How can I uninstall InDesign CS6 from Windows 8?

InDesign started acting all whackadoodle* a couple of days ago.
I decided that uninstalling and reinstalling would be easier than trying to figure out exactly what's wrong. Ha! Sucker!**
InDesign does not appear in the trusty ol' Control Panel programs list, and therefore cannot be uninstalled the way every other Windows program can be uninstalled.
What do I do now?

HT1925 Can't Uninstall iTunes from my Window XP machine

The iTunes update site said nothing about uninstalling in a particular order. So I uninstalled the first component I came to in Control Panel which was "Apple Mobil Device Support". Now I can't uninstall iTunes. It tells me it is located in a network device which is not available to me, but it is on my "C" drive. How do I uninstall iTunes now? I can't install the new version till I get rid of the old. Help?

Now I can't uninstall iTunes. It tells me it is located in a network device which is not available to me,
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I can't uninstall Thunderbird from my Windows Programs "uninstall list"; why does it not uninstall and be removed from this list?

Very frustrating...under the Windows "Programs/Uninstall a program" list, Mozilla Thunderbird is still listed AFTER I have removed it completely (I thought) from my computer. I have clicked on "uninstall" several times and nothing happens. I resent the fact that Mozilla has set this up so that it apparently can't be removed from that list.. What's that all about? I have tried to research the problem, even using your website to no avail. All I want to do is get it out of my uninstall/change list. I have not used that program AND won't use it. I don't want that program on my computer/list period. I would appreciate your help.

This is a fault with Windows application management. Mozilla does nothing to interfere with the install/uninstall process.
You could re-install Thunderbird to re-synch the applications list and then un-install it again, or you could use a utility to remove it from the list.
A search for ''thunderbird.exe'' will confirm whether or not it has been truly removed, though you may need to disable all the idiot-proofing that Microsoft implement to stop us seeing the true state of the file system; set it to show hidden files and file extensions for starters.
Thunderbird is pretty much self-contained. You are free to manually remove the folder the application lives in if Windows is unable to uninstall it for you, though that won't fix the incorrect appearance of thunderbird in the list of installed applications.

CAN'T UNINSTALL ALL FILES WITH WINDOWS

In trying to move Photoshop Album 2 Starter Edition from my "C" drive to my "D" drive it became corrupted and the Uninstall file became disconnected from the program. I downloaded it from the web again and was able to use the Windows XP uninstall to remove it. But, after doing so I ran a search of my computer and found the following two files still on my "C" drive: Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 Starter Edition and Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 Starter Edition.msi. When I click on the program file I get an error dialog box noting:"Photoshop Album cannot start or continue because of missing file(s). Please reinstall."
The second (.msi) file appears to be an installer file located in: "C\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations\{30F65707-62BC-4443-BB21-86DA6E7F8A55}"
My question is: can I simply click on delete for these two files or do I have to go into the registry to remove either of these. And, if so, which registry keys do I need to change/remove?
Now that there is a Photoshop Album 3.0 Starter Edition, I want to download and install it, but on my "D" drive.
If anyone can help me figure this out I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi,
Uninstalling software does not always remove all the files from the system, Decent software manufactures often inform you that not all files have been removed, and suggest that they can be deleted via Windows Explorer.
If these "left behind" files are non executionable, that is, they don't start the application, then there will be no problem sending them to the recycling bin.

I can't uninstall quick time on Windows XP

I really messed this whole thing up...I'm trying to run Avid Free DV and it requires an old version of Quick Time so I got the old version and tried to uninstall the version I had but it said that the current QT was on a network that wasn't available to me and it wouldn't let me uninstall it so I got rid of the whole folder (which really messed things up) so now I'm screwed, blued and tatooed (excuse my french) PLEASE SAVE ME!!!

it said that the current QT was on a network that wasn't available to me and it wouldn't let me uninstall it so I got rid of the whole folder
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. 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. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
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 QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

HELP!!! Can't uninstall Acrobat 8 in WIndows XP

I used my copy on my previous computer running Windows 2000 but it doesn't work on this one running Windows XP. It installs and starts and freezes with the overlay "What do you want to do". I've tried to uninstall and it freezes halfway through the uninstall. I've reinstalled and uninstalled. I even renamed the file after one of the installs and it still has a lock on files even with the wrong directory name. I've gone into safe mode and tried to uninstall and remove files. This is the full Acrobat 8 program
I have the Acrobat 9 reader installed but how do I get rid of Acrobat 8??
THANKS

