Why cannot uninstall AIR

I was testing my air app, I install and uninstall AIR several times in XP sp3. After that I cannot uninstall or install AIR any more. When I click the 'Remove' button in "Add or Remove Programs" window, a Error message show:
All the air applications cannot run too, show the same window(except the icon and name.)
I reinstall my system, and did the same thing(install and uninstall AIR serval times), the Error show again.
Does anyone know how to recover from this, I don't want to reinstall my system any more.
Very Very sorry for my poor English!

Hello.
I, too, have a problem with uninstalling AIR showing similar errors.
I had Adobe AIR installed for Balsamiq Mockups and for League of Legends, a game that uses it in its menues apparently. After the latest patch of League of Legends I tried to run the game but my PC froze and I had to do a cold shutdown. Afterwards the game was not working anymore, upon launching it I got a typical Windows Error (blablabla has encountered a problem blah).
AppName: lolclient.exe     AppVer: 1.5.0.7220     ModName: adobe air.dll
ModVer: 1.5.3.9130     Offset: 000cf515
I wanted to uninstall Adobe AIR and reinstalling it anew, but trying to unistall it in the Software Menu brings up another Error of that kind. So much for deinstalling...
I downloaded Adobe AIR setup again and tried it per -uninstall from the command window but it produces the same error. All of these errors are pointing to the same ModName: adobe air.dll.
I would absolutely dislike to set up my Computer from scratch because of this, so could anyone tell me if there is a way to get rid of Adobe AIR manually so I can at least try to reinstall/overwrite?
All happened on Windows XP Sp3.
Thanks a lot for any help.

  • I cannot uninstall AIR on windows8.

    I cannot uninstall Air on Windows8 - the process hangs - zero cpu etc. A restart doesn't help. How do I do a clean uninstall and reinstall?

    Thank you so much for posting this. I had the exact same experience while trying to install the newly released (NY) Times Reader 2.0. That installer said that AIR wasn't there. Reinstalling AIR told me it was there. The Adobe Help site said use the uninstaller in the Utilities Folder. It wasn't there. I must have spent two hours trying everything until I happened on your post. Your suggestion worked. AIR reinstalled and so did Times Reader 2.0. Thank you for taking your valuable time to post and help others like myself.

  • Cannot uninstall AIR on Mac OSX

    First, using 10.5.6
    I cannot uninstall AIR from my system. I have tried everything. Here is what I have tried.
    - Using uninstaller: It is missing from /Applications/Utilities
    - Forcing uninstall in terminal: It runs an uninstall and then says it has failed and to check log.
    - Deleting framework: The framework is NOT in /Library/Frameworks
    - Installing AIR: The installer won't run because it says that the current version is installed on my system.
    Any suggestions? I can't install OR uninstall AIR!!!

  • Cannot uninstall AIR

    Hi Guys,
    I'm getting the error trying to install Muse CC on Windows.
    Using Adobe Cleaner Tool, as in other posts people recommend, doesn't help as Muse doesn't appear on the list of applications to remove (as it fails to install in the first place).
    I think I know where the problem may be. I can't uninstall Adobe AIR and nothing works...
    Trying to uninstall it through Control Panel doesn't work and neither does using Microsoft's FixIt tool...
    Help needed.

