Category of the issue

Installation issue.

Brief description of your issue

Adobe Acrobat Reader 64-bit installed via winget with machine scope works for administrators but fails to launch for non-admin users with errors "Attempt to call a method that has not been implemented" and "Raise without Handler!" I originally posted the issue here (with screenshots):
https://superuser.com/questions/1895632/

This link above reveals that the issue is only a recent problem. Prior to version 25.001.20474 (of Adobe.Acrobat.Reader.64-bit), machine scoped installs worked for all users.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Adobe Acrobat Reader with:
   winget install --id Adobe.Acrobat.Reader.64-bit --scope machine --source winget
2. Log in as administrator - application works correctly
3. Log in as non-administrator user
4. Launch Adobe Acrobat Reader
5. Observe error dialogs: "Attempt to call a method that has not been implemented" followed by "Raise without Handler!"

Actual behavior

The installation works correctly for administrator accounts but fails for non-admin users with two specific error messages:

1. "Attempt to call a method that has not been implemented" appears first
2. Upon clicking OK, a second error "Raise without Handler!" appears

This makes the application completely unusable for non-administrator users despite being installed with machine scope.

Expected behavior

When installing Adobe Acrobat Reader 64-bit with --scope machine parameter, the application should be properly installed for all users on the system, both administrators and standard users.

I've tried the following troubleshooting steps:

• Uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Reader completely through Windows Settings
• Deleted all Adobe AppData folders for a clean installation
• Reinstalled with the same winget command
• Rebooted the system

The issue occurs after machine-wide installations via the --scope machine argument.

Start by reproducing the failure with winget install --id Adobe.Acrobat.Reader.64-bit --scope machine --source winget, then compare launches under administrator and standard accounts on the reported Windows environment. Trace the Adobe.Acrobat.Reader.64-bit package and its machine-scope installation behavior; the issue is done when standard users can launch the installed application without either reported error.
