Can't install lightroom 4.1 or uninstall LR 4

Everytime I try either of these I get windows cannot locate Adobe_lightroom_x64.msi
I copied that file from the installation but lightroom refuses to use it!
I tried deleting all the fold files for lightroom and still couldn't remove the program!!!
I'm photographer and this problem is killing me! I really need this program working!!!
I tried disabling my antivirus realtime protection(avira) and tried some of the forum methods but nothing still works!
I'm using administrator for installing and set permissions correctly.....nothing works!
What's the best way to wipe a previous adobe installation?!?! Maybe that will help
When I try to uninstall I get error 1714
Lightroom 3.6 installs fines. If I try to install regular lightroom 4, it only imediately converts to lightroom 4.1 installation?!??!?! I already converted my catalog folder to lightroom 4...>ARGH!!!

Basically, you have a very damaged set of files on your system. It sounds like you may even have some LR4.0 and LR4.1 bits on the system. LR3 is a completely different application and will install and run without regard to any issues encountered by LR4.
At this point, you will need to completely remove LR4 from the system by hand. This means removing all of the files, folders, and registry keys involved with the application. Once you have removed the application folder from Program Files, use this to clean up the rest: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall

    Thank you for your answers, it helps me a lot.
    But sorry for my ignorance. I understand how you mean it, but I don't know how to do it. I'm scared to lose the settings/edits of the images.

  • I can't install Lightroom from CC subscription

    Hello, I can't install Lightroom from Adobe CC
    Following 30 days of test with an evaluation version, I have subscribed to a pack CC+Lightroom; all is OK with CC, the evaluation version has been replaced by the subscribed one.
    But on Lightroom side it went much more difficult; I was still with the evalaution version and was always requested to enter a serial number.
    I asked for an advise on this forum and was suggested to uninstall Lightroom with Windows 8.1 process; I did so.
    Now I try to install the regular Lightroom version, but a pop-up window called "URIHandler" is asking for the choice of a program, somewhere on my PC ?
    I may add that the CC manager window is still indicated that I have an up-to date Lightroom version on my PC, which is unfortunately false; all lightroom directory has been deleted by the Windows uninstall process.
    I am stuck at this stage; does someone did experience such situation, and could help ?
    Thanks a lot

    Might not help your specific issue but you're installing outdated software.
    Try installing the current version 5.7.1

  • Can't install Lightroom 5 on a second computer, I am NOT a creative cloud customer, I am a stand-alone user.  How do I enter my serial number???

    I can't install Lightroom 5 on a second computer, I am NOT a creative cloud customer, I am a stand-alone user.  But when I try to install on my laptop, it always trys to sell me the monthly membership.  How do I enter my serial number in the second copy of lightroom?  It won't ask me for it, and I cannot enter it anywhere in the settings?  I am stuck

    You probably downloaded the Cloud version.  Get the licensed version thru the following linked page...

    Oliver,
    Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
    Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

  • Can't install Lightroom 4 Error 18501

    Can't install lightroom 4.  Error is 18501.  Says I need to update explorer, adobe flash, etc.  I went through all that.  I have Explorer 10.  I have latest adobe flash, etc.  Have Windows 7.  Had a disk of LR4.  Installed.  Clicked on shortcut it made.  Asked to purchase a license.  Then it said I needed all these things I just mentioned and keeps reporting same error 18501.

    Sounds liek something is blocking the relevant components. Turn off any extras like security tools and other utilities.

  • Can I instal Lightroom on my two mac book pro?

    Can I instal Lightroom on my two mac book pro?

    Apple decision to remove iDVD will deter me from recommending Mac to fellow Windows users.
    Many other Mac users feel the same way.
    Leave feedback here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
    Now that my newly bought Mac does not provided a avenue for me to burnt DVDs, I am
    really disappointed.
    If you are still within your 15 day return period.  Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.  (There are no realistic substitutes.)
    Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.
    408-996-1010
    800-692-7753
    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk.
    IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

  • Can't install Exchange 2013 after previous uninstall (insufficient user privileges with the same user)

    I have installed Exchange 2013 on Windows Server 2012, which ist a member of a Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain. All prerequisites and AD modifications were successfully  completed and I could install Exchange 2013. Unfortunately I made a mistake with
    the target directory and had to uninstal Exchange 2013. If I start the Setup again, it fails in prerequisite check - the current user should not be a member of Enterprise and Schema admin Group, but it's the same user, which comleted the previous Installation
    of Exchange 2013! Do you have any idea how to solve this Problem - I'm running out of ideas.

    Inhave tried to run setup /PrepareSchema again and get the following error in exchange setup log:
    [03.07.2014 19:25:53.0305] [0] Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory: Couldn't find the Enterprise Organization container.
    [03.07.2014 19:25:53.0337] [0] Validating options for the 0 requested roles
    [03.07.2014 19:25:53.0383] [0] [ERROR] Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory: Couldn't find the Enterprise Organization container.

    After removing all Exchange Parts by ADUC (advanced View) and ADSI Edit (Services) I'm able to install Exchnge 2013 again - the uninstall procedure seems not to work in a clean manner.