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Any territory definition in such reseller agreement or program terms shall supersede the definition stated in this agreement.
    2. Software License; Membership.
    2.1 Software License. This Section 2.1 applies to Customers who have purchased a license to the Software but have not purchased a membership-based license or service such as the Creative Cloud membership (as described in Section 2.2).
    2.1.1 License Grant. Subject to Customer’s continuous compliance with this agreement and payment of the applicable license fees, Adobe grants Customer a non-exclusive and limited license to install and use the Software: (a) in the Territory, (b) during the term of such license (“License Term”), (c) within the scope of the License Type and on the Permitted Number of Customer’s Compatible Computers as specified in the Documentation, and (d) in a manner consistent with the terms of this agreement and applicable Documentation. Unless otherwise defined in this agreement, in the applicable Documentation, or at the time of purchase, License Term shall be perpetual. Upon the expiration or termination of the License Term, some or all of the Software may cease to operate without prior notice. Upon expiration or termination of the License Term, Customer may not use the Software unless Customer has renewed the license. The license granted herein is supplemented by specific provisions in Section 16 as related to the use of certain applicable products and components that may be included in the Software such as font software, Acrobat, After Effects, Adobe Presenter, Contribute, Flash Player, Flash Builder, Digital Publishing Suite, and Adobe Runtimes.
    2.1.2 License Types.
    2.1.2.1 Non-Serialized Software. The Software, or portions of the Software, that are provided without a serial number during the License Term may only be installed and used on any number of Compatible Computers as part of an organizational deployment plan during the License Term for demonstration, evaluation, and training purposes only, and only if any Output Files or other materials produced through such use are used only for internal, non-commercial, and non-production purposes. THE NON-SERIALIZED SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS-IS”. ACCESS TO AND USE OF ANY OUTPUT FILES CREATED WITH SUCH NON-SERIALIZED SOFTWARE IS ENTIRELY AT CUSTOMER’S OWN RISK.
    2.1.2.2 Evaluation Software. The Software, or portions of the Software, that are provided with a serial number designated for “evaluation purposes” or other similar designation (such as Software or a serial number supplied as “EVAL” under a separate agreement) (“Evaluation Software”) may only be installed and used on Permitted Number of Compatible Computers during the License Term for demonstration, evaluation, and training purposes only, and only if any Output Files or other materials produced through such use are used only for internal, non-commercial, and non-production purposes. THE EVALUATION SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”. ACCESS TO AND USE OF ANY OUTPUT FILES CREATED WITH SUCH EVALUATION SOFTWARE IS ENTIRELY AT CUSTOMER’S OWN RISK.
    2.1.2.3 Subscription Edition. For the Software available on a subscription-basis (“Subscription Edition”), Customer may install and use the Subscription Edition only on the Permitted Number of Compatible Computer during the License Term. Subject to the Permitted Number of Computers for the Subscription Edition, Adobe may allow Customer to install and use the most recent prior version of the Subscription Edition and the current version of the Subscription Edition on the same Computer during the License Term. Customer agrees that Adobe may change the type of Software (such as specific components, versions, platforms, languages, etc.) included in the Subscription Edition at any time and shall not be liable to Customer whatsoever for such change. Ongoing access to a Subscription Edition requires: (a) a recurring Internet connection to activate, renew, and validate the license, (b) Adobe or its authorized reseller’s receipt of recurring subscription payments, and (c) Customer’s agreement to subscription terms and other additional terms and conditions that are available at http://www.adobe.com/go/paymentterms or at the time of purchase. If Adobe does not receive the recurring subscription payment or cannot validate the license periodically, then the Software may become inactive without additional notice until Adobe receives the payment or validates the license.
    2.1.3 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1.4, the primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed under Section 2.1 (“Primary User”) may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer.
    2.1.4 Restrictions on Secondary Use by Volume Licensees. If the Software was obtained under an Adobe volume license program or agreement (such as Adobe Volume Licensing) by any licensee other than an educational volume licensee, then the second copy of the Software made under Section 2.1.3 must be used solely for the benefit and business of that volume licensee.
    2.1.5 Dual Boot Platform. The Software is licensed for use on a specific operating system platform. Customer must purchase a separate license for use of the Software on each operating system platform. By way of example, if Customer desires to install the Software on both the Mac OS and Windows operating system platforms on a device that runs both of those platforms (i.e., a dual boot machine), then Customer must first obtain two separate licenses for the Software. This is true even if two versions of the Software, each designed for a different operating system platform, are delivered to Customer on the same media.
    2.1.6 Distribution from a Server. As permitted by the Documentation, Customer may copy an image of the Software onto a Computer file server within Customer’s Internal Network (“Server”) for the purpose of downloading and installing the Software onto Computers within the same Internal Network for use only as permitted by this Section 2.
    2.1.7 Server Use.
    2.1.7.1 Except as otherwise permitted in the Documentation and subject to license restrictions stated in this agreement, Customer shall not install the Software on a Server. If permitted in such Documentation, then Customer may install the Software on a Server for the purpose of allowing an individual from a Computer within the same Internal Network (“Network User”) to access and use the Software. If expressly permitted by Adobe, “Internal Network” may include web hosting services with dedicated physical server space and restricted access to only Customer. The Network User who has access to or may use such Software on the Server is referred to as “Server Software User”. Neither the total number of Server Software Users (not the concurrent number of users) nor the total number of Computers capable of accessing the Software installed on the Server may exceed the Permitted Number. By way of example, if Customer has purchased 10 Software licenses (Permitted Number is 10) and Customer elects to install the Software on a Server, then Customer can only allow up to 10 Server Software Users access to the Software (even though Customer may have more than 10 Network Users or fewer than 10 concurrent users of the Software).
