Reader 11 not uninstalling previous versions when installed via GPO MSI

I donwloaded the Reader 11 msi, patched it to 11.0.1, then with the version 11 customization wizard told it uninstall previous versions of Reader. When I push the transformed msi via a gpo it installs 11 and all of the other setting I set in the transform, like suppress EULA are applied, but Reader 10 still exists after the install.
Whats going on?

You can try using this tool to remove all traces of previous versions of Reader:

Uninstall previous versions when installing new ones?

I upgrade my Photoshop Elements to Photoshop CS5 that comes with Bridge CS5 also, by downloading and installing the files. Do I have to uninstall the Photoshop Elements and Bridge CS4 to only have the upgraded versions?

Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop Elements are different applications, so Ps CS5 is not essentially upgrade version of PSE previous versions.
Does that helps? What i am trying to say that you can run both the applications without any issues on the machine, there shouldnt be any catalog corruptions issues in running them both.

Uninstall previous versions at install

Can I have the installer of JRE 6.0 automatically uninstall any previous versions like 5.0.6 and higher on install?
I am distributing the MSI with corresponding MST using GPO.

Can I have the installer of JRE 6.0 automatically
uninstall any previous versions like 5.0.6 and higher
on install?
I am distributing the MSI with corresponding MST
using GPO.If all previous applications were installed via a GPO, you could add those GPOs to the update list and select to uninstall prior to installing JRE1.6.
However, I had to resort to a separate GPO containing a startup script (which will only run for about a month) containing the following string:
MsiExec.exe /x {UID} /qn
Once the previous versions are removed, it will fly by on subsequent restarts (it's a starup script, not logon).
where, UID = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{UID}

Adobe Reader Customization uninstall previous versions

Hello, I deployed Adobe Reader XI through Group Policy, Windows Server 2003. I used the Adobe Reader XI Customization Tool, and created a transform. I left the option checked to uninstall previous versions of Reader. Adobe Reader XI installed with all other settings configured properly that were created in the transform; however, the previous version, Adobe Reader X, did not uninstall. Has anyone experience this issue? If so, how did you get the other version of Adobe uninstalled?

Make sure the last thing you do in the wizard (right before you save) is check the box. There is a current bug in the customization wizard that will uncheck that option if you do anything else afterwards. There is a note of the bug in the wizard documentation located here (see the note in section 6.2): http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Wizard/installoptions.html#remove-insta lled-products
The note reads: "There is a current bug in which this checkbox becomes unchecked if any other feature is configured. Therefore, if you want to remove all versions of Reader, check this box as your last action before you save the modified package."

Java does not update older version when installing from MSI file

I'm using an MSI file of Java because it's easier for deploying through SCCM. Anyway when I do everything works fine except it does not update older versions of Java. So for instance if I have Java 7 update 7 and install Java 7 update 21 using the MSI file I'll then have two versions of Java installed on my computer. Anybody know a way to install using the MSI file where it updates older versions of Java (as long as it's the same major revision) like the exe would?

Yes same problem here. I had a successful rollout with the MSI package and version 1.7 Update 17 on 1500 computers!
I packaged the Update 21 and on my first test-clients the control panel crashes when I try to open it. But the setup ends successful without any error code all eventviewer entries are successful and it seems that the environment is running. Firefox plugintest was successful.
Why doesn't offer Orcale the MSI files?! Since last year Java cost me o lot of time deploying Java. There is no update which you can release quickly because there are always bugs to deploy them.

PC Suite Updates not uninstalling previous version

I installed the original PC suite that came with the N95 (several months old now but new phone for me) and then realised I needed a new PC suite so upgraded. The software states that new versions will replace the old one but I still get the original V1.6.80.0 window coming up despite the fact that I want to use V 7.0.8.2 which is installed and works better
I tried uninstalling it but then certain applications didn't work at all
As well (rather than start a new thread), my keyboard and mouse keep freezing and lagging when I'm using PC suite (yes they're bluetooth but I'm only using cable connection for PC Suite)
Cheers
Cavey

my advice to you Cavey would be to first uninstall all traces of your old PC suite completely, including deleting all installation files left behind and a complete defragmentation and cleanup of the registry and reboot. then i would suggest downloading the latest version of nokia pc suite from the nokia website and install that. this way it will be a clean install.
as for your bluetooth keyboard and mouse they shouldn't be lagging at all, as nokia pc suite should be independent of them (unless connectivity drivers somehow affect operation of other devices). but first i would suggest cleaning out your old installation of pc suite (as stated above), install the new one, then if problems still occur with your keyboard and mouse reinstall the latest version of software for them.
see how you go with doing all of this

Please try this: Copy the files formhistory.sqlite (or formhistory) and places.sqlite (or places) if they exist and delete the entire Mozilla folder in %APPDATA% and also the Firefox folder in Program Files. [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing%20up%20your%20information Please see this.]

Should I uninstall previous versions of JRE???

I have these previous version of JRE installed:
J2RE, SE 1.4.1_02
J2RE, SE 1.4.1_07
J2RE, SE 1.4.2_05
I am now updating to J2RE, SE 1.4.2_06 should I uninstall previous versions of JRE or should I leave it alone?
If I were to uninstall do I uninstall via Control Panel or is there another way to uninstall JRE?

There is little harm in either having multiple version (except disk psace/clutter) or removing them. If it turns out you have software that will not work with the latest version, you can always re-install an older version.

Should I uninstall previous versions of Firefox?

Should I uninstall previous versions of Firefox? I found 4 versions of Firefox in my control panel/programs & features. The latest version is 5.0.

Quite honestly, unless you installed Firefox into a different Program Files folder yourself every time you installed a new version of Firefox, I doubt if those older versions are still installed. Don't '''Remove''' anything until you can verify that the older versions are in fact still there, by "touring" the Program Files set of folder thru the Windows Explorer file interface ''(not to be confused with the Internet Explorer web browser)''.
When Firefox is updated, it installs the new version in the folder where the old version was. And, the Firefox installer uses the same folder all the time, except for the 4.0 beta versions and when the user does a '''"Custom"''' installation & selects a different folder than normal for Firefox.

Do I need to uninstall previous versions??

Hello,
Do I need to completely uninstall previous versions of any CS2 (Bridge, or even After Effects 7 Pro) before installing After Effects CS3?
Thank you!

I'm having the same error message, too. AND I've already tried the cleanscript, several times. All the way to level 4. I still get the same message. And adobe support is absolutely useless. I tell them that Safari 3 beta seems to be a very predominant problem when installing CS3 and they tell me that there are no records of this occurence. Well, threads don't lie, honey. Your customers are pissed. And you know what's even worse? I HAD CS3 installed on my Mac and then something happens in Photoshop, tells me to uninstall then reinstall, and that's when this starts happening. Only the problem jumped to the rest of Adobe's applications and they told me I had to reinstall them, as well. Now, after running multiple scripts and erasing previous versions of Photoshop, I still have nothing.
And what's even more ironic is those people who got a hacked version of the apps and didn't have to go through any of this. Soooo... what's the incentive to purchase from you Adobe?

Yes, you do not need to have any previous versions installed in order to install a newer version/upgrade.
