How to uninstall CS Extension Builder 1.5 or update to 2.0?

Hi,
I'm in Flash Builder 4.6. Bellow is a long procedure on why I'm here asking this simple question. But a shorter version of my question is exactly the title of this thread: How can I uninstall 1.5 or, better, simply upgrade to 2.0? Does someone know if it's possible without uninstalling Flash Builder completly?
Here are the (ho so long and painfully long to read) steps that leads to my problem:
I've installed CS Extension Builder 1.5 TRIAL whitout any issues. Even coded some working extensions.
Then, a license have been bought.
I've updated the files through the Install Software menu. No problems.
To what I can remember, there was no menu option at this point in the Help menu to get information about the license or log out from the Adobe ID
Later, I had to show to my coworkers how to install the CS Extension plugin into Flash Builder. A few weeks have already went by since I've done it myself, so just to remember how to do it properly, I figured I should try to do it again.
Help/Install Software/What's Already Installed/Selected all CS Extension releated plugins/Uninstall/Restard Flash Builder
Problem #1: All the extension features and menu options are still in Flash Builder. BUT, they are correctly removed from the "Installed Software" window.
I've searched all over the Internet, I've done nothing wrong. The right way to remove a plugin is from the Installed Software window.
So, how to clean CS Extension from Eclipse?
I looked at the CS Extension plugin package to find back which files were copied in the plugins folder of Eclipse and figured I could just remove them manually. Which I did.
Restart Flash Builder
CS Extension Builder seems to be sucessfully removed from Eclipse.
Problem #2: While trying to re-install CS Extension Builder 1.5, Eclipse throws an error. Some files I've removed are missing. Damn.
Those files were still in my Recycle Bin, so I restored them.
Install again
Restart
Success
Note that here, 2 new menu options in the Help menu are available to me: one to get information about my license and one to log out from my Adobe ID. There is also a link at the bottom left of Eclipse where I see the Adobe ID register name.
I don't remember if I needed to enter my serial key the first time, but this one, it seems that only linking Eclipse with the Adobe account does the trick.
Ok. So far so good, everything's working fine again. But ho, suprise, CS Extension 2 is released and my coworkers are getting this copy instead of 1.5. So hey, I need to upgrade too.
I figured that I didn't need to uninstall 1.5. Just installing the new files should do it. So Help/Install New Software/Add/Local/CS Extension 2 package/Update
It tells me that I already have CS Extension Builder and that an upgrade will be done instead. Great, that's what I needed.
Everyting updates. No errors.
Restart
Problem #3: I'm stuck with 1.5. No options to create a project in CS6, and if I go to Help/About Create Suite Extension Builder, it's still displaying the 1.5 panel (my coworkers are getting the red panel, I still have the gray one).
I do the exact same steps than before (uninstall via Eclipse all plugins related to CS Extension and manually remove the files, restart Eclipse, voilà it's gone).
But before trying to install again, I read somewhere that I should clean the Installation History to make sure Eclipse unlink itself from the old versions of the files. So I clear everything, leaving the history blank but the Current Installation (which doesn't contains any references to CS Extension.
Restart Eclipse
Try to install 2.0
Same error that is telling my that some files are missing (like com.adobe.cside. core....).
Get back the plugin files from the recycle bin.
Now it works but version 1.5 is back
I notice in the Installation History that a state is there, not containing any CS plugins. I say hey, why not trying to revert there.
Problem #4 and last one: Now not only I'm still stuck with 1.5, which asn't been unistalled, but the plugins are still in the Installed Software list and, worse, the Uninstall button is grayed out on CS Extension plugins...
What is going on here! I just want to uninstall and upgrade! Everything I did is a mess, and I know the easy way out is probably to re-install Flash Builder. But I don't want to know how to easily fix it, I want to know WHY it happened, and if it can be fixed. And if you want the real reason... (I have tons of projects in there, and I'm lazy. I don't want to import them all again. But it's better just to say I want to get a lesson from this, don't you agree.)
Thanks to anybody who might have any kind of hint!
David
PS: Sorry if my english syntax isn't perfect. I'm trying very hard.

