How to remove old version of Reader

Removing Reader 10.0.1
I cannot run the current version of reader because I cannot remove the older one.  I am told that the "patch" does not exist. Help.

Run: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
Then re-install.

  • How to remove old version of Bonjour?

    I am having a problem updating itunes due to an error reguarding Bonjour. It says that an older version of bonjour could not be removed, to consult my apple community or something to that effect. Then iTunes installer is interupted and no changes are made to the system. Please anyone w/ info I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance

    Have you tried using Add or Remove Program?
    Open start > Settings > Control panel (open your control panel if you see it when you open your start menu) > Add or Remove Program then find Bonjour and remove it.
    OR
    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 Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes 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.)

  • Installing Reader 11.0.02 - old version of Reader is not removed

    We have a problem while installing Adobe Reader 11.0.02 via Active Directory. Adobe Reader 11.0.02 itself installs correctly but the older version of Adobe Reader (10.1.3) is not uninstalled, although we used the Adobe Customization Wizard and checked the box "Remove all  versions of Reader". Even if we try to replace the old msi package with the new msi package via active direcory and say "deinstall it" it wont do that.
    We dont want to have installed two versions of Adobe Reader installed at the same time to prevent problems. How can we automatically uninstall it?
    Thanks!

    Please download the latest Adobe Reader patch from the below mentioned location, it will work with MUI installer.

  • How do I get all pages of a multi-page PDF form to print in old versions of Reader?  Reader 11 prints all; Reader 10 skips first page

    I'm new to forms creation, so please excuse my ignorance. I've created a 9 page form in InDesign CS6 on Mac OS 10.6.8 and exported it as an interactive PDF. With Acrobat 10.1.10 I've checked that there is no security -- everything is allowed. None of the form fields is required.  I originally had some required fields but made them not required to see if my printing problem would go away.  I enabled the extension that allows versions of Reader before 11 to save data in the form. Page 1 has combo fields, radio buttons, a submit button, and text fields.  The rest of the form has radio buttons and text fields. Some of the people who've tried my form say they can print pages 2 through 9 but not page 1. One of them is known to be using Reader 10. I've tried printing my form with Reader 11 on Max OX 10.6.8 and Reader 11 on Windows 8.1 and seen no printing problems. What have I done wrong?  Is there something about the submit button on page 1 that makes older versions of Reader not willing to print that page?  There's nothing propriety or sensitive on the form so I'll leave it for a while in Dropbox in case someone is willing to inspect it.  It's at
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87784382/Savable_Local_Show_Report_2.pdf

    I've been able to find someone willing to do some testing that I can't do without installing old versions of Reader on my computer.  The surprising (to me) result is that the Submit button causes the problem.  By simply removing the Submit button, Reader 10 is now able to print page 1.  The Submit button was set up to do a "mailto".  I don't know whether other destinations also cause the problem of the page not printing with old versions of Reader.

  • Remove previous versions of Reader greyed out in Adobe Customization Wizard 9

    Hi everyone.  I'm trying to make an SMS pushable custom MSI with the Adobe Customization Wizard 9, to roll out Acrobat Reader 9 to all my PCs.  The big reason i wanted to use the ACW9 was so I could force it to uninstall all the old versions of Reader on my computers, which i have a lot of different versions of 7 and 8 out there.  When I go to  the screen in ACW9, the option to remove previous versions of Reader is greyed out and unchecked, and the rmeove previous versions of Acrobat is greyed out and checked (which is what i dont want to do).  Any ideas how to get this to work right?  I have both older versions of Reader and Acrobat Pro on my computer i'm using to build it, so it isn't that.

    It doesn't seem Adobe really cares about supporting IT personnel. Thanks for a tool that doesn't work properly and you provide no support for.
    What I've found is that it will remove previous Acrobat reader versions! So it's not harmless when that option is checked and greyed out.

