HELP! Wrong Uninstall file provided by Adobe (Uninst.isu not .exe)

I just purchased CS3 but have a very old Photoshop 5.5 on Windows XP I want to uninstall first. Unfortunately, uninstall won't work because Adobe provided a Mac uninstall file and not a .exe for Windows in the product packaging. I have the original CDs and the Mac file is all that is provided!!! I tried reinstalling just to be certain doing so made no difference.
Is there a utility or a way to get an Uninst.exe for this old 5.5 product so I can get rid of it? Adobe Tech Support won't help!!!!!

Ozwoman9, If you invoke the remove through Windows, it just invokes the same file that Adobe provides which can not be executed. The message is something like "...is not valid or the data has been corrupted. Uninst will not continue" So going through Windows add/remove programs is not on any help.
John, If I can't find any other way I may need to just delete the files as you suggest an hope CCleaner or System Mechanic can clean up what is left. However, I have gone down that path before and have later had problems installing subsequent versions of the same software because there was some trace of the previous program left out there. I am hoping someone has the correct .exe out there that can send it to me, or perhaps have had success with some utility from Adobe or somewhere else.
Thank you both for the response.

How do I resolve the issue Cannot open the file ".indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file for

How do I resolve the issue Cannot open the file ".indd". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing , or the file may be open in another application?

Shouldn't the CC version be able to open any file created in an older version on InDesign?
Yes, it ought to.
If the older file wasn't yours (if someone emailed it to you,or burned it on a disc, or whatever), then I am almost willing to bet you a beverage in the city of your choice that it's not a complete InDesign file. That is, maybe it was zipped and renamed, or the beginning or end of the file was chopped off during download, or something like that. The only reason I'm not actually making the bet is that there is a remote chance that I'd lose, and maybe you're in Adelaide or Khabarovsk or somewhere where the cost of airfare to me would make that bet a very expensive bet for me to to lose. So no latte for you if I'm wrong!
The script that Jongware posted will tell you what version of InDesign made the file to begin with. Additionally, if someone did something like rename YourFile.PDF to YourFIle.INDD, it'll report that it's Not An InDesign File. Because while SpectrumPCS is kinda right and that message can be generated when attempting to open a CS5 file in CS3 or whatever, it also spits out the same message when you just try to open an Autocad file, or a Windows system file, or a PDF, or any file that InDesign actually cannot open at all.

Getting error "Cannot open the file "*****.INDD". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."

How to fix this problem
"Cannot open the file "*****.INDD". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application."

When I have seen this message it is either when I try to open a document with an older version of Indesign E.g. an indesign 2014 document with Indesign CC.
The other time I have seen it is to open an Indesign CC document with Indesign 2014 which does not have Mindsuite - a plugin I use. Mindsuite, as yet, has not upgrade the plugin for Indesign 2014 therefore it recognises that a the document was created withe a plugin that the 2014 version does not have installed.
I believe your problem will be something like that.

HELP: ld: fatal: file /dev/zero: mmap anon failed: Not enough space

Trying to build a debug version of our code using Solaris 10 and SunStudio 12, and we get this error:
ld: fatal: file /dev/zero: mmap anon failed: Not enough space
Any idea?
The ld process grows to ~4GB then dies.
The compile server has plenty of memory and swap available.
Any idea? Our program is getting quite large, but I am sure there are larger ones out there.

The only suggestion I have is to switch to stabs debug format (-xdebugformat=stabs compiler option) and don't specify -xs so that most of debug info is stored in .o files. Maybe it'll save some linker address space. Other than that, try asking on linker forum:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=63
I know that it's a hot topic and you will probably get an answer as soon as someone from linker team take a look.

File associations of Adobe products will not open cross platform.

I have an computer that suddenly can only open an .PDF file in Acrobat, and not in Illustrator. We have art files that are in PDF format, and Purchase Orders that are in PDF format. We would just drag the icon over the software we wished to open the file. In this case Illustrator for the art file and Acrobat for the P.O. As of today, PDF's only open with Acrobat and that's it. I know it's probably a setting I'm forgetting. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

By doesn't open I mean, if you drag the file icon over the Illustrator icon, you get the circle with the slash. Meaning this software cannot open this file type. To simulate what we see, think of dragging a file icon over an unassociated program like an image file over word processor program. It will let you know you can't open this file with that software. As for opening the file, yes it will. We just tested it, and it will open the file. I guess the only issue is that dragging the file icon over the program icon suddenly will not work. It's beginning to look like this might be a computer issue. However the only programs affected are the Adobe software. This one is strange, never seen it. The computer is a Windows XP machine with CS5 on it. The artist is used to using a Mac so the drag and drop is second nature, plus she checks in our graphic files against the accompanying P.O. A large percentage of which are Adobe acrobat files. It's just one of those irritating work around issues she shouldn't have to do, and will not have time once our busy season starts. Thank you for all of the help and have a great day.

InDesign CC | Error with indd file - "Cannot open the file...Adobe InDesign may not support file format"

I encountered a very strange error with InDesign CC after saving a file created in CS4. I'd attach the file but I'm not sure how to do this, if I'm able to. The file is 44kb and doesn't seem like it should be (file I saved had a large book cover). Now since the original CS4 file was overwritten using InDesign CC, the file is corrupt and I'm getting the error message displayed below. The file is not open within another application. Has anyone gotten this before?

Thanks for your response Peter. Below is the gibber contained in the first four lines. In the first line, where it reads "mimetypeapplication" and then "indesign-idml-package", I would assume that this should've been a valid idml file.