I didn't answered my question, but I got it to work without having to re-install.
Delete all these files and folders from the eclipse/plugins and eclipse/features folder of your Flash Builder installation folder
com.adobe.cslib
com.adobe.inverurie
com.adobe.xmp
Open the CS Extension Builder plugin package
Copy all .jar files from the plugin directory and paste them into the eclipse/plugins folder of the Flash Builder installation
Copy all .jar files from the features directory and paste them into the eclipse/features folder of the Flash Builder installation
Extract every jar (ex: com.adobe.cside.feature_2.0.0.4-33034.jar file is extracted into a com.adobe.cside.feature_2.0.0.4-33034 folder)
Delete the .jar files
Restart Flash Builder
Everything works fine so far. There is a small glitch where the "CS Extension Builder Start Page" seems to miss its stylesheet, but the panel is working anyway. At this point, it's fine by me. And I'm still not able to uninstall the plugin with the "Installed Software" window (the button is grayed out).
So much for being lazy. And for wanting to repair my mistakes, of course.

How to uninstall on Mac for customUpdateUI and disable Updater.update()?

Hi there,
I am getting a strange behavior on the Mac and see if anyone
has similar issue.
First, I deployed a
"version 1" application and installed on the machine with
customeUpdateUI=true, when the app install, it will attempt
to update using
Updater.update() in the following manner,
quote:
private function runUpdate(updatePath:String):Boolean {
if (!updatePath)
return false;
var file:File = new File(updatePath);
if (!file || !file.exists)
return false;
var updater:Updater = new Updater();
updater.update(file, "version 2");
return true;
Then I repeat the step above for
"version 2" and everything is working great. The update is
working fine on Windows and on Mac. (This code is for demo only, I
didn't hardcode the version # in the app. ;)
The problem I have is re-install.
On Windows, if you uninstall "version 1", then install
"version 2", works great
On a
Mac, if you uninstall "version 1", then install "version 2"
fails, error message for "version mismatch".
It seems there is still something left behind on the Mac when
uninstall the app, such that when I launch "version 2" install, it
is still attempting to run update from the local installed app,
rather than the update from the new installed .air file.
Anyone have similar issue? How to uninstall an AIR app on the
Mac? Do I just trash the App directory, or do I need to perform
additional clean up?
Besides trashing the app directory, I also tried to delete
anything suggest to me is Adobe AIR related info, including,
/User/Library/App Support/Adobe
/User/Library/Preferences
/Library/App Support/Adobe
Please don't hesitate to let me know if anything I can
provide to identify this issue.
Thanks in advance.
OS: Mac OS X and Tiger

Thanks for the prompt reply.
The case is on the Mac, suppose my app is call myApp.air
1. Run myApp.air, install version 1, works great
2. Make a new myApp.air, name it version 2.
3. Run myApp.air, upgrade version 1 to version 2, works
great.
4. Uninstall version 2 by delete the installation folder. For
example, if I install on /Users/MyApp, delete the folder and empty
trash.
5. Install version 2 myApp.jar, error message complains
version mismatch.
On windows, I can uninstall from Control Panel. On the Mac, I
don't know how I should remove an AIR app, and so I just went ahead
and delete the app install folder.
Thanks in advance! Really appreciate your assistance.

How do I use Extension Builder 3 with InCopy CC?

I'm interested in developing an InCopy plugin but it is not one of the targeted applications. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jack,
As you may know, the SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) calls the SharePoint Lists web services, and uses the method GetListItems to return records for a SharPoint list.
By design, the GetListItems method can only return records for each list. Also, based on my research, there is no other methods in the SharePoint Lists web services, which allow us to merge or join two or more lists.
There are some workaround for this issue:
In SSRS, in report designer, use subreport to render data from other lists.
Implement a new XML web service, in the web service, use the SharePoint API to merge or join two or more list. Then, in SSRS, retrieve data from the XML web service using XML data source type.
Anyway, it would be better if the SSRS includes the feature by default. So, I would suggest you submitting a wish at
https://connect.microsoft.com/sqlserver. If the service requests frequently, we may include it in next release.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How to Uninstall Old Versions and Install Version 6 Update 13 of Java

When I try to install Version 6 Update 13 (tried it by downloading file and doing a manual install), get this message:
bin\awt.dll:Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match.
Have tried to unintall Version 12 from "Add/Remove Programs" with no luck.
Shall I unistall all Java programs and try to reinstall?

