How to Uninstall FB 4.5 to Install FB 4.6?

Hi,
I would really like to use the features in Flash Builder 4.6, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to uninstall Flash Builder 4.5 so that I can then install 4.6!
Adobe's instructions found here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/921/cpsid_92180.html   just tell you to remove the old and install the new.
However, all of my versions of FB 4.5 were installed as part of Adobe Master Collection CS 5.5.   
There is no option anywhere I can find to uninstall just the FB 4.5 component of CS 5.5!
I posted this question on Adobe's Flash Builder Facebook page, on their announcement thread, but received no reply.
When 4.5.1 was released in June which allowed us to output to iOS and Blackberry,  it was included as part of the Adobe Updates process.
However,  according to the Flash Builder Facebook post,  this release (4.6) will not be provided that way.  Instead you are told to manually uninstall 4.5 and then install 4.6.
Which would be great if there was a way to uninstall just that portion of the adobe suite! 
I'm on a merry-go-round!  :-)
Has anyone done this, know how to remove a single software tool from the Master Collection suite?
Thanks!

Hi Shannon,
I'm having the exact same problem and I cannot believe your question hasn't been answered yet!
Also, I expected a lot more people to have this same problem.
I encountered an entry on the stackoverflow website, was that you?
Quote:
     " I've flashbuilder 4.6 and I need to uninstall it. It appears to be missing the installation package, and as such it doesn't appear in the control panel->uninstall list for windows 7.  I have filed a case with adobe for help (as its a paid product), but after month & 1/2 no answer. So any suggestions on how to get rid of it including any links it will have to the registry or similar. It must be a clean uninstall as to install the newer version the current one must be removed and the newer version installation knows that I have it (previous version) installed already.
I have tried the uninstall tool called Revo as well without success.
Cheers."
This person answered his/her own question:
Quote:
"What I needed to do was to find the exact version of the software I used to install it originally. Then once I ran the installer, (for the already installed software) windows picked up the installation packager and I could uninstall it.
Once removed I could then install the newer version of the same software."
I hope this was you and you have found your answer already, but I will try this one and see if it works for me too.  I'm not sure yet
Help from Adobe on this will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks for your post!

  • How to uninstall Adobe Edge Reflow after installing Adobe Edge Reflow CC

    After installing Adobe Edge Reflow CC via Creative Cloud I have noticed I still have Adobe Edge Reflow on my machine.
    There is no specific uninstaller in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers
    So how do I uninstall it?

    Jarrid it sounds like you may be having more severe issues since this is the second program you are now stating you are not able to uninstall.
    I would recommend you uninstall all currently installed Adobe Creative software using the uninstallers in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once this is done you can use the  CS Cleaner Tool to verify a complete removal.  You can find details at CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

    Thank you for your help!!

  • How to uninstall java 6, because of installed java 8

    Hi.
    I have yosemite running on my mac.
    I've needed java, so I installed it from
    Java for OS X 2014-001
    OK so far.
    I downloaded eclipse and wanted to code some stuff as I realized that I need Java JRE 1.8
    So I downloaded and installed it:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.h tml
    The issue I have is, that I do not have the possibility to code under 1.8,
    all I have in /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines is 1.6.0.jdk
    Also the class path under eclipse (LUNA) looks strange, means that there is an entry for JVM ... 1.6
    Any ideas how to fix that?
    Thanks a lot in advance

  • How do uninstall ACR 8.1 RC to ACR 7.4?

    I used ACR7.4 to reinstall by AAM, but it's fail.
    The fail code is U44M2P7.
    How do uninstall CR8.1 RC to install CR7.4?
    Thank you.

    You're most welcome, but I made an error in that post as I forgot that the location of the ACR plug-in has been switched in Lion and Mountain Lion from the Root Library to the User Library.  The screen shot I posted earlier shows Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  My bad.  Sorry.
    Therefore, for your Mountain Lion 10.8.4 I should have indicated as follows:
    Just remember you want the User Library (~/Library) which is normally hidden from you.  You do not want your Root Library.which is totally hidden from you so you cannot access it.
    In your Mountain Lion you'll access that folder through the GO menu in the Finder, like this:
    Methods to Temporarily Reveal the ~/Library Folder
    Perhaps the easiest way to temporarily reveal the ~/Library folder is to open Finder. On the menu bar, at the top, select Go to reveal the drop-down menu and then hold down the Option key (marked ALT) and you will see the ~/Library folder appear. You may now select this ~/Library folder with your mouse or trackpad.
    As soon as you release the Option key, the ~/Library folder will be hidden once more.
    The following link takes you to an illustrated tutorial on accessing the User Library:
    http://mac.tutsplus.com/tutorials/productivity/how-to-reveal-your-library-folder-in-lion-o r-mountain-lion/
    My apologies for the confusion. 

  • I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how  to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard?

    Hello,
    I have installed mountain lion on my macbook pro ,but it made my mac very slow. Would someone please tell me how  to uninstall this one and reinstall snow leopard? I tried to do it by my original CDs but macbook  pro didn't let me to do it.
    Thanks

    It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
    I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.
    Disclaimer: Although EtreCheck is free, there are other links on my site that could give me some form of compensation, financial or otherwise.

  • I updated to Yosemite on my Mac. Firefox then began to freeze. I uninstalled Firefox and then downloaded/installed it again. How do I recover bookmarks, etc?

    I updated to Yosemite on my iMac. Firefox then began to freeze. I uninstalled Firefox and then downloaded/installed it again. It's possible I uninstalled everything Mozilla related. I'm not sure. How do I recover bookmarks, passwords, etc? I don't believe I previously had a username & password for Mozilla. I do have my Mac backed up in Time machine and also a Carbon Copy Clone.
    Also, I was able to migrate setting from Safari. Perhaps I don't want some of that stuff? Looking at the list of installed plugins, I have no clue if they're standard Apple/Mozilla stuff, or if they were selected by me/my family earlier in Safari? Are any of them a threat to my online security?
    Any detailed instruction would be most appreciated. I'm not much of a tech guy.
    Thanks.

  • How do I uninstall snow leopard and re-install OSX leopard?

    How do I uninstall snow leopard and re-install OSX leopard?

    Sorry to hear that, Snow Leopard runs as fast or faster than either Tiger and Leopard did on my Jan 2006 Early Intel iMac on 2GB of RAM?
    Before you blame Snow Leopard, run the Extended Apple Hardware Test and check the SMART status of your Hard Drive to make sure that you do not have another problem.
