Unable to uninstall the CC versions on my PC
I installed the latest CC (2014) versions of Adobe apps both on my Mac and my PC. To my surprise, I found that the CC versions are still in my C drive, taking up lots of valuable disk space.
Worse, I cannot uninstall them! The CC versions do not show up in the "Control Panel > Uninstall a program" lists.
Running Windows 7 Pro 64 bits on my PC.
This issue did not occur on Mac OS.

Dear Rajshree,
This information has already been provided in my post.
It is not possible to uninstall the CC items simply because they don't show up in the "Uninstall a program" lists.
Let me give you an example about Photoshop. The same applies to all CC apps.
I have now installed in my system:
Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 (1.27 Gigabytes)
But there are also the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Ps CC:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (974 Megabytes)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit) (1.01 Gigabytes)
Again: It is impossible to uninstall the above two versions.
You need to provide an uninstaller for all CC apps!

after downloading new version of Firefox 4 I am unable to use touch pad for scrolling. I have tried installing and uninstalling the new version but this problem has always been occuring. I do not know how to fix this problem so I always return to the old version.
If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

My nightly version 8.0a1 (x64 en-US) stopped working when I did a system restore. I downloaded a second version 10.0a1 (X86 en-US). The last version works perfectly. Now I attempted to uninstall the first version via control panel but, to no avail. For unknown reason(s), it doesn't uninstall. Operative system: Windows 7 x64

I think you will find that
HKCR = HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKLM = HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE

I don't know which version of Ccleaner you are use to but I thought that the uninstall tools there just ran the actual application uninstaller and therefore should do exactly the same thing as running it through the control panel. The one advantage of Ccleaner is that it will also function as the windows installer cleanup tool to remove broken links - advanced users only. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Unable to install the latest version of Adobe Muse via Adobe Application Manager
I´m a user of Creative Suite applications and all of them have been updated successfully with the exception of the latest version of Adobe Muse.
I´m unable to install it. I get error DW 050
I´m using Windows 7 64 bit.
All previous versions of Adobe Muse have been installed OK.
Following a forum discussion I could read, I uninstalled the previous version, but the installation fails again.
Does any body know how to solve this issue?Dear Sachin:
Thank you for your help, however I have to get back to you to inform that after downloading the new package based on the link that you´ve provided, I´m still unable to execute the application. I get the message: “block by the administrator” and also another message: “the editor of this program is unknown and unsafe”. Please note that all other programs from Adobe´s Creative Cloud have been downloaded and installed with success. All Adobe Creative programs have been installed on my computer several months ago and all are working fine so far. This morning I installed an update for Photoshop without any problem. It seems that the problem persists only with Muse. I have to highlight that I´m the administrator of my PC and therefore all applications are currently being executed as administrator. I have never had the intention to block any program, including obviously Adobe´s Creative Suite programs.
Could you please let me know how to splve this problem?
Michael.

I attempted to use the control panel and uninstall but it provides me with the same error all the time. I NEED SOME Answers on this issue. Can you please help?!
Perhaps try the fixit from the following Microsoft web page. (Try the "problems uninstalling" option.)

