Can't uninstall/reinstall Adobe Illustrator.

I can't uninstall/reinstall Adobe Illustrator.
Setup Error
Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance.
The requested operation is successful. Changes will not be effective until the system is rebooted.
OK
Please, help me

My appologies. It's been a while since ive used a support forum. Im using Windows XP Pro SP 3. 3GHz P4, 512 RAM
No, I can not see anything on the disc. I cant even see the discs for that matter. I have tried all three discs in both drives of my computer and it just shows the drive label. When I double click, it says "please insert a disc in to drive." But again, the discs work on othere computers, and other discs work in these drives.
I guess I should also say that I have tried the Add/Remove programs. On the CS2 Tryout I get the error stated in the original message. When I try to uninstall CS3 I get a brief popup flash on my screen and then it disappears. Nothing more happens.
Thanks

How can I export an Adobe illustrator CC .AI file to a DWG or DXF file suitable for SolidWorks?

Hi
Can anyone help?
How can I export an Adobe illustrator CC .AI file to a DWG or DXF file, without SolidWorks enlarging the file & converting every curve into hundreds of short little straight lines rather than a single continuous line/s.
I have made sure the file is ungrouped or has any compound paths or colours.
Opening it in Autocad 2010 still converts the DWG file into hundreds of short little straight lines!
The file is needed to laser cut out an aluminium shape using SolidWorks 2008 (Metal soft)?
Formats they can handle are:
DWG, DXF, IGES, IGA
There must be a way to export it without re-drawing the whole design in Soildworks again!!??
Can anyone help?

Not really. This is a limitation you will have to live with. Unless you are extremely careful, most paths will be converted to polyline segments by AI and in particular in AI CC this is somehow busted, so it happens more often. You might have much more luck opening a native AI file in DraftSight or a 2D CAD program like TurboCAD and exporting a DWG or 2D IGES/ STEP file from there. The sizing issue is a different matter, but without knowing what units you actualyl used, nobody can advise.

I have Windows 7, and I am being told that it does not support the newest Ai Illustrator, Are there any other alternate routes I can take to get adobe illustrator and photoshop on my computer? Perhaps an earlier version? Thanks! ~

houseofrest,
According to this page, you can use it for CC:
Adobe Illustrator CC for Mac, Windows, PC - Tech specs
Or you can buy CS6:

Problem with reinstalling Adobe Illustrator CS4 on new pc

Using a new PC with Windows 7. Upon reinstalling and inputting serial number, prompt appears..."We looked inthe default locations for qualifying products installed on this machine but none found. You may verify upgrade eligibility now by completing fields to the right." Choices given do not include Adobe Illustrator CS4. What next? I appreciate the help.

I have a disc in the same box that says CS3. I thought that was an older version. Should I try installing that disc first? It seems to have a different serial number. Thanks so much for your help. I appreciate it.

It is looking for the qualifying product which entitles you to use the Illustrator CS4 update. Did you have an older version of Illustrator which upgraded from?

Can Robohelp import native Adobe Illustrator file formats?

I am thinking about getting Robohelp, but I would like to know if Robohelp can import the native Adobe Illustrator (.ai) file format directly? I do not want to have convert my Illustrator files to .jpg, or any other file format that would lose any vector based graphics and/or graphics quality, before bringing the image into Robohelp. I am unfamiliar with both Illustrator and Robohelp so any information will be appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi there
In addition to what Colum offered, if this capability is important to you, you should consider submitting a Wish Form to alert Adobe that this is a need in the real world. For folks to import Illustrator files into RoboHelp. After all, isn't Illustrator an Adobe product?
Link to the Wish Form is in my sig.
Cheers... Rick

Having trouble watching live streams such as jtv and twitch.tv. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling adobe flash but I still get no stream just ads and pictures. Anyone have any suggestions?

Having trouble watching live streams such as jtv and twitch.tv. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling adobe flash but I still get no stream just ads and pictures. Anyone have any suggestions?

I just wanted to follow this up by saying that you were entirely correct in your diagnosis of the situation. My computer did have the faulty part you linked to. I brought my laptop in and specifically told them to run that test, had it fail and then argued with the person at the genius bar and the manager. Eventually they offered to have it sent out and have everything replaced for free of charge. They did so mainly because I had complained about graphical issues almost every other time I had come in with problems and no one ran the test. They should have caught this problem during my warranty, but they didn't, even though I mentioned the problem.
Anyhow, after having the part replaced, I haven't had my computer crash a single time since, or had many of the issues mentioned above. I've never had this experience before. Even brand new, I got occasional crashes. Hopefully this new trend continues.
I do find that web browsing is still incredibly slow. Web browsers just chug along at a slow pace, even though I have great internet speed. Maybe I'll try just deleting my web browsers and reinstalling them...
Anyhow, thank you for your help and knowledge Clinton.

