How do I target my Program Files (x86) folder to uninstall applications?

I've subscribed to Cloud 6, but I first want to uninstall my CS5 products before installing the Cloud apps. I have a 64-bit system and Win 7. There is a Program Files folder and a Program Files (x86) folder where my CS5 app reside. However, I can't seem to get my Win 7 Uninstaller to target the (x86) folder, so I'm stuck. Any advice on how to properly uninstall the programs from that location?

Have you followed these steps?

Should be all you need to do.
I recommend successfully installing and activating CS6 before you uninstall CS5.

How do I delete C:program files (x86)/common files/apple

How do I delete C:program files (x86)/common files/apple ?
There is a prompt which says that the folder or file is in use in another program.
I am trying to uninstall all Apple progams as suggested by apple support because iTunes won't communicate with my iPod

Hello RooDogg,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like there may be a program or service still running that is utilizing this folder. You can double check by making sure the 6 components are uninstalled from the Control Panel:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
1. iTunes
2. QuickTime
3. Apple Software Update
4. Apple Mobile Device Support
5. Bonjour
6. Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
If the above are already uninstalled, restart your computer and then confirm that the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ can be removed. If it cannot, follow the additional steps at the bottom of the article (referring to iPodService.exe).
Thanks,
Matt M.

Install 11gR2 client on Windows 7 in the Program Files (x86) folder

Hi,
We have a requirement to install the 11g R2 client 32bit on Windows 7 into the Program Files (x86) folder. We already have the 10g client installed into this location, and wish to keep the Oracle software in the same ORACLE_BASE location.
The installer fails with an error INS-32010 String contains invalid characters.
Is there a way to work around this, or are we going to have to change the ORACLE_BASE location?
Any help or experiences shared will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Alex

It should allow .
The issue lies some where else
Below is mandatory :
Ensure that the paths you select for Oracle software, such as Oracle home paths and the Oracle base path, use only ASCII characters. Because installation owner names are used by default for some paths, this ASCII character restriction applies to user names, file names, and directory names.

Should I (and can I) delete Program Files (x86) folder in Windows 7?

I installed Windows 7 32 bit over a Windows Vista 64 bit computer. I had to reinstall all applications (Office, etc.) and they were installed in the new folder 'Program files'. Can I just delete the old 'Program Files (X86)' folder? Should I do that? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It is impossible to upgrade a 64-bit operating system to a 32-bit operating system, no matter it is an OEM disk or not.
Windows 7 32-bit does not include the “Program Files (x86)” folder. Only the 64-bit operating systems have it. In this case, the 64-bie operating system is Windows Vista 64-bit.
In addition, if you performed a Clean Install for Windows 7 32-bit on the old system (Windows Vista 64-bit) partition, the old system files should be saved in C:\Windows.old folder.
So, Folk70, did you perform a Clean Install for Windows 7 32-bit on another hard disk drive? After logging into Windows 7 32-bit, then you found the “Program Files (x86)” folder in the Windows Vista 64-bit system partition?
If not, would you please upload the following information to SkyDrive and provide us the link for analyzing?

WHY program file(x86 ) folder in 64 bit..

i did clean installation of windows vista ultimate after formating my windows drive
but in cdrive i can see two folder
Program Files
Program Files(x86)
what is the purpose of each folder ....
is any thing wrong in installation

Hi,
It is normal for Windows Vista 64bit.
The Program Files folder is used to store 64bit applications and the Program Files(x86) folder is used to store 32bit applications. When installing a 64bit application, it will be installed under Program Files by default and when install a 32bit application, it will be installed under Program Files(x86) by default.

What files are in the Program Files (X86) folder for Flash Player for Windows 8.1?

I keep getting a message from a Hitman Pro indicating the files sqlite3.dll and winclient32.exe in the Flash Player folder are suspicious. What file should be in that folder?

I have no such folder.
You probably downloaded a fake, and have malware now.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Those are the ONLY legitimate updaters that aren't accessed from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
They are the FULL installers we link to here to avoid bundled software (Google Chrome or McAffee Security Scan).
Bookmark those links.
Once you get things cleaned up, use them

CS6 Install Question Program Files (x86) 64 Bit

A bit confusing on Installation of CS6.
I have 8 ADOBE CS6 folders that installed into "PROGRAM FILES" and 8 installed into PROGRAM FILES (x86).
There are two versions of ILLUSTRATOR, PHOTOSHOP AND BRIDGE. One 64 Bit the other is 32 Bit. Is that normal?
After downloading first time, I noticed on my desktop a folder -"ADOBE CS6 Production Premium" Inside that folder was an Adobe Folder, inside that a SETUP.exe file. So I double clicked on that...and more downloading started. (So I don't know if that was a second download, or a redundant download, normal or not?)
I don't know if ADOBE installed into the right locations? Why into two different locations (plus a folder on my desktop?) Is it all supposed to be in one place?
Everything WORKS. I had to create shortcuts for the programs onto my desktop. All of the software works fine.
I just don't know about the two versions of those three programs - 64 and 32 Bit versions? Is that normal?
I also don't know why some software installed in the two different locations? Is that normal?
THANKS!

Yes, It is absolutely fine , With CS6 we have got 32-bit and 64 bit version of the software , and it is by Windows that all the 32-bit apps get installed in the Program files(x86) folder however all the 64-bit apps get installed in Program files folder.
No need to worry just enjoy the apps !!!

Program Files (x86) directory invalid during XI R2 install. How to change?

I am receiving an error during a BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2 install that the target ../Program Files (x86)/.. directory is invalid due to the "()". I understand that this is a 32bit app and not compatible with the (x86) directory, but the path is greyed out during the install and cannot be modified. I recall seeing some time back there is a registry key that can be changed for this default install directory - does anyone know what this is or how I can get around this problem and install the package to the regular Program Files directory?
Thanks

RTM unfortunately. Do you happen to know if the SP4 full build is the version currently available for download on the support site in 2 separate files? I am downloading now, hopefully this is what I need.
Thanks
