Cannot reinstall Compressor

I am running the Final Cut HD bundle and have just upgrade all of it to Final Cut Pro Studio with the upgrade package. I ran into the compressor "cannot connect to background processes," error in the new version of compressor right off the bat so I dumped everything I could before I had to try and reinstall it. Finally, I had to uninstall compressor.
Problem:
Now when I try and reinstall compressor from the Final Cut Studio DVD custom install menu, it will go through the install process, but compressor is not installed. Do I need to reinstall compressor from the previous bundle, then install the update from the update DVD? I ask because the old bundle disks are far away at the moment.

do a search for uninstall compressor. You may have receipts of updates. Follow David Slater's advice.

I installed Adobe CC months ago. uninstalled it.. said "with errors" now I cannot reinstall Adobe CC... can anyone tell me what happened so that my money doesn't go to waste?

Uninstalll error. Cannot reinstall. what happened here and how do I fix this?

No one can tell you anything about what happened until you give complete details.
Maybe someone could help you fix your issue.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

App hung on "waiting"; during update, I lost my wifi connection; now cannot delete to reinstall (no X), syc does not help; itunes store says it is installed and I cannot reinstall; deleting from itunes and synching does not remove "hung app"; HELP

App hung on "waiting"; during update, I lost my wifi connection and the app hung; now cannot delete to reinstall (no X), synching does not help; itunes app store says it is installed, therefore I cannot reinstall; deleting the app from itunes and synching does not reinstall the app on the ipod; the app developers have not helped and told me to check with Apple (which I am doing, since I am past my 90 day tech support). Hoping someone can help with this hung "waiting' app problem.

- First try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next download the app on the computer and try to sync.
- Last, restore from backup.

You don't need to have Lightroom 3 and 4 installed on your computer to install Lightroom 5. Just install Lightroom 5 and input your serial number for 3 in the previous version box and your serial number for 5 in the upgrade box.

Cannot reinstall PS5 on the same PC

Last week I have reinstalled my PC with Win7 Ultimate (clean install)
As I was having some problems after installing PS5 as well, I uninstalled it from Programs and Features to reinstall it.
Now I cannot reinstall it any more.
I checked with the 'Advisor' and it keeps saying I should first uninstall CS4 or CS5 though I never had CS4 and Photoshop has been uninstalled and the PC rebooted.
I do still have a LR3.6 installation, though, which I finally got working properly after trying twice as well and do not want to uninstall that.
The error I get:
Can somebody please advise?
Thanks and grts

Hi kglad,
No, the problem is not solved at all...
Sorry if I sounded a bit grumpy but this thing is really giving my nerves a workout.
And - I did not expect a crash either... I have uninstalled and reinstalled my previous version CS2 several times under other Windows versions, among others on a Vista laptop to see if it would be ok - no problem at all. Same with PS5. The only differece now is that my Win7 is 64 bits and I start wondering if that is not the problem... PS installed the 64 bits too as far as I could see but something has gone awfully wrong...
Windows is fine now and everything in and around it working fine too as long as I don't go anywhere near PS. After the last repair of Windows mentioned here I tried the Clear Tool again - and all went down again... Another repair...
At the moment I am giving myself a break from it all but to me PS and LR are the most important things on the PC. All else I could do from my laptop as well... I am playing with the idea that reinstalling Win7 all over again will be the only way to get rid of it and reinstall (and see if it goes any better)... but well - all that work all over again? Not an attractive idea...
If you have any more ideas what I could try, I'm open to suggestions...
An addition on tuesday:
Anybody any idea where I can download the trial version of Photoshop CS5?
Wherever I look, it starts saying CS5 and then I end up on a site with CS6....

Cannot Reinstall Acrobat Pro 7.0

I have CS2. I uninstalled Acrobat Pro 7.0. Now I cannot reinstall it from the original software. Install runs but does not install anything, nor does it show any error messages. I have XP SP3 and IE8. I have Reader 9.1.2 The other componens of CS2 work fine. Any help?

Adobe recommends that you do not have Acrobat and Acrobat Reader installed on the same system. The programs have files that each products installs in the same folders that can cause all kinds of problems such as yours. I strongly suggest you remove Acrobat Reader using the Windows Install Cleanup Utility. Then reinstall Acrobat Pro. You still will be able to view PDF files in your browser with Acrobat itself without Reader being installed.
Good luck.

