CC client says Edge Reflow is installed but its not

(New post rather than necro an old one)
Windows 8.1 64bit
I read and followed each instruction in this post but nothing worked.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1295064
Windows 8 gave me a 2503 error when trying to uninstall Edge Reflow through the windows uninstaller. I searched several kew words for the reflow folder location and found nothing. I went in and deleted the registry values for Reflow (just old installer temp strings). Still, CC sees it as installed.
How does the client detect what is installed?

I tried the 64 bit installer, no dice. Still a 2503 and 2502 error.
I did some more research on the 2503 and 2502 errors. I checked all the permissions and files and they were all correct. I had already deleted a folder string with Reflow file names in it under C:\windows\installers and Edge still showed in the CC client. I found a script that checked to see which installers files are being used in that directory. I deleted the ones that weren't and no CC client does not see Edge installed anymore.
As for the cause. I believe it was when I upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1. Several of my apps uninstalled themselves and I believe this is why I discovered my adobe products were no where to be found / except for Edge reflow. It must have been an isolated error to not get rid of an installer package.
Thank you very much for your help and hopefully this information can be used to help others.
EDIT:
Actually I ran into another related issue. I went to uninstall to make sure it was fixed, ran into 2503 and 2502 again. I tried uninstalled through the control panel. Didn't work. I went into the windows\installer and manually clicked the .msi. It went all the way to copying files and then errors popped up again with Edge Reflowed still installed. It seems like the issues are still permissions on my end I need to configure.
This means the issues were caused by Windows 8 trying to circumvent these permissions to uninstall the program going into 8.1, couldn't and just deleted the files leaving an unclean directory. I will see how to fix this.
UPDATE:
I had to end explorer.exe and started it back up with admin privledges through task managers.This got the uninstaller (in the windows\installer directory) to work to a point. Now I am getting "A network error occured while attempting to read from the file: 'C:\windows\installer\edge_Reflow_preview_7_LREF.msi'" which then the uninstaller rolls back actions and Edge is still installed.
However, running the windows control panel uninstaller worked and CC client doesn't see Edge. Also, I just realized under the specs for Edge Reflow, Windows 8.1 is not supported. Windows 8.1 screwed a lot of installer packages over with compatibility with permissions.

  • Flash  Player says installed but  its not

    I have installed 10.1 4 times tonight each time i get installation complete but nothing is there when I check to see if Flash 10.1 is installed per the installation instructions. I 've tried the automate download and manual. I have internet explorer 32 bit as far as I know  operating on Windows XP. I changed security settings as recommended - I 'm not good at computers to begin with - what do I need to do

    I have exactly the same problem:  I've downloaded flashplayer, DLM says that it's successful, but no icon is on the desktop.
    I've gone to the software/flash/about site, and it shows an animated logo with the message that flash was correctly installed.
    If I go to start - all programs - reader is shown but flash is not.
    Other sites (including within Adobe) tell me that I need to install flash.
    I went to windows\system32\macromed\flash, and it listed 6 files:
          Flash101.ocx
          FlashInstall
          FlashUtil101_ActiveX
          FlashUtil101_ActiveX.dll
          Genuinst
          KB923789
    When I click on FlashUtil101_ActiveX, I get a message box telling me that it will UNinstall flash, so I quit it.
    When I go to control panel, Add/remove, it DOES list flash player.
    My system is WindowsXP, 5.1 - SP2.
    Each time that I've downloaded flash, it's been with the DLM, I didn't see an option to manually download it.
    Each time it's downloaded, McAfee downloads and successfully installs, and it's icon appears on the desktop.
    I would sincerely appreciate any suggestions that you can offer.
    Very respectfully,
    Larry

  • Cs says acrobat installed, but its not. osx mavericks

    hello. i want to download and install acrobat as per my subscription. however the creative cloud client says that it is already installed and will not let me download it again.  I am on osx 10.9 mavericks

    Hi Glenn,

  • AAM says"Installed" but its not

    I tried to install acrobat x pro but it gave me an error, but in my application, the program was present, but obviously corrupted. It wouldnt open and the unistaller froze as well. I ended up uninstalling using app zapper but not the AAM still says that it is installed. How do I change that status?

