Can't uninstall CS6 (PC)

Hi Folks --
So, a year ago I ordered CS6 InDesign but found it locked up/froze when using a critcal library (1000+ items) I had in CS2 InDesign.
Adobe was kind enough to refund my purchase and I tried to uninstall CS6 without complete success, but I was able to go back to CS2 so I didn't care.
Now, I'm really biting the bullet and regenerating the library. I've deleted CS2 successfully but not CS6. I get this...
...and I've run the Cleaner Tool (several times) but not luck.
Suggestions?
Thanks...Cris

Hi Mylenium. I don't know how to get you the exact config. OS is Windows 7 Home Edition, 64 bit.
I don't think I have install logs as I'm trying to uninstall it and had installed it a year ago. The error shown in the screen shot happens after just a second.

Can I uninstall CS6 if I am a subscriber?

Sorry this is all new to me
i just started a monthly subscritption via download to CS6 photoshop.
i get this message when opening CS6 "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop".
as a subscriber can I uninstall it and try again?
thanks for any help

Yes. Simply uninstall it via your Add or Remove Programs system control panel and then let AAM reinstall it.

I can't uninstall CS6..

I have had the CS6 trial on my computer for awhile and I was going on an uninstall spree... I can't uninstall this beta version when I try to it just says... " cannot uninstall, you can restart your computer or try the cleaner" I have installed the cleaner aswell and it still did not take it off.....!??!

if you still have the installation files you might be able to reinstall it and properly uninstall it.
otherwise, you should leave it alone or ask someone that's computer-savvy to manually remove your files and clean your registry.

Can't uninstall CS6 and CS5 isn't working either.

I downloaded the Web and Design CS6 without realizing that my computer doesn't have the minimum requirements. I need to uninstall the programs, but none of them will even launch, including the uninstaller, because my computer can't support them.
I'm also trying to get Photoshop CS5 to work, Dreamweaver CS5 works - but the program isn't booting properly. When I look at the task manager, I see the Photoshop process start and get up to about 10,500 K and then it disappears.
I'm using Windows Vista and my screen resolution is 1366 by 768.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, then manualyl trash al lthe files and folders. And if CS6 doesn't run, it's unlikely CS5 will, either.

Can I uninstall CS6 from my 2nd computer (laptop) and install it somewhere else, later on?

I currently have a desktop and laptop with my CS6 (student version). My boss has CC and told me I could install it on either my desktop or laptop to work from home and avoid having to save files from CC to CS6 version etc.
I think that's fine but I was wondering if I could uninstall my CS6, then if in the future I need to install it on another computer or back onto my laptop, can I do that? I still have the disks and everything.
Is there anything I should keep in mind?
I was also wondreing if it was safe to work on the design files directly from the company's dropbox rather than saving it to the computer?

Hi robledesigns,
With a single license you can activate the product on a maximum of two machines.
If you wish to use the program on a third machine you will have to deactivate it from one of the previous machines.
You need not uninstall the program though, you ca just deactivate the program & later on if you wish to use it again on the same machine, you can reactivate it.
Its not recommended to work on the project files saved on dropbox. It may result in undesirable response.
Save the files on the local drive & at the end of the day when you are done, transfer the files to dropbox.
Thanks

Uninstall CS6 applications

As part of the troubleshooting to install Creative Cloud apps, it was suggested by Adobe staff to uninstall CS6 applications, download CC apps, and re-download the CS6 apps. Although hesitant, I tried uninstalling a CS6 app I never use (Dreamweaver). Going to through the Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS6/uninstall Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 path, I started the uninstall. Adobe Application Manager and then became unresponsive. What is going on with these Adobe products that I can not install CC apps and now I can not uninstall CS6 apps? With all of these issues I am having, I am becoming very discouraged. I love using Adobe products, but this is getting to be a bit ridiculous. I am so fearful that if I am able to uninstall the CS6 apps, I will not be able to install CC apps or reinstall CS6 apps given the recent history of problems I have had.
Here is a list of things I have tried thus far. May not be in order since they are from memory and some have been tried multiple times.
Deleted folders/files in /tmp folder
Uninstall Adobe CC apps
Uninstall/Reinstall Adobe Desktop Manager
Run Cleaner tool
Rename suggested folders to old_OOBE and etc
Tried direct downloads of CC apps
Tried download from website, app downloads through manager, stalls at 42%; setup using 100% CPU
Tried terminating Adobe CEF Helper (all 4 of them) during setup, none will terminate.
Verified and repaired disk using disk utility
Verified and repaired permissions using disk utility
Deleted HEX folder containing Adobe CEF Helper files and tried install again. (did this on a whim since I tried just about everything else)
Cleaned up Adobe ID credentials
Tried uninstalling CS6 app (Dreamweaver) to test if I could reinstall CS6 apps. Failed
I have no idea what else I can do. Any ideas, suggestions, step-by-step guides, anything that will help me get CC apps on my MacBook Pro will be greatly appreciated.
Just some additional information. I was able to download/install LightRoom 5 and I did download/install 3 fonts. Sync works fine. Just can not install/uninstall any apps.

Bstouff I would recommend reviewing the installation log files to determine the exact error which is preventing the installation from occurring. You can find details on how to locate and interpret that installation log files at Creative Cloud Help / Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC. The process is the same for both CS6 and CC 2014 Adobe applications. You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover.

How to uninstall CS6 suite when moving to CC

So I downloaded all the CC apps and installed them and now I was to uninstall the CS6 apps to free some space on my HDD.
I had CS6 with creative cloud subscription, and not a disk version, so when I go in the application/utilities/adobe installers folder I don't have a uninstall cs6 icon but only icons to uninstall the software one by one, like uninstall photoshop, or uninstall after effects...
So my question is; has anyone in that situation found out a way to uninstall all the CS6 apps at once instead of doing it one by one.
Thanks.

Hi antoinefromparis,
If the CS6 installed on your machine is a part of subscription and not a part of Suite and has been installed using Application Manager then you will only have the option to uninstall it one by one. We can only uninstall CS6 at once if it has been instaled as a part of suite.

Can't uninstall CS5 or CS6.

Hi,
I'm having a problem when I try to uninstall CS5 and CS6 suites on my iMac.
I installed CS5 suite like six months ago, then, two weeks ago I installed CS6, but before I uninstalled some components from the CS5 suite. Just remains Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
I installed CS6 and all good, then, I had some problems with Encore CS6 so I found a post that says that I should use the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. I did use it, all good.
Today I'm having a second problem with links between Encore CS6 and Photoshop CS6, so I tought it could be because of Photoshop CS5 installed in the same Application folder. So I decided to uninstall that application, but, I can't.
I can't uninstall any Adobe application from my iMac, I click on any 'Uninstall X application' and just appears this error: "The alias "UNINSTALL X ADOBE APPLICATION" can't be opened because the original item can't be found." The uninstaller just dissapeared for both Suites and I need to uninstall them.
Can you help me community?
Where can I get the Uninstaller for Adobe applications?
Thanks.

Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall.

After installing CS6 can I uninstall CS5? If so, how do I do it?

After installing CS6 can I uninstall CS5? If so, how do I do it?

This comes up repeatedly, so you may want to do a forum search.
In a nutshell:
If you wanted to remove CS5, you should have done so before installing CS6. The CS5 uninstaller is very likely to mess with and destroy the CS6 installation.
Your best bet now is to use the CS6 uninstaller and uninstall CS6 first, then use the CS5 uninstaller to uninstall CS5, then run the Adobe CSClean script (downloadable from the Adobe site), and finally install CS6 again.
All adobe updaters are FULL installers and do not need a previously installed version to work. When they don't find a prior version installed, they will simply prompt you for the old serial number as well as the new one.