    2.1.7.2 For clarification and without limitation, the foregoing does not permit Customer to install or access (either directly or through commands, data, or instructions) the Software: (a) from or to a Computer not part of Customer’s Internal Network; (b) for enabling web hosted workgroups or web hosted services available to the public; (c) by any individual or entity to use, download, copy, or otherwise benefit from the functionality of the Software unless licensed to do so by Adobe; (d) as a component of a system, workflow or service accessible by more than the Permitted Number of users; or (e) for operations not initiated by an individual user (e.g., automated server processing).
    2.2 Membership. This Section 2.2 applies to Customers who have purchased a membership-based license or service such as the Creative Cloud membership (collectively, “Membership”).
    2.2.1 Adobe Online Services Related to the Membership. Subject to Customer’s continuous compliance with this agreement and payment of the applicable membership fees, if any, Adobe grants Customer a non-exclusive, Territory-wide, and limited right to access and use the Software and related Adobe Online Service (as further described in Section 16.4.1) as part of the Membership, subject to the terms stated in this agreement and the Additional Terms of Use (as the term is defined in Section 14.1.3 below).
    2.2.2 Software License Related to the Membership. Subject to Customer’s continuous compliance with this agreement and payment of the applicable membership fees, if any, Adobe grants Customer a non-exclusive and limited license to install and use the Software: (a) in the Territory, (b) during the period that the Membership is current and active (“Membership Term”), and (c) in a manner consistent with the terms of this agreement and applicable Documentation. Upon the expiration or termination of the Membership Term, (x) some or all of the Software may cease to operate without prior notice and (y) Customer may not use the Software unless Customer has renewed the membership. All terms related to the specific Software as stated in this agreement shall remain effective and continue to apply to Customer and its use of such Software.
    2.2.3 Restrictions. Customer agrees to the following additional terms and restrictions related to the Membership: (a) Adobe may change the type of Software (such as specific products, components, versions, platforms, languages, etc.) included in the Membership at any time and shall not be liable to Customer whatsoever for such change; (b) Customer may be required to connect to the Internet and log in at any time during the Membership Term; (c) Software may automatically connect to the Internet to verify Customer’s Membership without notice at any time; and (d) Customer may not enable or allow others to use the Software as Customer.
    2.3 Content Files. Unless stated otherwise in the “Read-Me” files, Documentation, or other license(s) associated with the Content Files, Customer may use, display, modify, reproduce, and distribute any of the Content Files. However, Customer may not distribute the Content Files on a stand-alone basis (i.e., in circumstances in which the Content Files constitute the primary value of the product being distributed), and Customer may not claim any trademark rights in the Content Files or derivative works thereof. Nothing stated herein shall affect the ownership of the Software as stated in Section 3.
    2.4 Sample Application Code. Customer may modify the source code form of those portions of the Software programs that are expressly identified as sample code, sample application code, code snippets, ActionScript class files, or sample components (each, “Sample Application Code”) in the accompanying Documentation solely for the purposes of designing, developing, and testing websites and applications developed using Adobe software programs; provided, however, Customer is permitted to copy and distribute the Sample Application Code (modified or unmodified) only if all of the following conditions are met: (a) Customer distributes only the compiled object code versions of the Sample Application Code with its application; (b) Customer does not include the Sample Application Code in any product or application designed for website development; and (c) Customer does not use the Adobe name, logos, icons, or other Adobe trademarks to market its application. Customer agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Adobe from and against any loss, damage, claims, or lawsuits, including attorney’s fees, that arise or result from the use or distribution of its application.
    2.5 Programming Languages. The Software may include portions of the ExtendScript SDK and Pixel Bender SDK. Subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 2, Adobe grants to Customer a nonexclusive, nontransferable, royalty-free license to use the items in the ExtendScript SDK and Pixel Bender SDK only for the purpose of internal development of application programs designed to function with Adobe products. Except as expressly provided in this Section 2.5, no portions of the ExtendScript SDK or the Pixel Bender SDK may be modified or distributed. Customer agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Adobe from and against any loss, damage, claims, or lawsuits, including attorney’s fees, that arise or result from such distribution.
    2.6 Documentation Copies. Customer may make no more than a reasonable number of copies of the Documentation for Customer’s own internal use in connection with use of the Software.
    3. Intellectual Property Ownership.
    The Software and any authorized copies that Customer makes are the intellectual property of and are owned by Adobe Systems Incorporated and its suppliers. The structure, organization, and source code of the Software are the valuable trade secrets and confidential information of Adobe Systems Incorporated and its suppliers. The Software is protected by law, including but not limited to the copyright laws of the United States and other countries, and by international treaty provisions. Except as expressly stated herein, this agreement does not grant Customer any intellectual property rights in the Software. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Adobe and its suppliers.
    4. Restrictions and Requirements.
    4.1 Proprietary Notices. Any permitted copy of the Software (including without limitation Documentation) that Customer makes must contain the same copyright and other proprietary notices that appear on or in the Software.

