How do you uninstall previous versions of Acrobat Reader?

I've just installed Version 9.2 but I still have version 8.1.6 installed. I've tried to uninstall it with "add or remove programs" in control panel and I get some error message about a valid Windows Installer Patch Package. Any ideas?

Post your question in the forum for Adobe Reader.

  • How do you uninstall previous versions of CC Apps?

    I am using the Mavericks OS. When I go to uninstall previous CC or 6 applications, I get a message that the OS is using them and I'm not allowed to touch them. Afraid I'm going ti end up with a mess of apps I no longer use and would like to regain the space. Any thoughts?

    How do you uninstall older versions of labview and all their components, registries etc?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you're looking to get a more through uninstall, then Revo Uninstaller is a good way to go. That will run the regular NI uninstallers and then search for leftover registry entries and files. You can also use MSI Blast.

  • Cannot uninstall previous version of Adobe Reader 9.4.5?

    When I try to uninstall this version of the reader I get an error: This patch package could not be opened.Verify it exits or verify it is a valid windows patch pkg.
    So there it sits next to adobe X.
    I get updates every time i turn around.
    it is madening.
    ANY IDEAS?

    You may want to try the following.
    Remove all traces of Reader (not only the program) from your system using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. This is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can produce problems with Win 7, but you can still download it from from places like
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Then, if you want to install Reader, download its  installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    and perform a clean install.

  • PSE installation issues - How do you uninstall trial version???

    I've read several posts about this already, but I can't seem to figure out how to uninstall the trial version of PSE for mac. (I am getting the critical errors/incompatible payloads error message. Shame on Adobe for not fixing this yet.)
    I read not to dump it into the trash. But when I launch the program from untilities I don't see any option to unintall. One post said to "remove it" How do you do this? The delete key doesn't work. How on earth do you uninstall something? I can't even get into the trial version because it keeps asking for a serial number (and I've read entering it doesn't help. I'm so lost, and really didn't plan on spending my hard earned Friday night doing this.) Any help would be much much appreciated!

    There is no uninstaller. The only two icons in the Adobe Installer folder were something called Exented Scripts Installer and the Photoshop Elements icon. I got tired of messing around with it after several hours and finally ran the cleanscript 3 program which worked; I was able to install the purchased version right away. It still really bothers me that I could not figure out how to uninstall though, I'm sure I will need to in the future.
    I wonder if my computer is just missing this installer/uninstaller option?

  • How do I uninstall previous versions of PE - MacOS X?

    Because of system corruption running Mac OS X 10.4.8, I had to reinitialize my hard drive and reinstall everything. By mistake, I installed an old version (2.0) of Photoshop Elements instead of the version I was previously running (4.0) I thought installing 4.0 would "update" 2.0 but it didn't. It left 2.0 intact. I do not want both programs on the computer. Can I simply drag the 2.0 folder into the trash?

    Yes, that's all you need to do. For future reference, every version of PE is a separate program that will not affect earlier versions. On a mac, you can even run all the versions at once, as long as you open the oldest ones first.

  • How do you uninstall TerraGo Toolbar from Acrobat X?

    I am trying to uninstall TerraGo Toolbar from Acrobat X. When I try to uninstall it in Control Panel/Programs and Features (Windows 7), I get the message "Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable."  Is there anyway to uninstall or disable TerraGo Toolbar without uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat X.

    Hi Bruce,
    Solution 1)
    If you attempt to uninstall TerraGo Toolbar while the Adobe application is running, TerraGo will abort the uninstall process and your operating system will present an error message. Depending upon your operating system, the message presented may be unnecessarily severe. Close the Adobe application and re-start the uninstall process. 
    Solution 2)
    If you attempt to uninstall TerraGo and encounter the Windows-specific error message, “Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified location exists and is writable”, follow the instructions posted at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2564571 to resolve the issue.
    Let me know if the issue persist.
    Regards,
    Aadesh

  • How do you restore previous versions of iBook

    I still have my old IPad 1 and cannot read books anymore with version 3,2 of iBooks . Where can I find the old 1,5 version and restore it since IOS on my iPad iwill not upgrade from IOS 5?

    Do you have the iBooks app on your account's purchase history ? If not then try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and you should be able to download an older compatible version of it.

  • Adobe XI trial has stopped my use of previous version of Acrobat reader now that trial is over

    Now that my Trial period is over  of Adobe XI Pro, I cannot use my old Acrobat reader, nor open any of my .pdf files!!!!!!!!!!!
    Need fix.  Reloading Acrobat reader does not seem to fix this issue.

    You’ll need to uninstall all traces of Acrobat first, then load the Reader.

  • How to uninstall previous version of Acrobat

    I am trying Acrobat X pro free trial version. However, setup could not be completed as there was a message that setup cannot uninstall Acobat 9 Pro previously installed. I have tried a number of uninstallers but had no success. Some of the app could not even detect the existing patch of the remaining Acobat 9.

    What is your operating system?  If Windows, try http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html

  • How do you open previous versions of Pages docs on new MBP?

    Besides the fact that it is absolutey rediculous that I am even having this issue, can someone please tell me there is a simple solution to opening documents made on a mac, with mac software that I am now being told "is too old and needs to be saved in '09" which I didn't have nor am running on my new computer.
    How could Apple actually release software that isn't able to communicate with an older version of itself.  Im baffled.  Someone please tell me how I can atleast extract the information and turn it into a text file.
    Thank you

    I am trying to open documents that were created in Pages '08 in the most recent version of Pages that came with my MacBook Pro.
    I think I may have figured out a work around. I found a trial version of iWorks '09 so I downloaded it and am in the process of saving the documents in '09 as the alert message stated.  Hopefully this will allow me to open them and edit them in the most recent version of Pages. 

  • How best to uninstall previous version - Mac

    I am on a Mac and have  updated creative design suite CS5 to CS6. I see CS5 is all still present. How do I best uninstall all that?
    I did this upgrade because I upgraded to Mountain Lion.

    I don't know of any "best" method, but since you already have installed CS6 and to avoid making a mess, running Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and trashing the CS5 folders manually might be the most painless way. Otehrwise you can of course use the uninstallers, but may have to reinstall CS6 again afterwards to fix broken shared components and file handlers.