I have two versions of Lightroom installed on my computer, can I uninstall the older version?
While looking at the "Programs and Features" folder on my Windows 7 computer I discovered that I have two versions of Adobe Lightroom installed on my system. One is Lightroom 5.2, installed on 9/19/2013, and the other is Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.5 64-bit, installed on 7/5/2014
- Can I uninstall the older version?
- Will uninstalling the older version cause any problems with the newer version?
- If yes to either question, is there anything I need to do before doing the uninstall (i.e. deactivating, etc.)
Any advice on how to correct this problem is gratefully appreciated.
PS; I have the same issue with Muse CC. See: I have two versions of Muse CC installed on my computer, can I uninstall the older version?Jim,
I thought it was odd that I had two versions of Lightroom installed as well. I have been able to track the issue back to an apparent "bug" in the Lightroom 5.2 update that installed a second version of Lightroom in addition to updating the existing version on my computers. At the time, I posted about it at Lightroom 5 installed twice on my laptop. While I never got an answer to my question, which was "Is this normal?" I did hear from others in the forum the experienced the same problem and had the same question. As time passed, later releases updated one of the two installations, but did not effect the second. Hence, two different versions of Lightroom 5 installed on the same computer.
Uninstalling the older version solved the problem. Thanks -
Please help with this problem. When trying to install itunes on my HP520 PC, I get the error message (unable to remove the older version of Bonjour as well as the message unable to remove the older version of Apple software update).
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Updateentries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does it go through properly this time? -
I was recently prompted to update my Itunes player to the latest version. I'm using Windows Vista. I was left with an error message MSVCR80.dll and consequently no new update. I uninstalled the old version and have tried to reinstall manually several times. No luck. Consequently I have no player.
Any ideas for a fix?Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I went to my add-ons tab, and I DO, in fact, have two versions of shockwave flash, an 11.9...version, and a 13.9..., which, if I'm not mistaken, is the latest version. There is a "ask to activate, always activate, never activate" button for EVERY add-on. I clicked never activate on the older version, and closed the tab. I then tried to play a video off of the Web. It would not play, I tried another site with the same result, so I went back to my add-on tab, and the button for the older version had changed back to "always activate" by itself. It continues to repeat this, and WILL NOT stay on "never activate". Every few times I return to the add-ons page, THE NEW VERSION IS DISABLED, AS WELL AS THE OLD ONE. I've tried to uninstall the old version, but when I go through control panel, and bring up the folder contents, the old version isn't even there! I've done start, find, and typed in "Adobe", and the old version is NOT FOUND! Both versions keep changing back and forth on the activate button, and they both will disable on their own, no matter how many times I fix it! smh!!
@jscher2000: Didn't mean to lose contact. I still don't have my playback problem solved, if you can believe that. I've downloaded the uninstaller / installer links with someones help that's on this forum, used them in the exact same order. It did nothing to help. However, I was in the process of attempting your solution. I made sure all browsers were closed; in fact, I went offline before this procedure. When I used find, and typed in Shockwave, it came back..."no search results". I recalled a path I had previously used, and had to use it instead of find, C:/ Acer/ Windows/SysWOW64/ Macromed/ and here there were files for Shockwave AND Flash. I opened Shockwave, says " this folder is empty". Flash Player and Flash Util plugin, Util32 Active X, NPSWF32_13_0_0_214.dll...all files appear correct, BUT why aren't there ANY files in the Shockwave folder? NONE of the buttons you describe in your steps to let Firefox "clean up" the pluginreg.dat file show in my window...if I am in the right window. My username is at the top, and it's drop-down is "3 button"+sign out. One says settings, but it doesn't take me to any "help", Trobleshooting info, "show folder", nor any way to exit Firefox or to start it back up. Settings goes to "edit settings", and has a list of checkboxes...all with something to do with threads in one aspect or another, and one concerning private messages. Sounds to me like I don't know what I'm doing, am on entirely the wrong Mozilla /Firefox page, and I'm NEVER, EVER going to get this damn video playback crap fixed once and for all. Some sites will let a video play, but they are rare. Vikings.com is the one that has me red-faced. NOTHING plays there. Except ads, of course. You can't get those to STOP.

Anyone have advice on how to install the recent Itunes update on a 64 bit Windows 7 PC? I've downloaded the update, uninstalled the prior version, but no luck. Thanks.
I'm guessing - if you've uninstalled the previous version, then surely there's nothing left to "update", is there?
Can you undo the "uninstallation" procedure? If not, you will have to download iTunes again and install it as a new installation. -
Wanted to save space on C: drive and installed Firefox 4.0 on the F: drive. The new install did not delete the files of the older Firefox version in the C: drive. Is the 4.0 version in F: drive using any of the files left on the C: drive? Can I delete or uninstall the old version with out losing bookmarks or other vital information? I want to get the space back for the C: drive but don't want a big headache. When comparing file trees from the new install and the old, there were allot more files in the old and it made me afraid to delete or uninstall the old version.
The version on the C drive can be deleted, it will not be used. The bookmarks, along with other user data, is stored in the profile folder which is in a different location than the application - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
There are more files in the old version, many of the files in the new version are placed inside omni.jar which is a compressed file. -
