Adobe Reader Customization uninstall previous versions

Hello, I deployed Adobe Reader XI through Group Policy, Windows Server 2003. I used the Adobe Reader XI Customization Tool, and created a transform. I left the option checked to uninstall previous versions of Reader. Adobe Reader XI installed with all other settings configured properly that were created in the transform; however, the previous version, Adobe Reader X, did not uninstall. Has anyone experience this issue? If so, how did you get the other version of Adobe uninstalled?

Make sure the last thing you do in the wizard (right before you save) is check the box. There is a current bug in the customization wizard that will uncheck that option if you do anything else afterwards. There is a note of the bug in the wizard documentation located here (see the note in section 6.2): http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Wizard/installoptions.html#remove-insta lled-products
The note reads: "There is a current bug in which this checkbox becomes unchecked if any other feature is configured. Therefore, if you want to remove all versions of Reader, check this box as your last action before you save the modified package."

  • Reader 11 not uninstalling previous versions when installed via GPO MSI

    I donwloaded the Reader 11 msi, patched it to 11.0.1, then with the version 11 customization wizard told it uninstall previous versions of Reader. When I push the transformed msi via a gpo it installs 11 and all of the other setting I set in the transform, like suppress EULA are applied, but Reader 10 still exists after the install.

  • Do I need to uninstall previous versions??

    Hello,
    Do I need to completely uninstall previous versions of any CS2 (Bridge, or even After Effects 7 Pro) before installing After Effects CS3?
    Thank you!

    I'm having the same error message, too. AND I've already tried the cleanscript, several times. All the way to level 4. I still get the same message. And adobe support is absolutely useless. I tell them that Safari 3 beta seems to be a very predominant problem when installing CS3 and they tell me that there are no records of this occurence. Well, threads don't lie, honey. Your customers are pissed. And you know what's even worse? I HAD CS3 installed on my Mac and then something happens in Photoshop, tells me to uninstall then reinstall, and that's when this starts happening. Only the problem jumped to the rest of Adobe's applications and they told me I had to reinstall them, as well. Now, after running multiple scripts and erasing previous versions of Photoshop, I still have nothing.
    And what's even more ironic is those people who got a hacked version of the apps and didn't have to go through any of this. Soooo... what's the incentive to purchase from you Adobe?

  • How to uninstall previous versions of lightroom?

    how do you uninstall previous versions of lightroom?
    Do you also need to delete any folders?
    I have Updated to the new LR CC version a couple of days ago and need space.

    Knowing whether you are using a Mac or a PC would be rather important to answer your question.
    Anyhow, there is not need to delete any program folder manually. Simply use the respective method of your OS.
    LR CC created a copy of your LR5 catalog and upgraded it. If you remove LR5 you might want to remove the catalog file as well as the preview folder (make sure not to delete the new ones of LR CC ).
    Here is how to find everything: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html

  • Should I uninstall previous versions of JRE???

    I have these previous version of JRE installed:
    J2RE, SE 1.4.1_02
    J2RE, SE 1.4.1_07
    J2RE, SE 1.4.2_05
    I am now updating to J2RE, SE 1.4.2_06 should I uninstall previous versions of JRE or should I leave it alone?
    If I were to uninstall do I uninstall via Control Panel or is there another way to uninstall JRE?

    There is little harm in either having multiple version (except disk psace/clutter) or removing them. If it turns out you have software that will not work with the latest version, you can always re-install an older version.

  • Should I uninstall previous versions of Firefox?

    Should I uninstall previous versions of Firefox? I found 4 versions of Firefox in my control panel/programs & features. The latest version is 5.0.

    Quite honestly, unless you installed Firefox into a different Program Files folder yourself every time you installed a new version of Firefox, I doubt if those older versions are still installed. Don't '''Remove''' anything until you can verify that the older versions are in fact still there, by "touring" the Program Files set of folder thru the Windows Explorer file interface ''(not to be confused with the Internet Explorer web browser)''.
    When Firefox is updated, it installs the new version in the folder where the old version was. And, the Firefox installer uses the same folder all the time, except for the 4.0 beta versions and when the user does a '''"Custom"''' installation & selects a different folder than normal for Firefox.

    Please try this: Copy the files formhistory.sqlite (or formhistory) and places.sqlite (or places) if they exist and delete the entire Mozilla folder in %APPDATA% and also the Firefox folder in Program Files.

  • Adobe Reader 2.5 trial version problem

    Hi, I downloaded the 7 day trial version of the Adobe Reader LE 2.5 version, to test if it has the REFLOW/WRAP feature. When I install it in my device (n8), it first says "Application not compatible with phone. Contiune Anyway?" and when I do continue, it says "UPDATE ERROR" .
    Anyone experienced this problem? Anyone knows any way out of this ?
    Thanks

    But it doesn't have that feature I mentioned. Although the website and the OVI store do mention that the feature is included in the purchasable version... does your device have the "word wrapping/ reflow feature"?

  • Uninstalling previous versions of Photoshop and Lightroom

    I would like to uninstall previous versions of Photoshop and Lightroom in order to free up space.  What is the proper procedure for doing so?  Is it recommended to do?
    Mark Steele

    Is it recommended to do?
    It's not recommended nor is it not recomemnded. It's entirely your own decision. As Curt said, there are certain side effects, in addition to file associations also shared components possibly breaking down (PDF libraries), so if it's not that critical, leave them in place. otehrwise you may have to reinstall CS6 after you have removed the other versions.
