Can't uninstall, install OR repair PC Suite!

Hi, i am running Windows XP Pro SP3 and most recently had PC Suite 7.1.58 installed.
There was a bad uninstall and now, even after using PC Suite Cleaner, i cannot get the old PC Suite off of the computer, so i cannot reinstall it. i have tried manually deleting all PC Suite entries in the registry but it does not seem to be working. Any ideas - or, does anyone have the MSI file available for v7.1.58 available along with the correct directory to deposit it in?
Thanks,
matthew

Go to Solution.

Playing within the registry of XP can be quite dangerous. Have you tried rebooting your computer? Try to install pc suite again after a reboot.
If not, open the list of installed programs and find pc suite (if it's still shown in there of course) and uninstall it. I guess it will come with a message that it might already be uninstalled but hopefully it will remove the entry there if there is one no matter what error message pops up.
Then install ccleaner and remove all trash and run a registry scan on it. Hopefully this would remove all corrupted or invalid entries and maybe fix it. It's at least a safer way to remove dead ends in the registry than doing it your self.
Reboot the computer and try to install the pc suite again.

I can't uninstall/install FireFox due to a pop-up that says: Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox..."

This problem arose when I attempted to upgrade my existing FireFox browser to the new FireFox 7. I clicked through the auto-update, but didn't think that anything changed, as the browser didn't look like the image in the feature explanation image I was viewing. I then tried to download Firefox 7, and when I tried to instal it, this process began.
I can't uninstall/install FireFox due to a pop-up that says: Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox..." When restarted and attempted again, the same pop up appears and I am stuck in an infinite loop.
I cannot locate the Mozilla file within my program files to try and delete cantankerous upgrade components, which seems to resolve this issue for many people. See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/796566
I also tried completely deleting Firefox, which didn't work either-- I ended up doing a system restore, only to be met with the same infinite loop.
Now, when I click on the Mozilla icon, nothing happens. No window opens, no error message, nothing.
Why can't I find the Mozilla folder in my Programs File but can see it in Control Panel "Add or Remove Programs" (though I can't uninstal due to infinite loop)?

It is probably because you are not properly closing Firefox. Restarting your system would make sure that Firefox had terminated, but you do not have to do that.
To properly close Firefox on Windows systems, use
:File > Exit or "Firefox:" button > Exit
When you get the message "Firefox is already running" it is too late, and you must force termination of Firefox through the Windows Task Manager before restarting Firefox. Windows 7 has a keyboard shortcut to save you a step "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" then on "Processes" tab, select "firefox.exe" and use the "End Process" button. More thorough would be to right-click on the "firefox.exec" and choose "End Process Tree".
You would find firefox.exe in a Mozilla folder in your program files, but y0u would not want to delete it there, you would need to use the Control Panel which you have already identified and do it from there -- but generally you would not need to do that, and there is nothing in what you have posted to indicate that you should. But if you did do that, then don't let the install start Firefox for you as you would want to use you existing desktop icon or method of starting Firefox, and should decline having Firefox install start Firefox for you. When the install starts then invoke Firefox in your normal manner. This should eliminate problems of creating a new profile rather than using your old profile.

Can't Uninstall/Install Quicktime...

Basically, I want to uninstall my old version of quicktime. I basically corrupted it (I believe) because it won't open. When I remove the app from my mac, it's no longer there. However, whenever I'm trying to re-install using the official Quicktime 7.6.4 on apple.com - it won't let me. It gives me an error message saying:
"Quicktime can't be installed on this disc. This version of Quicktime 7 can't be installed on the disc because Quicktime X is already present. Please us Software update to install the appropriate version of QuickTime for your mac".
The problem is, when I go to my software update..it doesn't detect that it needs to be updated. So..how am I supposed to fix it? And when I try to open movie files, Quick time isn't even detected as an option (even if I browse). As far as my knowledge..Quicktime is NO LONGER on my mac..yet it insists that it is. I just want to start fresh, I want to be able to re-install it. But it won't let me.
Anyone have any advice for this maddening problem? And just a little more info - (the way i corrupted the file in the first place) - I was trying to install Quicktime Pro 7 and it kept claiming my mac had the newest version. So I removed quicktime completely, and it kept telling me that quicktime (newer version was on my mac, even tho I removed it, even from the Library section) - then I used the Leopard boot up, and used the optional install..and now the file showed back up, but it doesn't have the quicktime logo, (has the application logo) - and it's non responsive. So I deleted that too...but as I said, when I try to install it again from Apple.com..it's a no go.

How can I re-install my Adobe Creative Suite 6? Installation was idle when installing AdobeHelp

I've problem re-install my Creative Suite 6 Master Collection for almost all applications. Installation was idle/stop when installing AdobeHelp, I've already tried to let the installation process ran for almost 24 hours, but it's still idle, so I cancelled the installation.
I've tried several times, and the result is still the same. It's idle when installing Adobehelp
And there is no feature/option in the installation menu to not installed Adobehelp.
Before re-install, I've used AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool, because I can't installed adobe illustration that I've not installed yet before and the installation crashed.
So I follow the instruction till I get suggestion to download AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool. and I ran it and choose all cleaning.
Now I still have problem to re-install my Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection.