Have you installed the Creative Cloud management app? Then used it to download the trial version of AI?

Will uninstall/reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 affect PDFs already created?

I am receiving a message that I must uninstall then reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to fix a problem. Operating system. Windows 7. Problem on laptop only. No problem on desktop. Error message says: "Licensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help. (148:3)" If I uninstall / reinstall will this affect the PDFs already created in My Docs? Is there another way?

The process with not affect the PDFs, but I would be concerned about registration and such. If you uninstall without deactivating, you may lose the second install option and have to call Adobe to reset. I would try a repair first and see if that helps. The repair can be done from Control Panel>Programs & Preferences (since you apparently cannot open Acrobat).
If you do uninstall, do the following before reinstalling: run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder. If Acrobat is part of a CS installation, you may need to check there (CS forum) for the proper way to reinstall.
If you have an upgrade, then be sure to have the SN of the previous product available.

Uninstall/reinstall adobe now won't let me see pdf in browser even after following firefox support guide

Because Adobe updater kept failing after a week, I uninstalled and reinstalled latest version (permission msi errors caused this). Now, even tho' profile shows acrobat and all adobe products enabled for FF, I can no longer view pdf docs in browser. Completed each step in the FF help guide for deleting files in profile, reinstalling adobe, etc., but it still doesn't work. Running Vista x64

The problem was NVIDIA ForceWare Network Access Manager. That came loaded on the Sun Server we are using for ACS. I found references to it in the even logs and not being a Windows Server person I had to grab someone who was and to be honest even they didn't get it. I started uninstalling any virus and security S/W one at the request of the TAC and removing NVIDIA Forceware did it.

Reinstalling Adobe Illustrator CS6 (Problem)

I used the trial version of Adobe Illustrator CS6 (mac), when it expired I erased the file. When I tried to reinstall it , it didn't work. I purchased the Adobe Creative Master Collection, and aI tried to install it again, but nothing happened. I need a solution because I just got the membership and I can not use the program. A window pops up and said the" the patch is not applicable for you. Please check updates on the help menu..."
I need help ASAP. Thank you

Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, try again.

Can't uninstall/reinstall Photoshop - startup.exe shuts down

I've tried every proposed solution I could find, including the regsvr32 jscript.dll thing, running in XP SP2 mode (I'm in Vista), running in admin mode, running at the C:\ root, and putting the install files in an .iso, mounting it in a disk emulator, but I just can't uninstall or reinstall the Photoshop CS3 demo I installed a few days ago (which won't work at all - something about a "catastrophic installation failure" or somesuch). In all my experience with hundreds of different pieces of software, I've never encountered such a complete and total failure to work - and this from Adobe no less... What's going on?

i am sorry i can not answer your question. but i posted a topic on a similar problem. i can not uninstal or reinstall the trial either, after something went wrong after a day...can anyone help us?

Firefox will not open, and I can't uninstall/reinstall because it says "close Firefox first"

After running Ccleaner today (and it asked me to "close Firefox or the internet cache will not be cleared", but Firefox was closed or so I think), I can't open Firefox at all; double-clicking the Firefox icon on the desktop does nothing, and no other way works. I thought of doing an uninstall/reinstall but it says "close Firefox first" - but for me it is truly closed.

See if you can Force Quit things holding CMD+Option+esc keys.

Cannot reinstall Adobe Illustrator CS4

Hello!
2007, I have bought Adobe Illustrator CS4 from your website.
I used it few months and then I put it aside. First, the cd kept asking for a serial number and the one I still had since 2007, did not work. One must buy a new serial number, i have heard. How is that even possible or fair in any way? SO THE 170 Euros were payed for a time-limited product? Is this milk!?
Anyhow, now the cd doesn't even "run". It keeps showing that "the Installer database is corrupt", after have clicked "run" and then "install".
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely R.A.A

Whatever you heard regarding having to buy a new serial number is false information - your license remains valid as long as you paid for it yourself. If your disc is not loading properly you can download the installation thru the page linked below.
