Cannot uninstall old CS3

I try to download Illustrator from the cloud, but I get an error msg that says CS3 needs to be closed. There are no uninstall buttons.

Hi Luxabilly,
There might be some files running in the background related to CS 3 while installing illustrator.
If you are using windows open task manager and kill the entry for CS 3.
If you are using Mac open the activity monitor kill the process from there and then try.
Thanks

  • HT1926 When Installing new version error is quicktime cannot uninstall old version

    When trying to install new version of Quicktime, I get a error message that quicktime cannot uninstall old version. This also affects Itunes to work. Get Message Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. I think not having quicktime working affects my Itunes from launching.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATION" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
    In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC. Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Cannot uninstall old version of PS CS2

    I updated my mac to lion recently and even though I have a new version of CS5 I still have an old student version of CS2 that I cannot unistall with the "unistall program" that comes with the program. Lion doesn't support any PowerPC application.  I asked at the mac forum how to get rid of this old version but they told me to refer to this forum. Anybody?   I thought I could just drag and drop to the trash but would that really unistall all the program? I will do the same for illustrator, indesign and acrobat as I have CS2.
    Thanks in advance for any commnets on this.

  • Cannot uninstall old version of Qt

    Hi all,
    Sorry if this is not a right place to ask this question. I just recently switch to Mac and am a newbie indeed. Here is my problem:
    I build and install several Qt developer suites from source using the traditional Unix method (configure, make, make install, etc.) with option framework disabled (I want to use the libraries in the form of .dylib only). Now when I installed new version of Qt (4.6.2) and linked my program to this new set of libraries, everything went fine; but at runtime, the system keeps complaining that there are 2 different versions of libraries and that it does not know what to use. Something like this:
    <Quote>
    objc[2450]: Class QMacSoundDelegate is implemented in both /usr/local/Qt-4.6.2/lib/libQtGui.4.dylib and /usr/local/Qt-4.5.3/lib/libQtGui.4.dylib. One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.
    </Quote>
    Even-though if I delete the old library folder, this error still appear. Where in the system does Mac kernel keep track of what software version being installed? I looked everywhere but couldn't find it (/System/Library/Application Support, /System/Library/CoreServices, etc.)
    Please help.

    You cannot install QuickTime 4, or indeed any downloadable version of QuickTime, in Mac OS X 10.6 and have it work. Forcing it into Mac OS X 10.6 is very likely to have caused damage to the operating system by overwriting critical files. The only effective way you're probably going to find to remove it is to reinstall Mac OS X 10.6.
    If you want to have access to old versions of QuickTime, you need to be running a compatible version of Mac OS X, on a development system, one with a PowerPC processor since no version of Mac OS X old enough to run QuickTime 4.x will run on an Intel-based Mac. If you need to run multiple QT versions, create separate volumes, each with its own copy of Mac OS X and different version of QuickTime.

  • Cannot Uninstall Dreamweaver CS3

    I could not uninstall Dreamweaver using Windows XP "Remove Programs".  When I click "Remove" nothing would happen, so I tried running the Adobe Clean Up utility. 
    Then when I clicked "Remove", it said it had already been removed and asked if I wanted to remove it from the list.  I did. Now I don't know how to uninstall it.
    Any advice?
    Thanks,
    Doug Collins

    Hello Doug Collins,
    maybe I list here wellknown examples how to remove programs (my hints are translated from my German WIN):
    Adobes remove program: As we can see it "means" all is deleted. So you should have a look at
    Windows Control Panel (Systemsteuerung): Because of above, presumably also unsuccessful.
    File manager: Search in your Adobe directory for your CS3, maybe there are remaining some files of it. And after that go to
    WIN regedit.exe (the sledgehammer approach): If DW has clearly left its mark, you will find them there. Use search function, BUT be careful by deleting. in any case save your regedit first!
    Good luck!

  • Cannot Uninstall old version of Quicktime

    I use my grandparents' computer for my iTunes and it was fine, but we had a couple problems so my grandpa wiped everything he didn't use...including iTunes!
    I tried reinstalling the new version, but then it said it would't work because Quicktime wasn't installed.
    So, I tried installing Quicktime 7. The Download was fine, but then during the Installation (after agreeing to the Terms and Services, they tell you to click install) there's a window that comes up that says:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailible. Click 'OK' to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'QuickTime.msi' in the box below...
    I asked my uncle and he said I have to look manually for the Quicktime folder because it might've gotten moved around when we got the computer looked at, but I've looked absolutely everywhere and there's no sign that QuickTime is even on the computer!
    And now, after clicking out of the pop-up, the new window says: "The older version of QuickTime cannot be removed...please contact your technical support group."
    I don't want to spend a lot of money, but I have about $300 saved up on my iTunes, and I really want to start to add more to my library. Is there any way I can get QuickTime up so I can start using iTunes?

    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailible. Click 'OK' to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'QuickTime.msi' in the box below...
    That message is usually caused by a damaged QuickTime.msi rather than a missing one.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from Microsoft:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Now run the utility ("Start > All programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs in CleanUp select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly this time?

  • Cannot uninstall trial version internet explorer conflict

    I cannot uninstall InDesign CS3 trial. I get an error message
    installation cannot continue until the following applications are
    closed: internet explorer.
    Since internet explorer is not operating this message must mean
    something else.
    Any ideas to fix this so I can install full CS3 Suite?
    Bob

    Could be your active desktop, if you have that enabled. Try switching to a plain vanilla desktop (even a plain vanilla no unnecessary startup items boot would probably help).
    You can also try right clicking on the process and choosing "end process tree" but I have no idea what dependencies there might be which would cause your system to crash or lock up if stopped when you do that.

  • '07 macbook pro with Lion.  I cannot install Adobe Flash Player.  Tried uninstalling old version - didn't help.  I'm a novice and stuck.  Help.

    Cannot figure out why I can't install Flash Player update.  Even tried uninstalling old version - as Adobe site seemed to suggest, but now have no Flash Player.
    I'm not really computer savy but am frustrated since everywhere I go on web uses Flash Player.  Any ideas, suggestion?  Please help.

    Feel sooo dumb.  Found my error with confidence of your instruction and link.  At 'quit' or 'install' box didn't realize need to check box so obviously didn't install.  This time accidentally hovered over darkened 'install' button so instructions lit up - voila!  Thanks for your help.  I'm back in business.

  • HT1923 I cannot uninstall an old Bonjoure component from programs, therefore, I cannont reinstall Itunes.

    I am trying to reinstall Itunes but I get a message indicating that the OLD "Bonjoure" component must be uninstalled and I cannot uninstall it. Therefore, I am being prevented from reinstalling Itunes....I have already uninstalled all the other components....also, the old Itunes installations are still visible in my programs with a blank book as an icon.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):

(If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