  • Problem removing old versions with customization wizard 8

    I'm trying to deploy Acrobat Reader 8 to our XP Professional desktops via Active Directory software installation (Windows Server 2003 domain)
    I have obtained the MSI release of Reader 8, customised it using Adobe Customization Wizard 8, and deployed it through AD as per the Adobe documentation. This works as expected for new machines without a previous release of Reader installed.
    However for desktops that have Reader 6 or 7 installed, we end up with two versions installed side by side (visible in Add/Remove Programs). Reader 8 works fine at this point. Removing the older version causes the PDF file association that Reader 8 created to be broken, also the Internet Explorer browser plugin is broken. Reader 8 has to be reinstalled manually to fix this issue.
    I have read that Reader automatically removes old versions of itself when you install a new version. Additionally, when customising the MSI, "Remove previous version of Reader" is greyed out. However it appears that the installer is not removing old versions.
    Any ideas as to a solution?
    Thanks a lot
    Tom Fanning

    I have the same problem and i have wasted like 50 hours on this s**t. I'm trying to deploy reader 8 on our 1800 XP workstations with SMS 2003.
    The cutomization tool is totally useless. The only way i have came up with is to create a script wich checks if earlier versions of Adobe reader is installed by looking if the installation folders exists (for example c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader ).
    If the installation folders exists, the script would run the uninstallatoin string of the reader using its Windows installer product code, like this:
    MsiExec.exe /x /qn {AC76BA86-7AD7-1035-7B44-A70000000000}
    Now, the problem with the script is that we have several versions of reader 6 and 7 including 3 different languages. The script or the .BAT file would be quite complicated and the testing is allmost impossible.
    I think that it would be much more easier to create a script that deletes all the shotcuts for Adobe reader and then installs a Freeware product for openig PDF files.

    In my opinion, adobe products are a nightmare for IT admins and their support system is even worse than Microsofts.

  • How to upgrade old version of MacPro 1.1 with Lion 10.7.5 to Mountain Lion? There is some way by inserting 64 bit instead od 32bits. Reply to Stefan Erix

    How to upgrade old version of MacPro 1.1 with Lion 10.7.5 to Mountain Lion? There is some way by inserting 64 bit instead od 32bits. Reply how to do it to Stefan Erix, Uppsala, Sweden
    <Email Edited by Host>

    If you are a developer, or have a similar personality, there is an aftermarket EFI-64 "work-alike" program you can load into memory instead of 64-bit firmware. It is too complicated for regular folks.
    You must already have upgraded your Memory and your graphics card to use this solution, and your Mac will not operate quite normally. Any problems with it are unsupported.

  • Unable to remove old version of iTunes

    no "remove" option, in the control panel for itunes, downloaded new itunes, can't install it. message said
    "cannot remove old version, contact technical support group".
    i give up.
    anyone know about this???

    First, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. If it goes, good. If it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to iTunes.
    Next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
    (1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files folder.
    (3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    (4) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
    (5) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
    (6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
    (7) Restart your computer.
    Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?
    (thank you very much, {b nior})

  • Should you remove old versions (CS5) before you install creative cloud?

    Should you remove old versions before you install creative cloud?  Right now I have CS4 and CS5 on my system.  Iwould like to remove them before I move forward.

    Rod as Badavaraj indicated there is no requirements to keep the older versions installed.  If you have particular compatiblity needs with plug-ins or working collaboratively with other Adobe users using those versions however you may want to keep the older software titles installed.

  • "Remove previous versions of Reader" is muted out?

    Remove previous versions of Reader is grayed out and I need to do a rolback on a lot of machines, to many to do manually.
    The last time I needed to perform a rollback was in v.9 and it was fine.
    What am I missing here?
    Better ways to perform a rollback? Standard scripting solutions have not panned out via SCCM. Thank you.

    I dont think that you would be able to achieve the same with the customization wizard.
    Can you let me know how exactly is it that you deploy the updates to the systems? Is it via a GPO policy or is it via SCCM/SCUP model? I would be able to suggest you a few options based on the same.