    4.3 No Modifications. Except as expressly permitted in Sections 2 or 16, Customer may not modify, port, adapt, or translate the Software.
    4.4 No Reverse Engineering. Except as otherwise expressly permitted in Section 16.1, Customer will not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code of the Software.
    4.5 No Unbundling. The Software may include various applications and components, may allow access to different Adobe Online Services, may support multiple platforms and languages, and may be provided to Customer on multiple media or in multiple copies. Nonetheless, the Software is designed and provided to Customer as a single product to be used as a single product on Computers as permitted herein. Customer is not required to install all component parts of the Software, but Customer may not unbundle the component parts of the Software for use on different Computers.
    4.6 No Transfer.
    4.6.1 CUSTOMER WILL NOT RENT, LEASE, SELL, SUBLICENSE, ASSIGN, OR TRANSFER ITS RIGHTS IN THE SOFTWARE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SOFTWARE OBTAINED THROUGH A WEB DOWNLOAD), OR AUTHORIZE ANY PORTION OF THE SOFTWARE TO BE COPIED ONTO ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL OR LEGAL ENTITY’S COMPUTER EXCEPT AS MAY BE EXPRESSLY PERMITTED HEREIN.
    4.6.2 Except with regard to Educational Software Products (as defined in Section 16.3), Pre-release Software (as defined in Section 16.2), Evaluation Software, not-for-resale copies of the Software, or Software obtained through an Adobe volume license program and further subject to Section 4.6.3, Customer may permanently transfer all its rights to use the Software to another individual or legal entity, provided that: (a) Customer also transfers this agreement, (ii) the serial number(s), the Software and all other software or hardware bundled, packaged, or pre-installed with the Software, including all copies, Updates, and Prior Versions (as defined in Section 5, below), and (iii) all copies of font software to such individual or entity; (b) Customer retains no Updates, Prior Versions, or copies, including backups and copies stored on a Computer; and (c) the receiving party accepts the terms and conditions of this agreement and any other terms and conditions under which Customer purchased a valid license to the Software. Additional information on transferring volume licensed software is available at http://www.adobe.com/go/volumepolicies.
    4.6.3 If the Software requires recurring activation or registration and Adobe grants Customer’s request to be exempted from the requirement of such recurring activation or registration, then in addition to the restrictions set forth in the Activation Terms (as defined in Section 14.3), then the right to permanently transfer as stated in Section 4.6.2 shall terminate immediately upon the grant of such request.
    4.6.4 Notwithstanding Section 4.6.2 above, Customer may only transfer all its rights to use the Software to another individual or legal entity residing within the same country as Customer, unless otherwise permitted by applicable laws.
    4.7 No Service Bureau. Customer will not use or offer the Software on a service bureau basis. Section 16.6.3 provides a limited exception for font software only.
    4.8 Adobe Runtime Restrictions. Except as expressly granted in Section 16.9, Customer will not use Adobe Runtimes on any non-PC device or with any embedded or device version of any operating system. For the avoidance of doubt, and by example only, Customer may not use Adobe Runtimes on any (a) mobile device, set top box, handheld, phone, game console, TV, DVD player, media center (other than with Windows XP Media Center Edition and its successors), electronic billboard or other digital signage, Internet appliance or other Internet-connected device, PDA, medical device, ATM, telematic device, gaming machine, home automation system, kiosk, remote control device, or any other consumer electronics device; (b) operator-based mobile, cable, satellite, or television system; or (c) other closed system device. Additional information on licensing Adobe Runtimes is available at http://www.adobe.com/go/licensing.
    4.9 Territory. Customer shall only use the Software and access the Adobe Online Services in the Territory and in a manner consistent with the activation policy described at http://www.adobe.com/go/activation. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary, for Customer who purchases a license with Permitted Number greater than 1 (or more than 1 copy of the Software), Customer must install or deploy the Software in the country where Customer purchases the license unless otherwise permitted in an Adobe volume licensing program. For Customer residing in the European Economic Area, “country” shall mean the European Economic Area. Adobe may terminate the license granted herein or suspend the Membership or access to the Adobe Online Services if Adobe determines that Customer is using the Software or Adobe Online Services in violation of this Section.
    4.10 No Circumvention. Customer may not (a) use any element of the Software to circumvent technological measures intended to control access to the Software or (b) develop or distribute products that are designed to circumvent such technological measures.
    5. Updates.
    If the Software is an Update to a prior version of Adobe software (the “Prior Version”), then Customer’s use of this Update is conditional upon its retention of the Prior Version. Therefore, if Customer validly transfers this Update pursuant to Section 4.6, the Customer must transfer the Prior Version along with it. If Customer wishes to use this Update in addition to the Prior Version, then Customer may only do so on the same Computer on which it has installed and is using the Prior Version. Any obligations that Adobe may have to support Prior Versions during the License Term may end upon the availability of this Update. No other use of the Update is permitted. Additional Updates may be licensed to Customer by Adobe with additional or different terms.
    6. Limited Warranty.
    Except as otherwise stated in a separate agreement between Adobe and a Software licensee, Adobe warrants to the individual or entity who first purchases a license for the Software that the Software will perform substantially in accordance with the corresponding user manual for the Software for the shorter period of (a) the ninety (90) day period or (b) License Term following delivery of the Software (“Warranty Period”) when used on the Compatible Computer. Non-substantial variation of performance from the user manual does not establish a warranty right. This limited warranty does not apply to the following, which are made available AS-IS and without warranty from Adobe: patches; (ii) font software; (iii) Pre-release Software, trial, starter, evaluation, product sampler, Evaluation Software, and not-for-resale copies of the Software; (iv) websites, Adobe Online Services; and Third Party Online Services; (v) Certified Document Services (see Section 16); and (vi) any software made available by Adobe for free via web download from an Adobe website. All warranty claims must be made, along with proof of purchase, to the Adobe Customer Support Department within such Warranty Period. Additional information on warranty claims is available at http://www.adobe.com/go/support. The entire liability of Adobe and its affiliates related to such warranty claim and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy under any warranty will be limited to either, at Adobe’s option, support of the Software based on the warranty claim, replacement of the Software, or, if support or replacement is not practicable at Adobe’s determination, refund of the license fee Adobe received for the Software (if any). Customer shall only request refunds from the vendor who sold Customer the Software. THE LIMITED WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION GIVES CUSTOMER SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. CUSTOMER MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS UNDER LAW WHICH MAY VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. ADOBE DOES NOT SEEK TO LIMIT CUSTOMER’S WARRANTY RIGHTS TO ANY EXTENT NOT PERMITTED BY LAW. Please see Section 16 for jurisdiction-specific provisions or contact the Adobe Customer Support Department.
    7. Disclaimer.
    THE LIMITED WARRANTY IN SECTION 6 AND ANY STATUTORY WARRANTY AND REMEDY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER LAW ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES APPLICABLE TO THE SOFTWARE. OTHER THAN THOSE OFFERED AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES, ADOBE, ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AND CERTIFICATE AUTHORITIES (DEFINED BELOW) DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND TERMS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHETHER BY STATUTE, COMMON LAW, CUSTOM, USAGE, OR OTHERWISE AS TO ANY MATTER, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO PERFORMANCE, SECURITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, INTEGRATION, MERCHANTABILITY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. OTHER THAN SUCH OFFERED AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES, THE SOFTWARE AND ACCESS TO ANY WEBSITES, ADOBE OR THIRD PARTY ONLINE SERVICES, AND CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED AS-IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS.

