How to uninstall Elements 8?

Question

I installed Elements 10, but when I tried to uninstall Elements 8 I get, "Error 1316. A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file C:\Windows\Installer\AdobePhotoshopElements8.0.msi"  I searched the web and found one set of instuctions to manually remove the folder and registry entries.  The folders were easy, but the registry instructions appear to be for previous versions of Windows.  Are there any instructsion for Windows 7?

Answer 1

Actually, I spoke too soon.  When I checked I an only find about half of
the items listed.  I cannot find HKCR\Software|Adobe\Elements Organizer nor
Photoshop elements.  In HKCR\Software\Adobe\ folder there is only Acrobat.
In HKLM\Software there is no Adobe subfolder.
Also, it isn't clear to me what it means to remove the registry entry.  Do
I delete the subfolder or something else.  For exampe
HKLM\Software\Classes\Installer\UpgradeCodes\5C1E2F4B17C6F69...  is listed
as a subfolder and in the right panel it has 2 items with their names
(Default and C73EFD71E...) the type (REG_SZ for both) and Data ("value not
set" on the first and blank on the second).  So do I delete the subfolder
or an item in the subfolder.
Sorry for the questions, but I'm finding this difficult.
