Acrobat 9 installs and runs OK on x64 Windows, that error event is commonly seen, is a known bug, and can be ignored. It's a clash over the version of components that we load from the common libraries built into Windows.