ADOBE DOES NOT SEEK TO LIMIT CUSTOMER’S WARRANTY RIGHTS TO ANY EXTENT NOT PERMITTED BY LAW. The provisions of Sections 7 and Section 8 will survive the termination of this agreement, howsoever caused, but this will not imply or create any continued right to use the Software after termination of this agreement.
    8. Limitation of Liability.
    EXCEPT FOR THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OFFERED BY ADOBE ABOVE AND ANY REMEDIES THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER LAW, ADOBE, ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AND CERTIFICATE AUTHORITIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, CLAIMS, OR COSTS WHATSOEVER INCLUDING ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, PERSONAL INJURY OR FAILURE TO MEET ANY DUTY OF CARE, OR CLAIMS BY A THIRD PARTY, EVEN IF AN ADOBE REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS, DAMAGES, CLAIMS, OR COSTS. IN ANY EVENT, ADOBE’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY AND THAT OF ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AND CERTIFICATE AUTHORITIES UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE SOFTWARE, IF ANY.

Nothing contained in this agreement limits Adobe’s liability to Customer in the event of death or personal injury resulting from Adobe’s negligence or for the tort of deceit (fraud). Adobe is acting on behalf of its affiliates, suppliers, and Certificate Authorities for the purpose of disclaiming, excluding and limiting obligations, warranties, and liability, but in no other respects and for no other purpose.
    THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN CUSTOMER’S JURISDICTION. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY MAY NOT BE VALID IN SOME JURISDICTIONS. CUSTOMER MAY HAVE RIGHTS THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED UNDER CONSUMER PROTECTION AND OTHER LAWS. ADOBE DOES NOT SEEK TO LIMIT ITS WARRANTY OR REMEDIES TO ANY EXTENT NOT PERMITTED BY LAW. SEE SECTION 16 FOR JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC STATEMENTS.

