Problem completely uninstalling Photoshop Elements 10

How do I completely uninstall Photoshop Elements 10? I have already gone to the uninstall program, and it uninstalled it, however it is stil on my computer. When I go to Adobe it is still there, when I try to delete it, this is the message that I get: You require permission from SYSTEM to make changes to this folder.
I have no idea what this means, or what to do about it. I have installed Photoshop Elements 11.
I'm running Windows 7 (64 bit).

Permissions issue means you need to be logged in as Admin in order to uninstall PSE10. If that doesn't work, please download CS Cleaner tool from : CSCleaner and run it as Admin, thereby uninstalling all left out traces of PSE10.
Let me know if you need more help on this.
Thanks

I uninstall Photoshop Elements 11 due to problems and cannot reinstall it

Hi,
I uninstall Photoshop Elements 11 due to problems and cannot reinstall it.
When I run the installation setup file, the application offer me only to uninstall the previous installation.
As there is no application available (as I uninstall it), the installation process stops.
I've tried to clean the registry, manually uninstall using the Adobe recommandation for the Photoshop Elements 11.
Impossible to obtain a recovery of the installation process.
Thanks for helping
Regards

That's a tough one, and since you speak english and am not an Elements expert, I moved this thread to the Photoshop Elements forum.

Problem uninstalling photoshop elements

can anybody help me uninstall photoshop elements -I had a problem with this program after loading from a DVD, the organiser works but not the editor.However on trying to uninstall i received the error message 1306: a file ProgramData......./Thumbdatabase.db3 could not be uninstalled because another file has exclusive access -it appears the file is open in the editor ???. Can anyone help

Restart the computer and see if that frees the lock. If not run Task Manager and end any task that has the word 'Elements' in it.

How to completely delete Photoshop Elements from my computer??

Hi
I am trying to completely remove Photoshop Elements from my computer.   So far, I have failed in my attempts to do this.   The reason I'm doing this is b/c for some reason that I can't fathom, the folders in My Pictures -- the folders named by shot date -- contain random duplicates.When this happens, the file names folow the convention of DSC_0222 and DSC_0222-1. Exactly the same file size and metadata. In some folders, every picture is duplicated. In other folders, only selected pitcures within the folder are duplicated.   I can't figure out how they got there -- e.g. it doesn't seem to bear any connection to the photos I've edited, which was one theory I had for a while.   Is Elements responsible? Or is this some sort of bug in the download process from the camera (I have a Nikon D40). Anyway, I've given up on trying to sovle this problem and decided I would go back to the beginning and reload everything from my camera.   So, my real question here is about how to completely uninstall Elements.
Here's what I did:    I uninstalled Photoshop Elements through the Add/remove programs utility. I got no errors during the uninstall process.   Then I completely deleted the My Pictures directory (don't worry -- I have it backed up in multiple places!!).   So, at this point there are *no* pictures on my computer at all.    I reinstall Elements, open it up and -- you guessed it!!! -- the catalog is still there with all the thumbnails of the pictures that i deleted from my hard disk.   Of course, each thumbnail is flagged as "Missing File".
So, how do I uninstall/reinstall Elements and get it to forget all memory of the previous catalog?   Why is it "remembering" it in this way when the pictures aren't even on the computer anymore? Isn't this a bug???
I've been working on this issue for much longer than I care to remember-- if anyone can tell me how to get myself truly back to ground-zero so I can start over I would be deeply grateful.   After upgrading to Elements 9 (from 7) to try to solve this problem I am close to just abandoning Elements entirely.....
WHile we're at it, if anyone has any idea where the duplicates pictures are coming from and how I prevent that from happening, I'm' all ears!!!!
Thanks!

Hi
Thanks so much for the response.   So, Help/System Info says that the catalog is here:
Catalog Location: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\My Catalog\
but no such file appaers to exist. In fact, I can only get as far as All Users.   Then there is no directory under that called "Application Data".
i'm still seeing the thumbnails when I got into Elements tho'....   :-(

I'm having problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.

I'm having problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.
The problem is right at the end of installation, it (the Install Shield Wizard) says status is registering and then immediately does an action rollback.
The message I get is:
'The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run the installation again.'
If anyone can offer some help, please, that would be great.
Thanks.
Grant.

Problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 - Rollback action issue.