    AAM may give an error regarding installation if Acrobat X was already installed. Before attempting to install it through AAM I would first ensure it is not listed in Programs & Features/Add Remove Programs or Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.
    AAM uninstalls automatically when removing all CS6 applications.

  • Latest version of fp downloads and indicates it was installed but its not on my imac.

    It does work if I download Flash Player either through Firefox or Chrome but not through Safari which is my preferred webbrowser.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    You may have some odd possibly even malware software, maybe think about FunWeb Products or similar. I say this as I note in your system info aside:
    *''User Agent <br/>Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0 WBSMTWB020''
    You may have version 9 installed, but that is not what your browser is apparently reporting.
    Try using
    #[[safe mode]] <-- clickable link -- <br/> eg by pressing shift as you start firefox <br/> do not make changes, just click on continue
    # if that does not help then; whilst still in safe mode, disable all plugins
    Finally you may have to look for software installed but not showing up in Firefox as a plug-in. If the problem continues then it is down to doing malware scans.

  • Quicktime thinks its installed but its not.

    Ive searched the apple forums, other forums, and googled all about this.
    I uninstalled QT a long time ago with the Uninstall process (not manually erase), cleaned registry, I mean every single shred of QT. Cleaned /System32/ QT files. Its not in /Program Files/QuickTime/
    Tried Windows Install Cleanup Util, but QT isnt listed.
    For some reason it Always says:
    This installer cannot upgrade Quicktime 7 Windows Public Preview. Please Uninstall First.
    It is not installed!!!! Why does it think this!!
      Windows XP Pro  

    This installer cannot upgrade Quicktime 7 Windows Public Preview. Please Uninstall First.
    Mac installer places a "receipt" on the HDD when the QT application is installed -- sort of a digital "paper trail" so the installer knows which version(s) was/were previously installed. Maybe sometthing like that is causing your problem here.

  • Tried to upgrade and it keeps saying thank you for downloading but its not there!

    I had my iphone 4 stolen so just got the 4s tonight. I tried to open itunes and it says I needed to install new version. When I hit "install" the box goes away and nothing happens. I have gone to Apple site and tried to download from there and it says Thank you for downloadng after I hit install but nothing ever happened.  have tried troubleshooting by uninstalling iTunes and all components and tried to re-install but same thing happens and it is not showing anywhere. Can someone please help? I have spent hours on this already and I am gtting nowhere! Thx!

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • Iphone 3GS says Gmail password is wrong but its not?

    Hello all, I have an iPhone 3GS and have been using it with GMail for nearly a year now with no issues at all.
    Today out of the blue the phone says the password or username is incorrect and won't download new emails but both the username and password are correct, its just the phone will not have it!
    I even went as far as resetting the Gmail password on my laptop but still it says on the phone that its not right!
    I've tried resetting the phone by deleting the email account, then pressing the power and the home button to reset it but still it doesn't like it? I've checked my Gmail account and pop forwarding is on as well ??
    Any help how to get my Gmail account back up and running ?

    Hi,
    I take it you are creating @Mac,com names to work in iChat ?
    The Apple Registration page for this allows passwords to be over 16 characters.
    Unfortunately the page does not tell you that the AIM servers can only use Up to 16 characters (it can be 16 characters or shorter)
    Use the iForgot page to change the password.

  • Mac app store says iwork is installed, but its not.

    The Mac App store says that Pages, Keynote, and Numbers are all installed on my iMac, but when I open them, they are the previous versions.  Should I delete and try to re-install?  What do I do?  I've already restarted.  Didn't work.  Suggestions?

    Don't delete them. That will not help and you will find that they have more features than the new iWork apps. You can have both version on the computer. You have to have the latest version of iWork 09 for this to work.
    To get the new ones.
    1. log out of MacAppStore
    2. Change the localized language in the System preferences> Language and Text > Text. Make sure the new language is on the top of the list
    3. Restart the computer
    4. Log in and open the MAcAppStore. Now you should see that you can download the new iWork apps. Do so and supply you AppleID for the appStore.
    5.When done change language again in the System preferences
    6. Restart the computer
    7. now you should have the stripped version of iWork. The old one will still be in the application folder too.