The affirmative action clause and regulations contained in the preceding sentence will be incorporated by reference into this agreement.
    12.2 Commercial Items. For U.S. Government End Users, Software is a “Commercial Item(s),” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. Section 2.101, consisting of “Commercial Computer Software” and “Commercial Computer Software Documentation,” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. Section 12.212 or 48 C.F.R. Section 227.7202, as applicable. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. Section 12.212 or 48 C.F.R. Sections 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, as applicable, the Commercial Computer Software and Commercial Computer Software Documentation are being licensed to U.S. Government end users (a) only as Commercial Items and (b) with only those rights as are granted to all other end users pursuant to the terms and conditions herein. Unpublished-rights reserved under the copyright laws of the United States.
    13. Compliance with Licenses.
    If Customer is a business, company, or organization, Customer agrees that, in addition to any license compliance checking performed by the Software, Adobe or its authorized representative have the right, no more than once every twelve (12) months, upon seven (7) business days’ prior notice to Customer, to inspect Customer’s records, systems, and facilities to verify that its installation and use of any and all Adobe software or service is in conformity with its valid licenses from Adobe. For example, Adobe has the right to those of Customer’s records useful to determine whether installations of the Software have been serialized, and Customer shall provide such records to Adobe promptly upon request by Adobe. Additionally, Customer shall provide Adobe with all records and information requested by Adobe in order to verify that its installation and use of any and all Adobe software is in conformity with its valid licenses from Adobe within thirty (30) days of Adobe’s request. Additional information on serialization is available at http://www.adobe.com/go/elicensing. If the verification discloses a shortfall in licenses for the Software or Membership, Customer shall immediately acquire any necessary licenses, memberships, and any applicable back maintenance and support.
    14. Internet Connectivity and Privacy.
    14.1 Automatic Connections to the Internet. The Software may cause Customer’s Computer, without notice, to automatically connect to the Internet and to communicate with an Adobe website or Adobe domain for purposes such as validating Software license and providing Customer with additional information, features, or functionality. The Adobe Online Privacy Policy, available at http://www.adobe.com/go/privacy (“Privacy Policy”), governs such connection and communication. Specifically:
    14.1.1 Pursuant to the Privacy Policy, Adobe may (a) track website visits through the use of cookies, web beacons, and similar devices and (b) collect and transmit Customer information.
    14.1.2 As permitted by applicable law or as consented to by Customer, Adobe may (a) send Customer transactional messages to facilitate the Adobe Online Service or the activation or registration of the Software or Adobe Online Service or (b) deliver in-product marketing to provide information about the Software and other Adobe products and Services using information including, but not limited to, platform version, version of the Software, license status, and language.
    14.2 Updating. The Software may cause Customer’s Computer, without additional notice, to automatically connect to the Internet (intermittently or on a regular basis) to (a) check for Updates that are available for download to and installation on the Computer and (b) notify Adobe of the results of installation attempts.
    14.3 Activation. The Software may require Customer to (a) obtain an Adobe ID, (b) activate or reactivate the Software, including activation of certain components or features, (c) register the software, or (d) validate the Membership. Such requirement may cause Customer’s Computer to connect to the Internet without notice on install, on launch, and on a regular basis thereafter. Once connected, the Software will collect and transmit information to Adobe as further described at http://www.adobe.com/go/activation (“Activation Terms”). Software or Customer may also receive information from Adobe related to Customer’s license, subscription, or Membership. Adobe may use such information to detect or prevent fraudulent or unauthorized use not in accordance with a valid license, subscription, or Membership. Failure to activate or register the Software, validate the subscription or Membership, or a determination by Adobe of fraudulent or unauthorized use of the Software may result in reduced functionality, inoperability of the Software, or a termination or suspension of the subscription or Membership.
    14.4 Deactivation. Customer may deactivate and uninstall the Software from its Computer in order to install and activate the Software on another Computer in accordance with this agreement (“Deactivation”) and as further described in http://www.adobe.com/go/activation. Deactivation requires Internet connectivity.
    14.5 Use of Online Services. The Software may cause Customer’s Computer, without additional notice and on an intermittent or regular basis, to automatically connect to the Internet to facilitate Customer’s access to content and services that are provided by Adobe or third parties as further described in Section 16.4 (Online Services). In addition, the Software may, without additional notice, automatically connect to the Internet to update downloadable materials from these online services so as to provide immediate availability of these services even when Customer is offline. If Customer accesses an Adobe Online Service (as defined in Section 16.4 below), then additional information such as Customer’s Adobe ID, user name, and password may be transmitted to and stored by Adobe pursuant to the Privacy Policy.
    14.6 Digital Certificates. The Software uses digital certificates (as described in Section 16.5) to help Customer identify downloaded files (e.g., applications and content) and the publishers of those files. For example, Adobe AIR uses digital certificates to help Customer identify the publisher of Adobe AIR applications. The Adobe Acrobat family of products also uses digital certificates to sign and validate signatures within Portable Document Format (“PDF”) documents and to validate certified PDF documents. Customer’s Computer may connect to the Internet at the time of validation of a digital certificate.
    14.7 Settings Manager. The Software may include Flash Player. Flash Player may save certain user settings by storing them on Customer’s Computer as a local shared object. They are associated with the instance of Flash Player on the Computer, allowing Customer to customize runtime features. The Flash Player Settings Manager permits Customer to modify such settings, including the ability to limit third parties from storing local shared objects or grant third-party content the right to access the computer’s microphone and camera. Additional information on how to configure settings in its version of Flash Player, including information on how to disable local shared objects using the Flash Player Settings Manager, is available at http://www.adobe.com/go/settingsmanager. Additional information on local shared objects is available at http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayer_security.
    15. Peer-to-Peer Communications.
    The Software may use Customer’s connection to a local area network, without additional notice, to automatically connect to other Adobe software and, in doing so, may indicate on the local area network that it is available for communication with other Adobe software. These connections may transmit the IP Address of Customer’s connection to the local network.
    16. Specific Provisions and Exceptions.
    This section sets forth specific provisions related to certain products and components of the Software as well as limited exceptions to the above terms and conditions. To the extent that any provision in this section is in conflict with any other term or condition in this agreement, the terms stated in this section will supersede such other term or condition.
    16.1 No Prejudice; European Economic Area Provisions; Australia Mandatory Notice.
    16.1.1 This agreement will not prejudice the statutory rights of any party, including those dealing as consumers. For example, for consumers in New Zealand who obtain the Software for personal, domestic, or household use (not business purposes), this agreement is subject to the Consumer Guarantees Act.
    16.1.2 If Customer obtained the Software in the European Economic Area (EEA), Customer usually resides in the EEA and Customer is a consumer (that is its use of the Software is for personal, non-business related purposes), then Section 6 (Limited Warranty) does not apply to Customer’s purchase and use of the Software. Instead, Adobe warrants for a period of 2 years from purchase that the Software provides the functionalities set forth in the applicable user manual (the “agreed upon functionalities”) when used on the Compatible Computer. Non-substantial variation from the agreed upon functionalities will not establish any warranty rights. THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO SOFTWARE THAT CUSTOMER USES ON A PRE-RELEASE, TRYOUT, STARTER, OR PRODUCT SAMPLER BASIS, OR TO FONT SOFTWARE, OR TO THE EXTENT THE SOFTWARE FAILS TO PERFORM BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN ALTERED BY CUSTOMER. To make a warranty claim, Customer must notify the Adobe Customer Support Department during this 2 year period, providing details of proof of purchase of the Software. Adobe will verify with Customer whether there is a defect in the Software or advise Customer that the error arises because Customer has not installed the Software correctly (in which case, Adobe shall assist Customer). If there is a defect in the Software, Customer may request from Adobe either a refund or a repaired or replacement copy of the Software. Customer shall only request refunds from the vendor who sold Customer the Software. Requests must be accompanied by proof of purchase. In the event Customer’s warranty details are substantiated, Adobe will meet Customer’s request for repaired or replacement Software, unless it is not reasonable for Adobe to do so, in which case Adobe will provide Customer with a refund. For warranty assistance, please contact the Adobe Customer Support Department.
    Please note that the provisions of Section 8 (Limitation of Liability) will continue to apply to any damages claims Customer makes in respect of its use of the Software. Nonetheless, Adobe shall be liable for direct losses that are reasonably foreseeable in the event of a breach by Adobe of this agreement. Customer is advised to take all reasonable measures to avoid and reduce damages, in particular by making backup copies of the Software and its computer data.
    This agreement, and in particular this Section 16.1.2, is intended to describe Customer’s rights (including its statutory rights) in the event there should be problems with its use of the Software. If Customer’s statutory rights are greater than this description, its statutory rights shall apply.
    16.1.3 Nothing included in this agreement (including Section 4.4) shall limit any non-waivable right to decompile the Software that Customer may enjoy under applicable law. For example, if Customer is located in the European Union (EU), Customer may have the right upon certain conditions specified in the applicable law to decompile the Software if it is necessary to do so in order to achieve interoperability of the Software with another software program and Adobe has not made such information available, under such circumstance, Customer must first ask Adobe in writing to provide the information necessary to achieve such operability. In addition, such decompilation may only be performed by Customer or someone else entitled to use a copy of the Software on Customer’s behalf. Adobe has the right to impose reasonable conditions before providing such information. Any information supplied by Adobe or obtained by Customer, as permitted hereunder, may only be used by Customer for the purpose described herein and may not be disclosed to any third party or used to create any software that is substantially similar to the expression of the Software or used for any other act that infringes the copyright of Adobe or its licensors.
    16.1.4 If Customer obtains the Software in Australia, then the following provision shall apply, notwithstanding anything stated t