Im having problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.
The problem is right at the end of installation, it says status is registering and then immediately does an action rollback.
The message "The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again."
I have also created a new administrator account and after rebooting tried to install it but with the same result. It appears to get to the end of the program install but falls over just before the Organiser install. There are no error messages. AV and surplus programs have been stopped. Desktop clean up run. XP machine well within required spec.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Hi
Thanks for your reply. Antivirus and security software all turned off. I have tried all the solutions in the troubleshoot section but still having the same problem.
Much obliged

Problem with registering Photoshop elements 13

Hello,
it would be great if somebody could help with the following.
I have problems with regstering Photoshop elements 13.
The problem is described in Anmeldungs-, Aktivierungs- oder Verbindungsfehler | CC, CS6, CS5.5
I tried with all 4 offered troubleshootinh steps and found no issues -> I can access http://www.adobe.com, https://www.adobe.com and https://lm.licenses.adobe.com, firewall is switched off, time is correctly set and global sign root CA is installed in my trusted root store ...I still I cannot access adobe's registration server and complete registration.
Interestingly the following web page is offline: www.adobe.com/go/getactivated_de
Any ideas what could be the problem?
Is the registration service offline for German customers?
Am i missing something?
Thanks!
Kind Regards,
Stephan

After unzipping Photoshop Elements 13, I received a error message saying
that PSE had detected an impending shutdown of my computer, and that I
should shutdown and restart the computer. I had two button choices:
ignore or quit. Given those choices, I quit, then shutdown the computer
and restarted. I again unzipped PSE and attempted an install. This time I
got a error message saying an installer was already running and I should
shut it down. Having no clue as to how to shut down an installer, I
attempted (FOR 6 HOURS) to obtain assistance from Adobe technical support
and either waited for a return call, waited on hold, attempted to
communicate with someone who I could not understand from India, or was told
technical support was not available on the phone for PSE. I finally gave
up and went to Chat. There, attempting to explain what the problem was,
(see above), I guess I took too long to respond, the chatter closed the
chat, and I was not able to reconnect to chat. After 5 attempts were
denied, I contacted a friend who has computer operations experience. After
an hour of attempting various things, he told me to hit "ignore". PSE
installed correctly and I'm now using it. This was an extremely shoddy
performance by Adobe -- first a glitch in the install process, and then no
help from tech support.

Problem with installing Photoshop elements 9 and adobe support advisor

Hi, I've received a graphic tablet with 2 programs: the first has been downloaded and works perfectly while the second, PSE9, has been giving me problems for at least a week!
I downloaded it and now I have a winzip file full of strange things (one of this is set up exe which tells me that I have to install adobe support advisor) and two files which said 3DF.tmp and PSEP9(1).zip.download and if I try to click them they tell me that I have to find on the Net the program to open them because I can't. And I don't know which program is required.
I tried a lot of times to download the adobe support advisor, I have enough space on my disc and my farewall is deactivated, but when the program begins I saw this annoyant message
cpsid_82829s5 Missing installation file bootstrapper error occured
with this code for a support from adobe 00-67325-032018052012
I unistalled it and retried, but nothing.
Please, I just want to use my tablet with the programs which are comprised in the package, why it's so difficult to download this damn photoshop elements 9????????????
Thank you

In the error message it doesn't tell me
"Installer has detected that a machine restart is pending. It is recommended that you quit the installer, restart try again,"
neither "Installer failed to initialize. File not found. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
and I have enough space and I have Windows xp then I should be able to install it. I tried to unistall and install again the support advisor but nothing. I'm desperate.

How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs

How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs. I have looked on my hard drive extensively for a library or utility folder that would have an uninstall program, nothing. I want to install Elements 9, but have found out that Elements 9 does not remove Elements 6, so I want to remove elements 6 first.

Strange that PSE6 does not show up via the control pane.
I wouldn’t worry about uninstalling it. The two versions sit happily side by side and PSE6 takes up hardly any file space compared with PSE9.

1) Apps are not part of the backup, only data stored by 3rd party apps. But you can redownload the apps for free again if you use the same account you did when you bought them the first time. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
2) See this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 and find out what's in your backup.
3) Backup your itunes+ library (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1382 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751), which will copy your Mobile Applications folder, and save your iphone backup folder as well
In other words, maintaining a backup of your computer is essential.
When you resync your apps from your computer to the phone, make sure your computer is authorized again. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420

How do I uninstall Photoshop Elements 4.0 on a Mac?

I need to uninstall Photoshop Elements 4.0, it seems to be missing some information in the tutorials and in Bridge. I am on a Mac G5, OS 10.4.11
Thank you.

I'd just trash it but to be sure you do it right I'd ask in the Elements forum since most Photoshop users don't use Elements.
