PSE 13 installation freezes, can't uninstall

I've been trying to install the downloaded trial for several days. For the first 4 or 5 times the computer would crash as soon as it got to about 18%. Now it's not crashing, but it is freezing (I let it run for about 24 hours) and I can't uninstall without it crashing or freezing. The uninstall stops at 2%, and the only way to use my computer is to restart it completely.
I am running Windows 8.1 64-bit, have lots of disk space and memory, turned off my virus protection and firewall, and have been trying to install as an administrator. At this point I would just like to get the program off my computer. I've wasted the better part of two days trying to get it to install.
Any ideas? TIA -

Yes, I Presenter 7 was installed before Presenter 8.  I have Windows 7.
I found my old thread here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5080369
I followed that.  Here is what I have done:
I ran the reg file from http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2012/08/resolution-adobe-presenter-8-installer-issue.html
I deleted all the folders and files related to Presenter 7 or 8 in
C Drive> Users > Your User Name>App Data > Local > Adobe >
and App Data > Roaming > Adobe >
I reinstalled everything.
So far so good.

  • ITunes upgrade installation cancelled - Can't uninstall or complete install

    Hi All
    I have tried upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3 today and it took forever to install. During the installation process I stopped the install which also took a long time to stop. I CtrlAltDeleted and stopped this task. The problem is, I can no longer access iTunes via the desktop shortcut. An error message says "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed". I have tried downloading iTunes v 9.0.3 again from the Apple website and tried installing over the top but I then get the following message "Another Installation is in Progress. You must complete the installation before continuing this one". I have also tried uninstalling all Apple products from my computer but I get the same message that I must complete the install before continuing with the install.
    I have also downloaded Windows Installer Clean Up Installation Wizard to try I clean up my installs but I then get the following message when I try and install this "Error 1500. Another installation is in progress. You must complete this installation before continuing this one.
    All I want to do, is either remove the current partial install of iTunes so I can reinstall my original version or complete the partial install.
    Can someone please help me out?????
    Thanks

    Have a similar problem trying to install iTunes after a comlete removal based on the instructions from Apple I keep on getting the message "registering iTunes automation server". The installation process stops there and then. Repeated removals of the installation including the Temp folder and reinstalling iTunes doesn't help. Even tried an install of QuickTime before the install of iTunes. Again the installation stops at exactly the same point. I do restart the computer every time after the removal of the software. Does anyone have any other suggestions I could follow up? Thanks for the eventual suggestions.

  • Presenter 9 installation failed - can't uninstall v.8, does not appear in control panel

    I am trying to install Presenter 9, but I am getting an error that says "A conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe Presenter 9.0 exists on this computer.  The conflicting version must be removed before installing from the current media.".  From what I have read on the forums, I am interpreting this to mean I should uninstall Presenter 8 first.  According to the instructions, I should be able to remove it using the Programs and Features control panel, but Presenter does not appear there (if I open PPT it is still there, so I know v.8 is still installed).  I have tried using the AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool but Presenter does not appear as an option for removal.  Can you please tell me how I can uninstall Presenter 8 so I can install Presenter 9? I am using PPT 2010 32 bit and trying to install Presenter 9 32 bit.  Thanks.

  • My mac keeps freezing...How can I uninstall lion?

    My mac keeps freezing on me, particularly when Im on safari. The most annoying part is that it happens three or four times in a matter of an hour, and then Im prompted to submit a report that feels like a joke considering that we have yet to see an update for lion solving this issue, and the problem persists. How can I uninstall lion and get macs previous iOS back?

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • Can't uninstall an old version of PSE!

    I'm trying to uninstall an old version of PSE 6 from my computer. I've followed all the instructions as copied below, but I can only find the uninstaller for PSE 13, which I just installed today.
    Under the  /Applications/ Utilities/ Adobe Installers folder, I have 3 items:
    • Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit 2
    • Adobe Photoshop Elements 6
    • Uninstall Photoshop Elements 13
    Nothing that I can see to uninstall PSE 6.  Can anyone help me figure this out?
    Open Finder and navigate to /Applications/ Utilities/Adobe Installers. 
    Start the Uninstaller for contents or application.
    Uninstall Adobe Premiere Elements content
    Uninstall Adobe Premiere Elements
                                 Or
    Adobe Photoshop Elements Content
    Adobe Photoshop Elements
    If you're not planning on reinstalling the application, select Remove Preferences. Otherwise, do not select this option.. 
    Click Uninstall. 

    The pse 6 uninstaller is the one that says Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 in
    /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers
    You might want to consider just leaving pse 6 installed so if you need any of the features that were removed from pse 13 or need to run older 32 bit plugins, since pse 13 only can use 64 bit plugins.
    If you really want to get rid of pse 6, unistall pse 13 first, then unistall pse 6 and reinstall pse 13.

  • Downloaded security update 2014-002 now computer is freezing. Can I uninstall it?

    Can I uninstall security update for Lion 2014-002? Afte repairing permissions before and after the download, the computer is freezing and needs restarting if not in use for several minutes.

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report—it will be very long and not helpful.

  • I can't uninstall iTunes on my computer...it keeps telling me it can't find the installer package.  Any suggestions?

    (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?

  • Upgraded to PSE 8-Can I uninstall PSE 5?

    I bought an Upgrade version of PSE 8, and rather than upgrade my original PSE 5 to PSE 8, it has installed PSE 8 in parallel to ver 5, which is OK, but can I uninstall PSE 5 without affecting my new PSE 8? Is there any reason why I wouldn't want to do this?
    Alan

    If the original poster has converted his PSE5 catalog to V8, then this shouldn't be a problem. I would not recommend you trying to keep your catalog in two different versions of PSE, that is always a recipe for confusion plus duplicate work.

  • Can't uninstall a previous iTunes installation

    There is an iTunes installation listed in Programs and Features, but when I try to uninstall it, I get a message saying, "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." It wants me to find an alternate path to iTunes64.msi.
    I have tried extracting iTunes64.msi from the most recent version of iTunes x64, but it won't accept it. By default, it looks for the file here: "C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\Installer Cache\iTunes 8.0.2.20\". However, there is no such folder, and I can't find any "Installer Cache" folder on my computer.
    I have also tried uninstalling with CCleaner, but it reports that it can't find the MSI file.
    I have tried installing the most recent version of iTunes x64, but it reports that it can't uninstall an older version of iTunes and refuses to install.
    Any suggestions?

    I don't know if bumping works here, but here goes.

  • Bad installation of Java Platform Micro Edition SDK 3.0 - Can't uninstall

    Hi,
    I tried installing the Java Platform Micro Edition SDK 3.0 tonight and it didn't work (I guess the thing doesn't like it when you're running Win7 x64 with the latest JDK for some reason...). Anyways, it installed fine but on first run it got stuck at the nag screen with IOExceptions, etc. and never finished starting. So I decided to uninstall and guess what? I can't uninstall it because it tells me it can't run the uninstaller program since it can't load a win32 dll on a 64-bit machine...
    So I resorted to deleting the folder and running a registry cleaner :/ However, so I can properly clean things up, I'd like to know where else the SDK put files or dlls and which ones.
    Thanks for your help!
    -LordPhoenix

    I'm having exact the same problem, but I'm using Vista x64.
    I tried to uninstall x64 version of the Java SE SDK and installed the x86 version instead, but it didn't help :/
    So could please anyone post a solution to this.
    EDIT: actually I at least managed to uninstall it using the SE SDK x86.
    But still, is there any way to use Java ME SDK on Vista x64?

  • My photoshop elements 9 keeps freezing, can you help me?

    My photoshop elements 9 keeps freezing, can you help me?

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.

  • Registering iTunes Automation Server installation freeze

    Hi all. Long and detailed question, but I've been searching everywhere and am at my breaking point.
    I searched for others with this issue and found a few people who complained about it, but the only responses suggested using the SpyCatcher deactivation when installation freezes at registering modules. That's not the issue here.
    I upgraded to the latetst version and lost my abilitiy to open iTunes. It would launch (tracked in Task Manager) but wouldn't opne. Following advice I found on here (apple support docs and forum advice), I completely uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime.
    Now, though, when I try to install, I get a clean install of Quicktime, but when installing iTunes, it gets all the way to "Registering iTunes Automation Server" and then freezes. The first time I left it for hours and no progress, and subsequent attempts to uninstall and reinstall hit the same point.
    I'm running a Dell x64 pentium with WinXP sp2. I have ZA internet security suite which I disable for the install (though it never posed problems before and the ZA forums don't show people having install issues). Likewise, run multiple AV and malware scans, patches are updated and current.
    The only thing I can even think of is that iTunes was initially installed under a different user account than the one with admin privileges, but since I've wiped all the accounts of any traces of iTunes and QT using CCleaner and Registry Mechanic after unintalls using the Windows Installer Clean-up utility, I can't see why that would be the issue.
    I know this is a tough one, but it's so frustrating for me and my wife not to be able to update our iPods or manage our music.
    Thanks.

    I have the same exact problem, I got an iPhone 4 and when i connected to the iTunes i had earlier for my iPhone 3g, it told me to download a compatible version for the iPhone 4. So i went ahead and did that, and since then the iTunes install freezes on "Registering iTunes automation server" I have tried everything possible out there but no luck so far..
    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thank you Kindly

  • Can't uninstall/update Can't find iTunes.msi file

    Something happened to my itunes. Could have been my daughter's creative genius or any one of a thousand other things....
    All I know is (and I don't use iTunes a lot) I can't get iTunes to load. When I click on my desktop icon or try to run it from my Start menu, I get: "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
    I trid to reinstall and I get this:
    "The path 'C:\Documents and Setting\All Users\Application Data\Apple computer\Installer Cache\iTunes7.3.0.54\iTunes.msi' cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder which you can uninstall the product iTunes."
    so I am thinking if I can uninstall it, then I can reinstall it and have it work. But I can't uninstall it, even with the remove programs function.
    I should add that I am not a computer whiz to any instructions should be very easy to follow. (Assume I am not going to know what you are talking about
    Thanks!

  • How can I uninstall Xerox print drivers and then reinstall them again

    Somehow I installed the wrong print drivers for our xerox printers running on the latest version of leopard and installing the correct driver doesn't seem to solve the problem. I want to remove all xerox driver files and reinstall the correct version of the driver.

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
