You need to post an exact copy of the message which appears and say
whether it appears when you try to remove or update Acrobat Reader.

Do you want to remove or update Acrobat Reader> Foxit for many users is
a better alternative.

The message reads, "This patch package could not be opened. Verify that
the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the
application vendor to verify that this is a valid Window Installer
patch package"

I'm trying to update Acrobat Reader. When I couldn't I tried to remove
the program and it comes up with the above message.

I will look into Foxit.

Have you tried this?:

What version of Acrobat Reader do you have?

When you tried removal what method did you try?

Many users who only need a PDF reader have turned to Foxit as it is less
resource hungry. If you want to edit PD files, however, you need Adobe
but Foxit Reader (freeware) is a more satisfactory programme if your
requirements are limited to viewing and printing documents:
