Can't uninstall dreamweamweaver cs4 beta

Question

I can't uninstall dreamweamweaver cs4 beta so i can't install
the full version. When i tell it to uninstall it doesn't do
anything even though the setup.exe process is running. I tried
manually deleting the program files but there's still traces of it
because when I try installing the new version it says i have to
uninstall the Beta. What can i do?

We do that for production machines. What Adobe suites do to
Window's
registry is not very good (similar problems exist with Mac's
application
cache). Aside from bloat, there is no logical cleanup so you
invariably wind
up with niggling problems such as the wrong version of
Fireworks popping up
at the wrong time - or no version popping up at all. Since
our gallery
products rely on inter-application communications, this is a
nuisance. There
are other issues, but this one hits home (as well as our
customers), hence
tech notes like this:

We also keep "dirty" machines on which are installed MX2004,
8, CS3, and now
CS4. Those are fun, but it helps in developing fixes for our
customers.