Download the utility http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 and run to cleanup Acrobat 8

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Perhaps the reason no one has answered your inquiry is because there is no Windows 8.1 Driver for your little printer.
Reference:
HP Photosmart 145 Compact Photo Printer Drivers
I am certainly not a printer Expert. These things have a habit of not working out: You could try downloading the Windows 7 64bit driver and running it in compatibility mode.
Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows
Do create a Restore Point before you make any changes to your computer so you don't dig a hole from which you cannot extract yourself:
Create a Restore Point: Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8

Acrobat 9 standard can't make pdf and can't uninstall or reinstall

952 update killed the pdf printer. Gone. Adobe guy in India couldn't fix it by taking over my computer. He deleted something in printers and faxes and then I got the put in the windows cd for files message. I did a system restore and the PDF printer came back, but now nothing works. Can't uninstall it either in windows or with uninstall programs downloaded from web. In Windows I get the message "This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer package." Can't reinstall it with the cd either. Same message. Will have to try to call India Monday morning. (Gee, I work Saturday, why can't they.) I don't have a good feelling about this.
Meanwhile, I downloaded PrimoPDF for free and it works a charm. Maybe I'll stick with that. Can't beat the price.

India lady said she would "escalate" and someone would call me withing 24 hours. Nobody called. Too bad, twist slowly in the wind seems to be Adobe's message. I own a jewelry store and I do whatever it takes to take care of my customers. Meanwhile, I paid for their product which was working fine until their update and now it doesn't. Not only no pdf printer, but distiller won't even open. Hangs up and I have to CTRL ALT DEL to shut it down. Manual PDF printer install asks for i386, a windows folder. I have it. It lives in Windows>driver cache but the install doesn't see it. Is there no one at Adobe with the knowledge to fix this? Will Adobe do whatever it takes? If they don't, I will do whatever it takes to get them to do whatever it takes. Grrrr.

I can't uninstall firefox

I can't uninstall firefox..
If i go to control panel or helper.exe i get this message:
"Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade from firefox. Do you want to restart now?"
picture: http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/1850/messagebi.png (It's dutch)
Even if i restart my computer then i still get the same message..
And if i want to install the newest firefox i also get that message.
I just want to re-install firefox because i can't upgrade.. So i just want a clean firefox again.

If you can't uninstall Firefox via the Windows Control Panel then try to remove the Firefox program folder on the hard drive.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that makes it possible to uninstall Firefox or remove the files.

Error 2330, Windows Vista - Can't uninstall or Reinstall ITunes

Itunes was working fine for quite awhile, but now when I access the store to download another song the store shows up but almost immediately blanks out to a white screen with only header info on it, no details.
When Itunes starts up, I get a message saying that there is a problem with the installation and CD downloads will not work.
I have tried reinstalling Itunes and Quicktime from the apple website. Also, uninstalling both from the Windows control settings. QT gets uninstalled and reinstalled fine. I get error 2330 with no other information when trying to reinstall or uninstall Itunes.
Have tried clearing out the TEMP folder and also doing selective startup as directed on the apple help tips. Still no luck.
Does anyone have suggestions how to resolve the 2330 error and why I am getting it?
THANK YOU !!

I had this same issue with the iTunes store loading then going to a blank white screen straight after. I then checked for updates, installed everything it told me to (Safari, Quicktime, iTunes). However after everything installed it cut my internet connection. I was able to browse the internet for about a minute before I completely lost my internet connection.
I called my router manufacturer, they could not resolve my issue as the other PC's could access the internet so I knew it was iTunes/Safari/Quicktime. I did a system restore (I am using Windows Vista), that did not work. I searched on the other PC for help and found somewhere to uninstall network adaptors under the device manager. That just took away all my applications that pointed towards the internet so I did another system restore to bring them back, but this however fixed my issue. I did have to re-access my router from my computer by prompting it to reconnect to my ISP and then I got my internet back.
But, I can't access my iTunes or listen to my music.