System information:
Laptop Dell Vostro 14", Intel Pentium i5, Ram 4GB
OS Windows 7 Home Basic
Is that enough? do you need more information?
what kind of information?

Are you certain about that? There are many alternatives to Office today. Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free)
OpenOffice (completely free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). All of these options allow you to open, edit, and save Word-formatted documents and spreadsheets. I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

Help! Can't uninstall or reinstall Adobe Creative Suite 3

I previously had 2 drives and removed one of them. The one i removed had my CS3 files and i was planning to uninstall all components and reinstall CS3 onto my remaining drive. However, when i choose to remove the components it says "Some problems occurred while components were being removed. Please see below." and then there is a summary of all the components with each saying "Component removal failed". When i click "install or reinstall" a script error comes up.
I have absolutely no idea how to fix and if you can't already tell, i'm not exactly good with this stuff.
Please help!

You should use the CS3Clean Script:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
Run it at level 2 until all components are removed, and then reinstall the applications.

Lost MixRadio+ - can't uninstall/install

Hi,
I have Lumia 630 with MixRadio+ subscription. I wanted to free up some space in the phone memory by moving MixRadio+ app to the SD card. Something went wrong and now the application has disappeared from the phone. It's no longer listed among the applications. However, when I try to reinstall it in the Store, the phone tells me that it's already installed. In other words I'm stuck: I can't access the application any longer in my phone (no chance for uninstalling it), nor can I reinstall it.
Any ideas how to proceed?
Thanks,
HeliH

Can't uninstall, modify, or repair Desktop Manager Software...Help Before I get Fired!

PLEASE HEEELLLPPPP BEFORE I GO CRAZY!!! I'm actually trying to uninstall Desktop Manager 4.5 and no matter what I do, I can't seem to get the software to uninstall because, I suspect, it was originally extracted to a Temp folder that was deleted. Now, I can't use the typical Add/Remove Programs to remove, repair or modify DM becuase I get various errors from can't find the Blackberry Desktop Manager.msi file to error 1304 (or 1317 or 2330) saying Error getting file attributes c:\program files\research in motion\isti connectors\isgroupwise6.5x\1033 Get Last Error:23. I even tried to just delete the Research in Motion folder and that didn't even work because it had some problem with the .ico file! When I tried to navigate to the 1033 folder a message saying that the file folder needed to be formatted which in turn tries to format my WHOLE C: DRIVE! This issue is affecting my career actually. I have to convert my personal BIS BB to a corporate liable BES BB and have to use the corporate approved DM version 4.3 and since I can't get rid of 4.5 this could be a REAL PROBLEM WITH MY EMPLOYER!!! Any ideas would be so appreciated you don't even know!

Based on your error messages it sounds like you might have a hard drive that is failing.
I would tend to agree. You might want to run a chkdsk c: /f on the drive in an attempt to at least get things semi stable. If you sill cannot uninstall the app, you can attempt to reinstall it again to allow it to repopulate the areas where there were problems (assuming it will allow you to reinstall or repair by running the installer). If that works then you can attempt to uninstall it.
From the urgency in your post I'm under the impression you are looking for things to try, I would probably try this as a last resort step.
If everything works successfully, get a new drive and rebuilld. disk problems seem to have a tendency to return at the worst time.

I can't uninstall Quicktime so I can't uninstall/install iTunes!

I am trying to install the new version of iTunes. When I do, I get an error saying "A newer version of Quicktime is already installed. Cannot install Quicktime... blah blah blah."
Sounds simple right, I just uninstall said version and viola! It all works! Wrong.
I tried to UNinstall Quicktime and I got the EXACT same error. Uncool. Please help.

Go here and get the uninstaller : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Make sure iTunes isn't open and run it.
Then try again with a fresh download.

With CS4 installed already, can I uninstall InDesignCS3 without affecting the CS4 suite?

With CS4 installed already, can I uninstall InDesignCS3 without affecting the CS4 suite?
InDesignCS3 was downloaded from the internet. CS4 suite was installed from CDs. Both are currently on my computer. How can I uninstall InDesignCS3?

Just use the add/remove programs feature in the control panel, but I would strongly suggest that you don't do this. If you ever need to supply a CS3 file you'll be sorry you uninstalled it.

My iMac crashed and once I recovered it I re-installed all my software including my Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard (DVD) but Photoshop simply won't install after 3 or 4 attempts. After the lengthy installation process I get a huge error message on Photoshop which I am pasting below. How can I finally install Photoshop? All my other programs are working. Help is much appreciated. Many thanks.
