Can't Uninstall Player Versions 5, 6,7,8

I shut down all applications except for Norton GoBack and
Pure Network's Port Magic, and ran uninstall_flash_player.exe
against my XP system, yet multiple Macromedia Flash Players from
version 5 through 8 remain. I'm doing something wrong, but don't
know what. I hesitate manually changing the registry. Here's a
portion of the report from Secunia Software Inspector --
ZoneAlarm 6.x 6.5.737.000
Macromedia Flash Player 7.x 7.0.19.0
Sun Java JRE 1.5.x / 5.x 5.0.90.3

Tojo_321, following advice I read in another post, I just
went in and directly deleted the old reader versions. This did not
cause me any problems. Suggest backup first. Cheers!

I want to upgrade to CS6. Can I uninstall previous versions so I don't accumulate PS apps

I want to upgrade to CS6. Can I uninstall previous versions so I don't accumulate PS apps

Yes, you do not need to have any previous versions installed in order to install a newer version/upgrade.

Can't uninstall older version, can't install newer version

I bought The Wiz off iTunes, and it stopped about nidway through it and told me there was an error. So I contacted a tec dude, and he told me to download a newer version of Quicktime. So I tried, and it told me that a newer version as installed and the installation process could not be finished. So then I tried to uninstall the version of Quicktime I had, and it said the same thing, that I could not get it uninstalled until the newer version of Quicktime was uninstalled. I know my way around my computer very well, and there is only one version of Quicktime installed on it, which is 7.5.5. I tried downloading a newer version, 7.6.2, but it still gave me the same message.
Until this is fixed I can't download anything off iTunes and it's driving me crazy. Any ideas?

It's gotta be in here

Can I uninstall previous versions of Adobe Apps in my creative cloud and still use the current 2014 versions of the same apps.

I want to stream line the amount of applications on my MAC. I currently have the CS6, CC, and CC2014 version of the Adobe applications. Can I uninstall the CS6 and CC versions and still run the CC2014 version without any issues?

Jim Fournier yes you can uninstall the previous versions. Please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html for additional details.

Installed skype 7.6 but can't uninstall old version.

Hello, I recently upgraded to 7.6 as advised and it works fine. However, the old version is still installed and continues to ring and ring when I connect on the new version.I cannot find the old version on my programmes list to uninstall it. What has happened here?

downloaded quicktime standalone version, no luck there, says it can't uninstall the old version, error 1714, then it says fatal error -1603 during installation.
let's first try this technique to see if we can get past the 1714.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next use the QuickTime component of the complete uninstall instructions in the following document as a guide to a manual removal of leftover QuickTime program files and folders.
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try another careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?

I can't uninstall Firefox version 11 from my MAC, nor can I upgrade to a more recent version of Firefox.

I believe that I have a corrupted version of Firefox. I have followed the procedures both for removal and for upgrade that are posted in the support forums, and neither are effective for me.
I do not have a conventional Firefox icon on my screen, rather I have a grey question mark. When I attempt to deposit that question mark icon in my wastebasket, it just bounces back out.
When I have tried to upgrade to a more recent version of Firefox (and I've been trying to upgrade with each new iteration of Firefox from version 12 to the current version 32), I receive an error message that I can run only one version of Firefox, and the upgraded version is rejected in favor of version 11.
Additionally, Firefox version 11 blocks me from adding any other programs onto my Mac. I want to get rid of version 11. How can I do it?

Dear ideato--Thank you for your suggestion. While I was able to drag a shadow of the Firefox icon from the applications folder to the dock and drop it into the wastebasket, the icon remains in the applications folder and Firefox version 11 is still on my computer blocking every attempt to add a program or to upgrade to the current version of Firefox. The question mark is still on the dock, too. Regards--DavidK126

Can i uninstall old versions of adobe software?

I have the latest creative cloud programs installed in my computer, but I see that I also have all of my adobe programs from CS4 on. I want to uninstall and free up space in my computer. Can I uninstall all of these CS programs? would it uninstall the fonts that might be attached to them?

Moved to Creative Suite Forum.

