PrE8 Will not uninstall/reinstall

I put in a new drive and formatted the partition PE was on (trying to reduce partitions and add physical drives), failed to uninstall programs thinking they would just reinstall over into the new drive.  Every time I run the installer, it says I am trying to run from a CD (I guess the drive letter that it used to use is now a potential CD drive and it's looking for the uninstaller).  I've been trying to remove all registry entries, but I think I have 1000 more to go.  There must be a cleanup utility?  Can you help, I need to continue some editing work.  This is the only program that I think is beyond my ability to fix as I removed others and reinstalled and have been losing sleep trying to get this up and running.  I will be fine putting it right in C but it wants to use J since that was where it was installed. Thanks.

There are a number of utilities for clearing your registry, including EasyCleaner.
The best for your situation is Adobe's Cleaner Tool.

  • Fire Fox v3.6.3 will not run in normal or safe mode, also will not uninstall

    FF v 3.6.3 for windows vista will not open and run in normal or safe mode, FF will not uninstall from folder or add/remove programs, tried to reinstall from Mozilla site did not work. Internet Explorer also will not run and crashes. I am using Safari it runs fine no problems. FF has been crashing for about a week unexpectedly but will reopen and run, but will not run at all now..?
    == Crash ID(s) ==
    ID: e3f78c3f-b182-44a9-8ef6-ca84c2100617

    From the Crash ID information, it seems this is related to the AVG antivirus, version 8.5. If possible, please try updating you AVG installation (the program) to latest version; according to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=547210 Bug 547210] AVG has released an update May 17. to AVG version 9 that should fix this problem.
    Please let us know if this fixes the problem with Firefox crashing.

  • OEI will not uninstall

    We have a problem in which Outlook Email Integration will not uninstall. In Windows XP, in Control Panel | using Add/Remove Software, OEI goes through the uninstall process but it doesn't actually get removed. There is still an entry in Add/Remove Software. OEI will not install because it still detects a previous install.
    Is there a way to manually uninstall all traces of OEI so we can reinstall it?
    Additional Info: All users are local admins.
    I have fixed this on one computer by doing a System Restore and backing it up to a Restore Point before OEI was installed but would rather not have to perform a System Restore each time this happens.
    Edited by: user9356771 on Mar 17, 2010 2:22 PM

    Make sure that when you uninstall OEI that you do not have MS Outlook loaded.

  • HT1923 apple mobile device support will not uninstall

    I'm trying to remove and reinstall itunes, the program "apple mobile device support" will not uninstall.

    You could try downloading and installing 7-Zip (free) and downloading a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe installer, unpack the installer into its components using 7-Zip then try installing AppleApplicationSupport again. It may still fail to install but you may get more useful error messages as to why not.

  • I upgraded from 3.6.13 to Beta 4.0 and now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing.

    I uninstalled Beta 4 and re-installed 3.6.13 now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing, I have been using Firefox for a long time but cannot resolve this problem can anyone help and give me a solution please. As I use Firefox as my web browser it is very frustrating.
    The fact it will not uninstall appears to be something completely new as nobody I know who uses Firefox has ever encountered this in the past.

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

  • I have installed a free download from an older version adobe reader and it will not uninstall?

    Most programs unistall easily from the control panels add/remove programs icon application.
    This older version i installed on my computer will not uninstall.
    Any sggestions.
    It tends to stall out or not uninstall at all.
    There is not even an unistall choice available any more on the add/remove programs.

    You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous version(s) of Reader:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • "Apple Mobile Device Support" will NOT uninstall from my computer, so I am still unable to upload iTunes

    "Apple Mobile Device Support" will NOT uninstall from my computer so I am still unable to upload iTunes.  I have tried it multiple times in multiple ways and after the uninstall always fails.  Solutions to this specific problem?

    I don't know... A link to the official repair advice is given at the top of my user tip. There was a new build of the iTunes 11.1.4.62 setup file released yesterday which is supposed to install cleanly on any system still back on iTunes 11.1.3.8, however they are still giving the same advice for problem systems that have already been upgraded. I.e. the new installer won't repair a currently borked install.
    You can download 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and unpack the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file into its components, then try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). AMDS might not install right now, but you may get a more useful error message as to why not, and you might be able to run iTunes even if you can't update your devices at this stage.

  • QuickTime 7.3.1 will not uninstall

    I tried to update to version 7.4.14 but the older version will not uninstall. I get a splash screen that says "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resourse that is unavailable" it goes on to say "Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'QuickTime.msi' in the box below. I've got the install exe for 7.3.1 but do not know how to extract the QuickTime.msi from it because when I run the old executable for 7.3.1 I get the same splash sceen above. Doee anyone know how to resolve this?

    +the older version will not uninstall. I get a splash screen that says "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resourse that is unavailable" it goes on to say "Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'QuickTime.msi' in the box below.+
    With that complex of symptoms, let's try the following procedure.
    Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those QuickTime entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
    7. Restart your computer.
    Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Java Runtime will not uninstall!

    I just tried to install sun's java vm (v.1.4.1_02), but nearing the end of the installation, the install would not go any further so I had to cancel. Now my system says that the runtime environment is installed, but if I try to uninstall it in the control panel (I'm running xp), the uninstall fails. Everything seems to go ok, but when finished, the java entry is still there in my control panel. Please help. Thank you.

    I have the same problem. I had two versions and the latest uninstalled but the 1.4.0_01 will not uninstall or at least it still exists in my control panel. I want to completely start over with java but I don't want mulitple versions at the same time. Please help or direct me to the answers to completely remove java.
    thanks

  • PS 5 will not uninstall

    This will not uninstall under any circumstances. I keep getting a message to close Photoshop.exe, but is not open. It is closed. Help.

    Hi Iwasgr8,
    Even though CS% Photoshop might be closed there might be a process running in the background.
    Please open task manager and go to processes and right click on the Photoshop.exe and choose  "end process tree".
    If the error still persists restart the machine and then try to uninstall.
    Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.