  • Air Install Corrupt? Cannot install anything, cannot uninstall AIR?

    It all started when TweetDeck stopped working. I tried to remove it, and it displayed a bunch of dialogs with squares instead of characters. I tried to install it and got a refusal to install from Air, message 2032.
    I started Prezi to see if it would run. Prezi runs, and said that it had an update. I tried to load the update and got a message that the update would not load.
    My guess is that my Air install is bad. So ...
    I tried to uninstall Air, and it told  me that it was going to break Acrobat. (Thanks a ton, do you have any idea what I paid for Acrobat!?!?)
    I decided to go ahead, and the uninstall hung and would not proceed.
    I tried to load Air on top of the existing install and it refused to install because it thought it was already installed.
    So now I can't update anything that relies on Air, and I can't uninstall it, and I can't reload it.
    Please advise ...

    What version of AIR does you have?
    You can get the application install log file and post here. People might be able to help.
    To get the log file, create a .airappinstall.log file in your home directory.
    You can get the AIR Runtime install log by creating a .airinstall.log file in your home directory. This might help telling what happens with your AIR Runtime installation.

  • Why cannot uninstall Safari 4

    It is so unMac to have a software program you cannot install. I do not want Safari 4. I like simplicity. Also, I have clients that do not use 4 but 3. Having it on my computer is costing me time and money.
    I have used Macs for almost 20 years. The culture is changing.
    Tech support has been great, but there is nothing they can do. Until the non-Mac world catches up, there should be a "downgrade" or uninstall app.
    Forcing an application on a user is just not right.

    Welcome to the forums!
    Nobody forced you to upgrade to Safari 4. You chose to download and install it.
    there should be a "downgrade" or uninstall app.
    I am inclined to agree. IMO all applications should come with an uninstaller.
    The difficulty in uninstalling Safari 4 lies in the fact that it shares some components, like webkit, with other applications, which would cease to work if it was not done properly.
    The only safe way to uninstall Safari is to perform and archive and install:
    How to Archive & Install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    to retrieve an earlier version of Safari from your install disks.
    Lastly, if you are really running 10.5.2, Safari 4 will not run on your system, as it requires 10.5.7.

  • Cannot uninstall Air 15.0.0.249.

    Windows 8.1 Control Panel says some prior version is needed.  How to force an uninstall?  Tried installing 15.0.0.356 but 15.0.0.249 remains listed, even after a refresh or reboot.  Tried reinstalling 15.0.0.249, but that didn't help either.

    Same here... no success at all.
    Now going to Mac Time Capsule to revert to earlier today and start all over again.  Two hours wasted trying to do what should be a simple app installation. 