Bailey,
This is a bit of a pain the arrse but... I suggest you disable java in all your browsers in (tools ~ options) and then reboot to ensure the java plugin is not loaded. Now try uninstalling through add-remove-programs.
If add-remove-programs doesn't work then manually delete the JRE & JDK directories in windows explorer and then run a registry-cleaner (google it, there's a few good free ones, I use registry-mechanic and crapcleaner (yes that's really what it's called)) to clean-up dangling guids, etc. Also check add-remove-programs... if any of the old Java installs still appear then try uninstalling.. they should throw some sort of "installation not found" error and remove themselves from the programs list.
Once all the old versions of Java have been removed then install the latest version, which should install it's plugins in your browser(s) and activate itself... look in (tools ~ options) again.
Check your PATH, JAVA_HOME, etc environment variables... just type "set" at the command prompt... update them to point to your new JRE (and your new JDK if you have one).
If you have a CLASS_PATH variable I recommend you copy&paste it's value into a desktop/class_path.txt and delete the variable, coz it's worse than useless.
Cheers. Keith.

CC Extension Builder

I've been trying to use Adobe Edge Code and the "CC Extension Builder" from David Daeraedt (http://davidderaedt.github.io/CC-Extension-Builder-for-Brackets/) to build an HTML5 panel for Photoshop CC 2014. Not sure what I'm doing, but I can't get started. My screens look very different from the ones I see demo'd on David's page (he's in Brackets), and nothing appears to occur when I run the extension (CC Extension Builder / New Creative Cloud Extension / Create Extension). Anyone else using this tool and having better luck than me? Looks promising, but I must be making some rookie mistake getting started.

Edge Code is a re-branding of Brackets which is currently at release 0.37, but the Extension Builder app was recently updated for the latest Brackets (which is at 0.44). You can either switch to Brackets (http://brackets.io) or try installing the CSS Extension Builder at this commit (davidderaedt/CC-Extension-Builder-for-Brackets at c1427ee203db77868c2316bddc9a3df69e7dc6fb · GitHub).

How do I install and build and extension with extension builder 2.1?

Honestly, I am beyond frustrated right now.
1. Extension Builder 3 - This will only install and run with Eclipse. JRE 1.7.
This only allows me to use Extendscript to write scripts with. Extendscript is so frustrating to use. It seems like there are a lot of missing properties for working with color models in illustrator. The documentation is also terrible for Extendscript. Something that seems like it would be simple to do like export an RGB JPEG is impossible to spec out in the EXPORT JPEG settings. Its also impossible to set the color space of a NEW AI document unless you use the add(); instead of addDocument(); There are conflicting incomplete properties of both methods. If you use one, one set of settings is missing if you use the other another set is missing... WHAT IS SOMEONE SUPPOSED TO DO???
2. Flash Builder 4.7 will not run Extension Builder 3.
3. I bought Extension Builder 2.1 which is supposed to install Flash Builder 4.6, but the installation keeps failing right at the end. This apparently also requires that you use JRE 1.6 which is not compatible with Mavericks.
This all seems impossible... how in the heck are people learning how to do build extensions, its a surprise that any exist at all. If they do They are likely not building them with the Adobe tools. I know enough about code to be dangerous but don't have a doctorate in troubleshooting all of these compatibility, and documentation issues.
All I want to do is write an extension, or a script that allows me to
1. copy the art from two layers.
2. color the background of the AI document to the background color of the original document
3. resize art from both layers to fit on a 216 x 216 pixel square.
4. Save the document as a: JPEG - ANTI-ALIAS SUPER SAMPLED - 150 DPI - RGB - MEDIUM QUALITY - CLIP TO ARTBOARD - WITH THE SAME NAME AS THE ORIGINAL FILE
I AM AT MY WITS END WITH THIS WHOLE PROCESS. I AM ABOUT TO GIVE UP UNLESS SOMEONE CAN HELP GIVE ME A LITTLE INSIGHT.