HT1923 Can not uninstall old version because the file it is looking for is not found on windows 8.1

First off I want to start that I am an IT professional, so not a dumb PC user.
I am running Windows 8.1. I have been running Itunes for a long time and when the auto-updater prompted me for an update, I used that to update. Aparently something happened during one of the updates and Windows thinks I have v 11.1.1.1 installed as well as the newest version. I discovered this when I connected my Ipod recently (It was a few months since my last sync) and it wasn't be recognized by Itunes. Windows discovered it as a device but Itunes wouldn't see it. I went to the forums/support and tried the trouble shooting steps to no avail. I finally did the normal "uninstall/reinstall" process and that is when I saw the two entries in the programs list in windows. I uninstalled the current version. When I tried to reinstall it would error out with "can not find the path to iTunes64.msi". I had a few of them in the path but they were for newer versions, not the 11.1.1.1. Then I looked around and saw the directory tree for Itunes were still there.
I tried to edit the registry in the local machine->uninstall hive but itunes was not on the list there because I went through every entry. They all had the names from programs on the list but Itunes wasn't there. I uninstalled everything else as per the Itunes support instructions (Quicktime/Bonquor/Etc) and still it didn't work. I deleted the Itunes directory manually and then ran CC cleaner to a few times to clean out all the broken registry entries. After that was done I still couldn't install Itunes because it detected the program from the list in windows that said it was installed (v 11.1.1.1). I restored the directory from my recycle bin, launched the exe directly and it worked and I was able to detect/sync my Ipod. BUT the system doesn't think I have it installed so I have to manually kick it off from the exe itself.
I want to fix this. I would think it would be to edit something, registry I assume, that populates that installed program list and then the newest installer should run fine. I am stuck so I am looking for help. Any suggestions/ideas or anything?
Thank you in advance.

I can't seem to find a way to delete this...SO I unmarked it as a question.
I solved the problem, I aparently missed the program ID number when I searched. I found it and then went through the registry and removed the other references to that ID. Once I did that I was able to install the new Itunes without incident. In the process it also cleaned up the old entry on my programs/features list.
Even though I checked the registery 2x trying to clean up references to Itunes, the search and my manual look through the Uninstall entries I missed it. Sorry to waste anyone's time.

Can't uninstall old version of iTunes on Windows Vista

I have been trying to install updates for iTunes for a long time now (pretty much since update 7) and have not been able to do so because once the install occurs I'm that there is a resource network unavailable. I'm them prompted to change the file path to something that contains "iTunes.msi". I do that and it doesn't work. When I search my computer for the "iTunes.msi" file it can't find it but during the download process the option is given to me when I browse, but it still doesn't work.
I have tried a manual download of iTunes. I have tried to uninstall iTunes from my Control Panel and get the same response as above.
This issue is only affecting iTunes. Other Apple programs have been able to update.
Help.
Thanks.

Try using Microsoft's Fix it solution at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall. Use it to uninstall iTunes. It bypasses this not uncommon problem. When the solution finishes, the selected program will be uninstalled. It can take several minutes and I have seen as much as half an hour.
After it uninstalls iTunes you should be able to install the new version.

Can't uninstall CC versions after upgrading to CC 2014

I've upgraded to CC 2014 a while ago and noticed that old versions are still installed. Well this is not the most convenient way, I can understand why, but the option to overwrite old version would be a good idea.
Anyway, I decided to unistall older versions myself, so I went to "Add or remove programs" in Windows 7 and find out that they are not there. I use Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, Indesign CC, Premiere Pro CC & After Efects and none of them is on the uninstall list and none of them has an unistall file in the folder.
I even tried IObit Uninstaller, but no luck either.
They all appear on CC App though and I don't want to just delete their folders.
Any ideas how can I remove them?

Thanks for the reply, but the article you suggested doesn't show any other method of uninstalation than using "Add or remove programs".
As I written in my question the problem is - programs are not listed in the "Add or remove programs" list, they are hover installed and listed in the Creative Cloud App.

Can I uninstall CC versions of software now that I've upgraded to CC2014?

In the past week I've updated several of my Adobe CC products (DW, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) to the CC 2014 versions. Can I/should I uninstall the original CC versions?
I'm running Mac OSX v10.9.3 if that has any bearing.
Thanks!

Can you tell me where you read this? I'm curious as to why the new installment doesn't automatically remove the old versions.

Can't Uninstall Trial Version of CS3

When I attempt to uninstall the trial version of CS3 the program tells me that I must deactivate the program first before continuing with the installation. The problem is that the deactivation button is grayed out. What can I do?

Wait. It can take several minutes after starting a program for the
deactivation menu item to become available.
