Step 1 - research at Adobe, and also email to them that their
    application needs to be Windows logo certified. You would
    not have this issue if it were.

Step 2 - go to sysinternals.com and get filemon and regmon tools
    and use these to find what accesses are not being allowed, and
    then modify permissions on them once they are identified.