Hi,
First of all, remember that Extension Builder 2.1 only supports building Flash based extensions which have been phased out. If you are building extensions for Creative Cloud and beyond, you should use HTML5. See more info here: Introducing HTML5 extensions | Adobe Developer Connection
The installation is probably failing because you have some leftovers from a previous installation. The installer will detect if you have Flash Builder 4.5 or Flash Builder 4.6 installed (NOT Flash Builder 4.7). If it finds that you have Flash Builder 4.5/4.6 installed, it will attempt to install the plugin on top of it. If it does not detect Flash Builder 4.5/4.6, it will install Flash Builder 4.6 Premium.
I highly recommend you look into the new HTML5 extensibility. Here you can find tons of resources: Adobe CEP Resources by Adobe-CEP
Best regards,
Hallgrimur

How to create custom panel icon using Extension Builder 3?

How does one go about adding a custom icon for extension panels created with Extension Builder 3?
The default icon looks Lego-like (see below)
I'd like to replace the generic icon with an image that can visually identifies the panel even when it's collapsed.

Found it.
In Eclipse, choose Window > Open Perspective > Other > Adobe Extension Builder 3.
Right-click your project and select Adobe Extension Builder 3 -> Bundle Manifest Editor.
This editor allows you to change the properties of your extension
Bundle Manfest Editor > Extension tab (at the bottom) > User Interface tab (back at the top). Used .png images and it worked.

Thanks for your help,

Hi mlavie,
I am glad to hear that you have evaluated CSExtension Builder and thinking to purchase it. There are two ways to do this.
The one is what Davide suggested above. You need to subscribe to the Adobe Enterprise Devloper Program at this link: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/aedp.html
The other option would be to purchase it once it becomes available on the Adobe Store. Until then, you are free to use the fully functional trial version. Check out the Trial FAQ here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/creativesuite/extension-builder/cs-extension- builder-trial-faq.pdf

How to show UI created using CS Extension Builder into our menu.

hi,
I have created a UI that includes a text box and a button using "CS Extension Builder" and running as AI- CS5.
I am getting this into window-> Extension.
But I want appear this into my menu.
so I just want to know how can I do this? Does any API support this ?
thanks

Hi,
You could try taking a look at the sample extensions that come with Extension Builder - you can go to File > Import... > Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder > Remote Creative Suite SDK Samples to get them.
CSXS Extensions can do a lot more than just act as UI for native plug-ins, they can also hook into the applications' scripting DOMs, and do anything else that an Air app can do. Extension Builder is primarily designed to let you create fully fledged standalone flash panels, so when you create a new extension it may well include stuff that you, as a native plug-in developer who only wants to use Extension builder to create a simple front end, might not want.
For the .as files - when I'm writing extensions (or any flash/air app) I prefer to write as much of my code as possible in ActionScript (so the .as files) and as little as possible in MXML. I think the sample extensions that come with the Illustrator SDK are so simple that they only contain one MXML file with ActionScript embedded in script tags. Either approach is fine, one is a little cleaner and allows you to structure your code in a nicer way, the other is simpler, you can use either approach.
Note that when you create a new extension Extension Builder generates boiler plate code for you (including the .as file you talked about). Feel free to delete that if you don't want it. It is only there as a guide, some basic code to start with, not something that you have to keep. You can structure your code however you like, you just need a .swf at the end of the day (well, and the manifest file discussed above). You can also remove the actionscript libraries if you aren't using them (e.g. the Illustrator CSAW library) by right clicking the project and going to Properties > CS Extension Builder Libraries. These libraries are for interacting with the Illustrator scripting DOM (there are InDesign, Photoshop, Bridge, ... equivalents too), and you probably don't need that here.
Let me know if you have any more questions,
Louis

How to correctly uninstall Adobe Extension Manager CS4 (Mac)

I would like to uninstall Adobe Extension Manager CS4 from my Mac, but so far I haven't been able to find any answers on how to do this properly (or at all.) I've successfully uninstalled all CS4, CS5 and CS6 applications; I also ran the Adobe CS4 Clean Script, to no avail.
I am trying to reclaim space (I only use Creative Cloud) and reduce clutter on my system.
I would appreciate any help/suggestions on this matter.
