When my Adobe Acrobat Reader tries to update, the error message 1721 keeps coming up.  The windows installer is in "manual" mode.  What can I do to fix this problem?

    I would suggest you to try the below methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    Make sure that the dependency services for Windows Installer should be started and set to automatic. Then try to start the Windows Installer service and check.

    1. Press Windows key + R, type services.msc, press enter and then click Services.
    2. Double-click on the Windows Installer service.
    3. In the Windows Installer properties window, click on dependency tab.
    4. You will see the dependency services listed there. (Remote Procedure Call and DCOM Server Process Launcher)
    5. Both the above services should be ‘Started’ and set to’ Automatic’.

    Method 2: Check in compatibility mode.

    I would suggest you to install the software in compatibility mode and check.
