I can not uninstall CS2 because it never finished installing

Question

I have been attempting to install Adobe Acrobat CS2 on my Windows Vista computer. I was told that my original Acrobat 7.0 program had problems and would not work so I was told to download the CS2 program. Everytime I try to install it I get an error message stating that it can not access the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX. This folder is a "read only". It has 4 files in it AcroIEHelper.dll, AcroPDF.dll, GbDetect.dll and pdfshell.dll. I can not delete any of these files.
I was sent an e-mail that took me to a "discussion" telling me to uninstall Acrobat 7.0 using Control Panel - Add Remove Programs. However, since the program never fully installed it is not listed on Add Remove Programs. Does anyone have any idea how I can get this program to work?
Microsoft has told me to use the cmd prompt and the command rd  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0" /s /q  to delete the folder, but it does not work. All I get is "Access is Denied"  I've tried using the Explorer but am told that that procedure needs permission. I'm logged in as the Administrator.

See the response to the other thread you started.
Acrobat 7 is not compatible with any 64-bit version of Windows.
And there is no such beast as Adobe Acrobat CS2. The version of Acrobat that came with CS2, if I recall correctly was Acrobat 7 Pro.
And for that matter, current Macintoshes won't be able to run any CS2 software either. You are talking about software that is at this point 10 years and anywhere between 4 and 6 versions out of date.

PS:     I suspect that you never did have Acrobat 7 or Creative Suite 2 installed on this VIsta x64 system. What was it previously installed on? The only systems that supported Acrobat 7 under Windows were Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 2000. And what media are you using to install the software from? The original media and software for these versions do no longer install and activate.