After Dell uninstalled my Adobe Premiere Elements 9 I cannot reinstall it nor any other Adobe

I recently ran into a problem with my Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and in the course of trying to reinstall a missing MSVCRT.dll file they uninstalled my Adobe Premiere Elements 9. Now I cannot reinstall it. I keep getting an unable to contact the Windows Installer Service message AND a message that says it cannot install an MSXML.dll file. I have tried everything I know, they tried everything they know, are trying to tell me I need to do a complete reinstall of my system. Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on an Inspiron 2320. I have two separate program CD's for Adobe Elements programs and they both are unrelated disk. Neither one will install the program, they both get the same error. I had the program on a backup harddrive, I copied it and I can get the basic program to work by using the .exe file but I cannot get the addition items that originally came on a 2nd disk to install, no matter what I do. Apparently, I cannot install anything else Adobe either. AIR will not install, Adobe Premiere Elements 11 trial will not install. For that matter, I don't think the Adobe installer is installing. Dell keeps saying to talk to Adobe. Ha! If anyone can figure out what is wrong that adobe stuff wont install let me know. Or where I can get this MSCML.dll file? How to get it into the computer? I have already had to do 4 complete reinstalls on this computer since I bought it in June and I am not looking forward to having to do it yet again. Also, when I do try to install it, it install the entire program then gets to the end, gives me the error message (and you can find the files in the program files) but when you click OK or cancel the cannot instal MSXML file message, then it automatically uninstalls everything it installed and there seems to be no way to stop it.

Well, whatever Dell tech handled this, has no clue. They ruined your Windows Installer on a systemic level. Try to download the Microsoft Installer standalone package from the MS web site or let Windows Update update e.g. Internet Explorer. If that doesn't work, I'm afraid only reinstalling Windows from scratch will fix things...

I uninstalled Adobe Air and Adobe Reader and now I cannot reinstall them on the Adobe web site. I go thru the steps on Adobe site and never get a popup to RUN any programs.

I uninstalled Adobe Air and Adobe Reader and now I cannot reinstall them on the Adobe web site. I go thru the steps on Adobe site and never get a popup to RUN any programs.

Then there is something seriously wrong with either your
browser
Windows
Internet connection
I have just downloaded that installer (on Windows 7, using Pale Moon), and the download completed within less than 10 seconds. And I am some 10,000km away from the Adobe download servers.
Can you try a different browser?
Can you download anything to your computer, e.g. from Microsoft?

Cannot reinstall CS3 on Windows 7 after Acrobat update

I, like so many others, cannot reinstall CS3 on Windows 7. CS3 stopped working after I updated Acrobat (which I now wish I hadn't done), it was working fine for months previously. I got the 'needs uninstall/reinstall' error.
I am reinstalling from files saved on my computer, not DVD. I tried every solution I could find online (the cleanscript, deactivating firewall, deactivating UAC, uninstalling google desktop, registering jscript.dll) Doing a clean Windows reinstall is not an option I'm willing to try. I tried chatting with customer service, who couldn't help me and referred me to the phone technical support. I tried that and the tech guy told me CS3 is no longer supported, so he couldn't help me, unless of course I wanted to pay a $50 fee). I can get Acrobat Pro and shared components to install, but all other components fail.
Is it just me, or is it mightily suspicious that this happens to so many other people? I'm willing to bet that Adobe engineers their updates to 'fail' older versions figuring we'll eventually give up trying to fix it and eventually just upgrade. Adobe- you sold me a license with no expiration date. Why not eliminate all the subterfuge and start selling 5yr licenses?

This just happened to me tonight.   Acrobat requested an update. I said YES, update now. And now my CS3 Web Premium doesn't work. I should have known.
I've tried everything. Adobe cleaners, licence tools, renaming folders (flex_something folder), resetting folder permissions (Adobe PCD), start services > flex_something, etc.   Can't get anything to work.
Something like this happens about every 6 months or so. Takes me 3 days to get it running again. Man, I'm exhausted trying to keep this software running.
What gives?   Any advise?
Runnning: Windows 7 64bit, Web Premium CS3
Error: 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.
