Corrupt 7.0.5 cannot uninstall

I've a corrupt Adobe Reader 7.0.5 that cannot be uninstalled because I also do not have the file ADobe Reader 7.0.msi on my system. (I suspect that file was deleted in a previous uninstall.) So updates do not run, attempting to download a PDF simply hangs the browser (IE or Firefox tried).
Also, I cannot install a new version (9.0) because it sees the old one, wants to uninstall it first, and cannot because of the same missing file.
Any way to get that old install file to try to uninstall?
Any suggestions on how to get the old Reader off this computer so that a new one will install?

Duh! Thanks. I did have that tool already but did not think of it. The uninstall went fine, and the new install thinks it is working properly (and I have no evidence contrary to that).
Thank you again. :-)

  • Itunes corrupted cannot uninstall

    My itunes says it is corrupted and I cannot uninstall it.  I have tried Revo and it still appears.  I just want to update my itunes to a current version.  I am running version 8.

    Many thanks.
    (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):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (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.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Corrupt registry - cannot uninstall weblogic portal 10.3.2

    I get the error "The local BEA product registry is corrupted" when I try to uninstall WLP 10.3.2. How can I go ahead and do a clean uninstall?

    You may want to go to the domain (top of tree) in the admin console, then 'security', 'embedded LDAP' and play with the 2 options of "refresh replica at startup'" and "master first". I don't have enough info on what database is referring to or your configuration but these are areas you may want to look into.

  • Cannot uninstall or repair

    I cannot uninstall or repair quicktime.  Have tried many things.  Always get error message:
    C\ProgramData\Apple Computer\InstallerCache\Quicktime 7.70.80.34\Get Last Error: 5
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Before going further, we can check whether this was caused by software restriction policy. To check out, we can go to Control Panel->Administrative
    Tools ->Local Security Settings-> Software Restriction Policies.
    Besides, this issue can be caused by corrupted registry keys. In this case, we can click
    Run button in the following page to fix it.

  • Cannot uninstall NX software!

    I have two WIndows XP machines with the NX pc-cam center and webcam monitor installed and I cannot uninstall the programs. Add/Remove Progams appears to do it but they do not go away, nor does a system restore remove the stuff. I don't know what kind of "corrupt-ware" this stuff is but if anyone has a manual uninstallation procedure that works I'd greatly apprecieate it.
    Thanks!

    I there!
    just unplug your camera before uninstall anything and your problem should be solve.

  • Extension Manager CS6 hangs on "Loading Extensions" and I cannot uninstall it.

    Hello,
    I've been having trouble with extension manager cs6 for about two days now, trying to apply patches to it to make it run more smoothly and stop hanging on "Loading Extensions". I have looked through these forums and they suggested that I remove all mxi files from a subfolder called "EM Store", but I cannot find a EM store under the proper location. I also cannot uninstall extension manager from my control panel, as it does not show up. I am just trying to get keyframe caddy for Adobe Flash, but I cannot get it without extension manager which is a giant pain. I've seen other people post both of their log files, but I think that just makes these forums impossible to find any real answers, as the majority of it is the log file. Please help asap, as I need this project that I am doing to be done fairly quickly.
    Short story:
    1. Manager hangs at "Loading Extensions"
    2. Tried patching with updates, did not work
    3. Tried finding the two subfolders, cannot find them at all in proper location
    4. Cannot uninstall it from control panel
    5. Need Help asap

    You should delete EM Store and Database, then try again, you can find these folders under following path:
    Current Machine's Extension Manager CS6 folder: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Extension Manager CS6, under this path you should remove "EM Store", "Mxi Flag" and "Configuration" folder.
    Current user's Extension Manager CS6 folder:  C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Extension Manager CS6, under this path you should remove "EM Store", "Mxi Flag" and "Configuration" folder.
    For the 'AppData' is a hidden folder, you could follow this guider (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/show-hidden-files-in-windows-7/) to unhidden it

  • Running Firefox 4.0 on Windows 7 crashes when opening - no solutions to date work and I cannot uninstall it.

    I've tried going through all the solutions I can find including trying unlock my profile (parent.lock), or create a new profile (profile manager crashes too), opening it in safe mode (it won't - still crashes), running it as administrator (also crashes) and I cannot uninstall it (that crashes too). The Crash Reporter/Manager also crashes and locks up so I cannot submit this issue. I'm at a loss.

    Hit CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to bring up Windows Task Manager, go to the Processes tab and look for '''firefox.exe''' If you find it, right click it and choose Kill Process.
    What I suggest next is to perform a clean installation as follows:
    * Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0] and download a fresh installation file to the desktop. In this particular case, I'd recommend downloading the file with either IE8 or 9. Choose to save the file to your desktop when you see the prompt.
    * Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to Mozilla Firefox and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
    * Then reboot and delete the folder called Mozilla Firefox at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    * Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
    Your bookmarks, customizations etc., will be retained in a separate folder and will become available again once the reinstallation completes.
    If you prefer to go back to the previous secure version which is 3.6.16, use this link instead: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.16] Otherwise the procedure is the same.

    Many thanks.
    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • I cannot uninstall itunes version 10.7.0.21 from my laptop use of that I also cannot install the new update.

    I cannot uninstall iTunes version 10.7.0.21 from my laptop (windows 7), therefore I cannot install the new iTunes version....!
    Every time I try to do it, a "message" from the windows installer pops up saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable", I try to find the installation package "iTunes.msi" but I can never find it either...!
    The funny part is, I can still use this version, but I would like the have the update, which can make my computer much faster than now!
    Can someone help me out??

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've 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".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)
