Can't uninstall OR install lightroom

Hi -
Okay, I fixed my problems with all my other software by wiping my drive and starting over. BUT, lightroom started an update, quit and now, even though I've uninstalled it, removed it as bvest I can, AAM still thinks I have it and won't upgrade it either?
Suggestions?

Hi -
Sorry I left out so much info, I was late for school and wasn't thinking right.
I've got a Win 7-64 with a fresh load. It seems that the upgrade ver of Win 7 doesn't like it if your XP-Pro partition goes south. Yes, I went through the Win Uninstaller, which removed it from the list of installed programs but didn't seem to touch the program folder. After trying to get it to reload and not getting anywhere, I deleted all the Lightroom stuff I could find, short of scanning the registry, which is next. The reload DID solve a sticky problem I was having with Premiere Pro and Dreamweaver, both of which have worked flawlessly for months until my XP got hosed.
Thanks so much for your help, I can't tell you what lifesavers you guys are!

Can I Uninstall/Re-install Lightroom?

Just a few days ago I bought a Macbook Pro and installed Lightroom onto it. However, the computer has been acting up and doing strange things and so I want to exchange it for a new one. Obviously, before I send it back I will have to uninstall Lightroom. My question is, will I be able to re-install Lightroom on my new Macbook since I uninstalled it on the one I sent back, or will I have to purchase the software again? If I can uninstall it on my old one and re-install it on the new one they send me, how do I do that correctly? Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!!
~Alexis

You can uninstall and reinstall Lightroom as often as you like on whichever computers you like.
The license restricts you to two "live" activations at any one time.
There is no formal deactivate step. Just uninstall on the old computer, reinstall on the new one.

Hi,
Are you logged in as Administrator user?
If yes, lower the UAC notifications as suggested in this tutorial & try again.
Else,
Run this MS Fixit, restart system and try again.
Another else, try this useful application for uninstalling the program.

Can I uninstall and install without loosing play lists

Can I uninstall and install without loosing play lists

Your iTunes folder (normally under ~/Music/iTunes) contains files that tell iTunes what you have in your library, playlists, genres, ...These database files have extensions of .itl and .xml. Deeper in the iTunes folder you have the actual media (movies, songs, tv shows).
Uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling iTunes should not impact your iTunes library. It will change iTunes settings like window size, if you have the sidebar turned on, and the like. I do recommend you have a backup of your iTunes folder but at least save copies of your .itl and .xml files.
Your question is a bit cryptic so I'm guessing at your actual question. Good luck.

Can't uninstall or install any Blackberry software?

I just loaded in my disk for the Blackberry User Tools, and therefore it installed the Desktop Manager, Device Manager and the Media Manager. Since this, I uninstalled Roxio Media because I didn't want the program, and now nothing works.
When I try to open Device Manager, nothing happens. My Blackberry Media Manager has gone completely, and I cannot uninstall the Blackberry Desktop Software 5.0.1 ... I really want to get rid of it and install a new version because it isn't working.
I tried using the User Tools disk, and it's not recognised anymore and the 'run.exe' isn't coming up like it did before. I can't uninstall the software due to an error 1500 (An install is taking place, wait for this to finish before changing other programs). I'm not installing anything!
I've tried to install new software, but I get the same error message and am stuck with lots of software that currently isn't working. Please help me.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
I can't specifically tell what you've tried and not tried, so I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
5) Install DTM to your PC
6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
Hopefully that will get things going again.
Good luck and let us know!

Please help -can't uninstall or install iTunes - Error code 2330

I tried to open up iTunes 9.1.1 today and got a message that windows was trying to configure iTunes. Midway through, i got an error message: "An error occurred while attempting to create directory: C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\apple computer\iTunes\SC info.
So i then tried to download the new version of iTunes (9.2), and got a message that "the installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with the package. The error code is 2330."
Then I followed the trouble shooting steps on the support site - deleted the Temp folder and then tried to uninstall 9.1.1. I received the same 2330 error message.
Doing a search of error 2330 on this forum, I saw people recommending running a Chkdsk which I did. This repaired some errors, but it didn't help with the installation, I got the same error message.
I have tried to call Apple support but apparently they don't support iTunes unless you're running it on a MAC. I'm upset and frustrated and at my wits end. I know next to nothing about computers, which doesn't help ;o) I'd be grateful for any suggestions...