Photoshop Elements 8 and Adobe Air will not exe after installation

I am currently running elements 8. Since yesterday the photoshop elements editor will not execute, but crashing after it tries to initiates TWAIN.
I have been uninstalling and reinstalling since yesterday.
1. I have deleted elements preferences.
2. I have used my utility drive to clean up clutter and excess files.
3. I have cleaned my registry using Systems Mechanic
4. I have installed the program from the desktop.
5. I have copied the execution file to the desktop to use as a shortcut.
6. I have turned off all devices and drivers that might be interfering and installed in simple mode.
7. I have updated my drivers.
8. I have tried the repair function
9. I have removed the program manually to ensure nothing is lingering and then tried reinstalling.
10. I have tried Systems Restore.
11. I am in the process of defragmenting my hard drive
12. I have tried installing from the D: drive
After all of this nothing has worked, and to make matters worse, now Adobe Air is crashing.
Is there anything else that I have not tried that might remedy this problem.
I have the program on another computer and it works fine.

Go into the program files (program files(x86) for a 64-bit system), find the Elements 8 folder and within that Plug-ins>ImportModules and delete the Adobe TWAIN plugin. (You may have trouble scanning directly into the editor after doing this)

New camera format not recognized/Adobe Updater will not update

I bought a new camera (Canon Mark 5D III). I am trying to use my laptop (Mac Air/Lion) with Photoshop CS3 (although I have upgrades, I cannot upgade to CS5.5 or 6 because it will just drag my system down, worse than it is limping along already with Lion). Camera Raw doesn't recognize the file format. Adobe Updater will not upgrade anymore. Updater gives the following message: There are no updates available at this time. Please note that some updates for the following products cannot be determined at this time: Adobe Updater." How do I get the files to read on my laptop? I use it for travel and would like to at least be able to see my files in Photoshop for sharpness, and maybe do some preliminary editing.
By the way, I spent 20 minutes waiting for a chat assistant then when I got one, he told me I had to call tech support. I tried calling tech support but was put on hold for well over 2 and a half hours before hanging up. This is horrible service! I couldn't even find an email address for customer service to lodge a complant.

Moving this discussion to the Adobe Camera RAW forum. Mary Prasad you will likely want to look at using the DNG convertor to convert your files to the DNG format. You can then open the DNG file in Photoshop CS3. You can find more details at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html.

Sounds like something has been added into the Reader folder. I would recommend uninstalling, running http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, removing any left over parts of the Reader folder (this might have been the problem), reboot, and reinstall. Hopefully that solves the problem. For future question about Reader, you should consider asking in the Reader forum, this is not it.

No Apple response??? Redplum/Valassis will not help either. I searched, using the cups error message and though it is Unbuntu, same error so maybe useful...only problem: details would not display unless I join Unbuntu forum. What a pain to do anything with my Mac or find any help. I honestly regret buying this buggy OS.
Anyway, here is what I found, FYI:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=483415
As the old saying goes: when in doubt, consult the manual. The problem appears to be that I added the printer using the KDE Add Printer Wizard. It was automatically given a "socket" URI instead of an "lpd" one. When I:
- altered the printer settings at http://localhost:631 (the CUPS admin page) as instructed in the manual for the printer, and
- copied the PPD file into a second place on the hard drive (as instructed on ubunutuforums, see the link above)
..everything started working.
It's still slower than windows, but I can live with that
Probably a simple fix. Change the socket I.P. to match the printer I.P. like this:
socket://192.168.1.86:9100. The thing I'm concerned with using socket:// is that AFAIK the printer I.P. must not change. In my case I'm able to assign a static I.P. address to the printer but it's something to consider.
I found that the only thing I needed to do was change socket to lpd (and remove :9100 off the end as well). See Solving Ubuntu printer broken pipe problem (DocuPrint C525A) . BTW thanks for steering me in the right direction - very grateful.
Solving Ubuntu printer “broken pipe” problem (DocuPrint C525A)
Posted on November 25, 2008
Are you having a problem with your printer under the latest versions of Ubuntu (perhaps it worked under an older version)? Are you able to print short documents, but not longer, or more graphics-intensive, documents? (e.g. the unfortunate people at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=625493). Do they sit there as Processing for ages and then switch to Held? If you have the same problem I had the solution I tried may work for you too. Firstly, check your cups error log:
sudo gedit /var/log/cups/error_log
If you see anything like the following, the solution may be simple:
[Job 201] Unable to write print data: Broken pipe
PID 13359 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/socket) stopped with status 1!
System > Administration > Printing and right click on your printer, selecting Properties. Settings > Device URI
If you see something like socket://your_printer_ip_address:9100 just change socket to lpd and remove the :9100 off the end. Then click on apply.
Apparently lpd is a more modern protocol which works with most printers whereas socket is more raw (and potentially faster but riskier in a network situation). Somewhere along the line, the default Ubuntu/Gnome setup for networked printers shifted from lpd to socket. Some primitive printers will have benefited whereas a larger number of more modern printers will have suffered.
Please correct me if I am wrong (which is highly possible) but the underlying problem could be that socket may make the printer wait a long time for a large file to be processed ready for printing. Some printers, such as the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint C525A, may drop the socket if things take too long to start coming through.
Changing timeout settings might work but lpd is better than socket so it is the preferred solution in any case.
If this works for you, please leave a comment to let others know (ideally with a description of the printer and Ubuntu version). Printer may be relevant if it doesn’t support the direct stream protocol properly. NB I may take a while to let your comment through because of the volume of spam. Sorry about that.
Finally, thanks to sphilli8 for the steer in the right direction at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6245626.

Please HELP! i cannot open any Adobe PDF files anymore. i DL the new version XI and since no files have opened - so i recently uninstalled it and re-installed adobe reader 9 but i am having the same problem - no pdf files open and its really causing a problem as i can not open any work documents. please help

Three things to try (Reader XI)...
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html