  • What Crap. And you cannot uninstall Adobe Air

    Adobe is really losing my vote on trying to do things it knows nothing about. This media player is one prime example.
    But you cannot uninstall Adobe Air as it is needed for Adobe Acrobat. Adobe is not tying things together using Adobe Air. So I guess Air has to stay.
    But Adobe Media Player. What a piece of sh*t. I have .flv files on my computer that i created and could not even clear the most recent files played. And if I threw that file away, the video stayed on the list with a purple triangle saying error. Yea, no sh*t Adobe, I threw it away so take it off the list or let me clear the recently played files.
    Adobe is just getting into bed with more companies and this is just another example of no user control and blatant commercialism on Adobe's part.
    Screw Adobe on this one. Not even an uninstaller and by the way, I am on the Mac. I just trashed the program and when I tried to trash Air, that is when it said Acrobat uses that.
    For shame Adobe. Think next time.

    Please try enabling installer logging to get a better idea of
    why the uninstall is failing. If you can post that log, I should be
    able to help further. See

  • Cannot Uninstall Adobe Air - tried everything - Pandora not working.

    I cannot update AdobeAir and now pandora will not work. I have been trying to update for months.
    There is an unspecified error each time I try.
    So now I am trying to uninstall AIR, so I can attempt to reinstall.  I get the same error when I try to uninstall.
    I am am the admistrator on my machine - and I have tried to uninstall as administrator. No difference.
    I tried to uninstall at the CMD line - no difference.
    I am on my work maching - Windows XP Professional Version 2002 - SP3
    AIR is version 1.5.3.9130
    Please help!

    Hi guys,
    Could you try uninstalling AIR using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility?  Details on this app can be found on this post.  If that does not solve the problem, the next step would be to examine your AIR installer logs.  Here are the details for this procedure:
    1. Ensure that viewing hidden folders is enabled.  Instructions can be found on Microsoft's site:
    Windows 7, Vista, XP
    2. Navigate to the following folder (replace username with your login name):
    Windows 7:  C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Adobe\AIR\logs
    Vista:  C:\Users\ username\AppData\Local\Adobe\AIR\logs
    XP:  C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\AIR\logs
    3. Please attach the install.log to your forum post or open the log file with Notepad or your favorite text editor and select all and copy/paste.
    4. In some situations the AIR installer will fail during the MSI portion of the install.  You can determine if this occurred by searching the Install.log text for "Error occurred during msi install operation".  If this text is found, please enable and locate the MSI log using this Microsoft document and include it, along with the AIR Install.log when reporting the install issue.
    How to enable Windows Installer logging
    Once MSI logging is enabled, please re-run the AIR Installer to generate the MSI Log.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Cannot uninstall or reinstall Adobe Air on XP - tried everything

    I cannot uninstall or reinstall Adobe Air and now Pandora is not working. If I click the Air installer it says Air is already installed but the Pandora app says I need to install Air. If I look in add/remove programs it is not listed. I have tried the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and the Microsoft Fix it but Air does not show up in them either. I am running XP SP3.              Thanks, Lance

    Regarding error 1606 - have a look at this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886549/.
    If you still cannot uninstall Adobe Reader, use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove it.  (But I recently heard of problems when using the cleanup tool if Office 2007 is installed.)
    After removing Adobe Reader, download http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi, save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

    Does anyone have any idea as to how I can effectively and

  • Why is it that I cannot uninstall because the program was from an unidentified developer

    Why is it that I cannot uninstall a program because the program was from an unidentified developer?

    Might have an answer for you if I understood what you are asking.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper 2.0.1
        2. AppDelete 3.2.6
        3. Automaton 1.50
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash 1.8.2
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
      10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

    Subject: Cannot uninstall and then reinstall Adobe Air
    I have a similar problem. AdobeAir for me is associated with BBC iPlayer. Recently it told me of an update but then said I needed administrator permission. The computer is my own and I am the administrator. I have tried to uninstall via Control Panel but I cannot do that either without administrator permission. My platform in Windows XP. I have also downloaded a new version of Adobe Air from the website and tried installing that but again it asks for administrator permission. Has anyone any idea how to get around this?

  • Why cannot I not uninstall itunes

    Itunes has been installed and uninstalled on my computer several times, however now I cannot uninstall or install Itunes, Bonjour or mobileme.  when I click on the itunes icon, an alert states it is missing some files and to reinstall itunes, when I attempt to repare, remove or reinstall, I receive an alert stating that the path is incorrect and when I follow that path, it doesn't exist on my computer.  It says to locate itunes.msi, however doing a large search several times it does not find itunes.msi.  Add/remove option will not uninstall either.  I cannot sync my iphone 3G and I cannot purchase any music on itunes.  what am I missing?  please help - any advice would be helpful
    cheers

    Then I was instructed to re-install Itunes after removing it. I tried to but I got message to say that the.msi file was not available.
    (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 a Code 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 iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    I have a WINXP Home Edition SP3 PC on which Adobe AIR 1.5.2 is installed.
    Any attempt to uninstall or update AIR results in the dialog:
    Adobe AIR Setup
    Adobe AIR
    Sorry, an error has occurred.
    An error occurred while installing Adobe AIR. Installation may not be allowed by your administrator. Please contact your administrator.
    Close
    I am an administrator. 
    I have turned off all AV and protection software.
    I have run the AIR uninstall or update from Windows and from a command prompt.
    How can I uninstall Abode AIR?
    Thanks.