Many thanks.
Okay, either the SCInfo directory (or the iTunes directory above it) has gotten damaged in some way. iTunes is detecting that when you try to launch it, and it is trying to do a repair install in order to try to repair the damage. But the damage in your case is enough to stop the repair install from going through. The same damage will be stuffing up the attempts to uninstall/reinstall/update iTunes.
There's an alternate strategy we can try to get around this in cases where chkdsk can't fix the damage. But first we're going to have to adjust some view settings on the PC, because your damage is lurking down in directories that are hidden by default on Windows XP systems.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
5. Click OK.
Now we'll see to the file.
In My Computer, open your C drive.
Open the "Documents and Settings" folder.
Open the "All users" folder.
Open the "Application Data" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
Rename the "iTunes" folder "iTunesOLD".
Restart the PC. Now try launching iTunes again. Does the repair install go through properly this time?
(If the iTunes Setup Assistant runs, don't add files to your library. Otherwise you may end up with a lot of duplicates in your library.)
If you get iTunes launching again, check to see if any purchased music is still playing, and if any iPods/iPhones/AppleTVs etc are connecting properly. (We've forced iTunes to rebuild configuartion files and an iPodDevices.xml that affect some iTunes DRM/authorisation-related and device-connection-related machinery. So I reckon it's possible you might at least need to reauthorise some songs or apps or games after iTunes launches again.)

Can't uninstall or install itunes.

Help!!
When I try to install the new version of itunes it tells me I need to delete the old verson first.
When I try to uninstall it I get the error message
The feature you are trying to use in on a network resource that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes64.msi" in the box below.
I have searched the internet for solutions but I can't find it. I can't find the windows utility that I have seen online.
Please help!!

I am currently having a very similar problem. I am running Windows Vista and I have iTunes installed on a WD hard drive. When I open up iTunes I get a message saying "The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly." It then gives me the option to repair. After selecting repair it says that I need to reinstall iTunes. From here I get the same story: I cannot install or uninstall without getting a message "The folder path 'Program Files' contains an invalid character.

Can't uninstall or install iTunes due to 9.1.1 upgrade version

Since the upgrade of 9.1.1 version of iTunes it just doesn't work at all, I can't neither install nor uninstall, I've already tried everything in this Forum but nothing seems to work.
When I try to install all over again the message "The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory C:\program files\common files\Apple\CoreFP The installation can't continue. Log on as administrator or contact your system administrator" appears, but I am the administrator ans still have my access denied! I've followed a tutorial posted as an answer to a topic here but it didn't work (this was the link it lead me http://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-7/windows-7-how-to-delete-files-protected-by-tru stedinstaller/ )
I can't install, uninstall, remove the folder with everything, have access to CoreFP folder, open iTunes and it's all just driving me crazy!
A month ago I had same problem with the AppleSyncNotifier and its program called Core Foundation or something like that , but a few days later the warning disappeared and I though it was ok.
Please someone give me a light and help me!!

Can't uninstall or install apps from CC

Let's see, I'm going crazy here.
I uninstalled Photoshop CC, Bridge and Premiere via Control Panel some days ago. Today I opened Creative Cloud and I see that the apps are still marked as installed. So I tried to uninstall them from CC. I can't. They're marked as installed but the programs are obviously not there so I get an error, but they don't disappear from the list. I also have a pending update for PS CC and that doesn't work either. Uninstalled Creative Cloud also and ran the Cleaner. Installed CC again. Everything is still the same. When trying to uninstall, the error log doesn't say anything. When trying to update Photoshop I get the famous "Camera Raw etc" error. Really don't know what to do anymore. Windows 7, 64bits.
Regards.

So, don't know what I did but now all apps show as updated without being really there. I see that's a known problem but I'm not finding any luck with the solutions here: CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed
And still getting this error if I try to update PS:
ERROR: DW051: Dependency of session payload {3E7FC757-D497-4C89-A935-7D38E2164E85} Shared Technology Photoshop Camera Raw 8 8.0 has changed.
There must be some locations that I can look for files and delete them, because Cleaner is not solving the issue and the programs don't appear on the Control Panel uninstaller anymore since I deleted them.
Help, please, this is killing my soul.
Thanks.

Acrobat shows as "up to date" on a fresh Yosemite install. Can't uninstall or install Acrobat.

Yesterday I installed Yosemite on a brand new MacBook Pro. Today I installed Adobe CC. When the CC application launched for the first time it showed Acrobat XI Pro as being installed and "up to date".
I did NOT install Acrobat, but I want to. The problem is, I cannot uninstall it, since it isn't actually installed!
Other CC apps seem to install correctly.
Steps I have tried to remedy the problem are:
- Restart the computer
- Run the Adobe cleaner tool and reinstall Adobe CC
- Delete AAMUpdater, AAMUpdaterInventory and OOBE and reinstall Adobe CC
I know that there are many reported compatibility problems between Acrobat and OS X Yosemite, but I hope it is actually possible to install Acrobat on Yosemite? Any tips?

Adobe support resolved this for me. I had to unplug all external hard drives, and once that was done ACC no longer detected Acrobat as being installed.
At the time the problem presented I was plugged into an old MacBook, which was in "target disk mode" - in other words, it was being treated as an external hard drive. I guess ACC detected an Acrobat install on that hard drive.
After unplugging the external drive, and signing out and back in to ACC everything worked smoothly.
