SDK uninstall problem

Hello,
I recently installed Java 2 SDK 2 v1.4_01 for Windows XP. I decided to change directories and uninstalled it using the Add or Remove Programs Control Panel. When I now try to reinstall, the extraction process goes fine but then a message appears saying that Java 2 SDK is already installed.
I think that the uninstall was successful because some web pages give warnings that the Java VM needs to be installed.
It seems that something is left in the System Registry (or somewhere else) showing that the Java is still installed. I need to reinstall Java but the process seems blocked. Any ideas or advice would be most appreciated.
Thank you,
Jeff Ratliff

Remove all the old directories that were added by the original install, open the Control Panel - Add/Delete Programs and check that "Java2 Runtime Environment" and "Java Webstart" are also gone- if not, remove them.
If you did any of the above, do an install.
If it fails again, search thru the Registry and clean it of "Sun" and "Javasoft" keys.

This all came about because of a failed uninstall, using Your Uninstaller.
The {Java runtime which is all I want) is not listed now & I tried all the other fix bad uninstall type features, all to no avail.} )
When I DL & run the latest package (jxpiinstall-6u11-fcs-bin-b90-windows-i586-25_nov_2008.exe}
& run it I get:
1st message:
     "This software has already been installed on your computer.
     Would you like to install it?"
If I say no, it exits.
If I say yes, I get this second message:

So Now I have no Java & have no idea what to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CS1 Install/Uninstall Problems ?

I can't uninstall CS1, nor can can I reinstall Photoshop from CS1, which is presently not installed. My OS is Windows Vista Home Premium. I am out of warranty and Adobe will not provide suppport. I have read all I can find about FLEXnet licensing suspecting there is a connection. When I try to either install or uninstall CS1, I get an error message from Microsoft saying that "Adobe CS1 installer has stopped working". There is no other information unless I open the Adobe File folder for Photoshop from CS1 that I saved to my desktop. I can initiate the install procedure from that folder, but when prompted for the original product serial number a message states that the serial number I have provided is invalid. I have talked with Adobe however, and their records indicate that I have a valid serial number.
I have gone to "Services" using the administrative tools in the control panel and tried setting FLEXnet Licensing on manual, then on automatic, and finally disabling it temporarily. I have gone to the Start Up menu on the desktop and entered "msconfig" in the search box and gone to services where FLEXnet was at first "stopped" and is now "running".
On some forums there are recommendations to first copy and save FLEXnet to another area of the hard drive, then delete it altogether from its original location, and then uninstall ALL Adobe software in the computer before reinstalling everything. Other contributors strongly caution the removal of FLEXnet, and some users have complained of ongoing problems after deleting FLEXnet. Firstly, I'm not sure I can figure out how to copy and save FLEXnet to another drive, and secondly I'm afraid of the possible results. Even if I can accomplish those tasks I don't know if that procedure will then allow me to either uninstall the portion of CS1 still in my computer, or reinstall the Photoshop that presently won't install. By the way, all the CS1 programs that remain in my computer are operational. Photoshop is the only missing component.
I am not well versed in technology, and much that I read in the forums is only partially comprehensible to me. If you have the patience and knowledge to help me unravel this mess I would love your help. Thanks. Harrison

Thank you Bob. It was very nice of you to write. I have been using CS1 with Vista since Vista came out. I'm aware that compatibility is considered a significant issue. Fortunately, I never had any problems until now, although I would have replaced CS1 with a more recent and compatible version if money were not part of the equation for me.
Adobe told me that if I bought the CS5 they would help me straighten out any issues now caused by the CS1, but otherwise they would not help. I did not think to ask if Adobe has designed CS5 to be compatible with Vista, but I will. I may buy the more recent version out of necessity, but it does not seem unreasonable to me that Adobe should help someone with a valid serial and registration number access their software regardless of warranties. The problem at hand seems to be a glitch in the licensing application provided by FLEXnet that I presume protects Adobe from unauthorized use of their products. I am wondering how much this situation actually has to do with system compatibility, given that I have been using the software for roughly two years with Vista, or whether it is simply that Adobe's FLEXnet licensing shield can work against legitimate users under certain circumstances. Adobe did not mention FLEXnet to me, but I would like to know one way or the other if FLEXnet is at the core of the problem.
Thank you again Bob for writing. I may wipe my OS clean and reload everything. I suspect the CS1 might work then, but I do realize that CS1 is old by technological standards, in spite of the fact that I would gladly continue to use it. I am among those people that find the cost of keeping current very difficult, and I find it exasperating that so many products and services become obsolete very rapidly when considering their relative cost. Have a nice weekend.
Best Regards,
Harrison

Premier Elements 10 install/uninstall problems (including upgrades)

Unfortunately, Premier elements 10.0 has several installer bugs as it relates to machines wiht previous versions of Premier Elements installed.
1. It doesn't upgrade the old version of Premier Elements. Doesn't notice. Doesn't tell you. Doesn't warn up of the upcoming problems.
2. If you later choose to uninstall the older version of PE, then that PE corrupts the install of PE 10. Just for starters, the premier element (prel) files are no longer associated with Premier Elements.
3. If you then choose to re-install or do a "repair" install of PE 10...you can't. Adobe doesn't have that. 5 years after its possible. Do you have to completely uninstall PE 10 and then reinstall it.
I am having a horrible first day experience with Premier elements 10.

Helo Install_Guru. I believe you misread my post. I never said in my post that you couldn't launch PE10. Instead here are the repro steps and behaviors:
setup:
Lenovo T61 laptop w/ T7700 core 2 duo, 8gb ram, 300gb hd
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 sp1 with all current windows updates
Microsoft Security Essentials
Premier Elements 8.0 (with the incremental PE8 update installated)
repro
purchase PE10 upgrade from the Adobe online store and download the two files (exe and 7z) using the alternate method
Run the exe. After it decompresses, check to allow it to launch the installer
Proceed to have PE10 installed in US-English. Provide the serial number when prompted.
Reboot if needed
Verify that PE10 runs. It did successfully for me.
Using control panel, uninstall PE8. Choose for it to uninstalled dependent software
Reboot if needed
Try to open a premier elements project file
result:
Fail. Windows has no association for the file and prompts you to search the internet
expected:
PE10 to open the project
Continued repro:
9. Go to windows control panel to repair the install
10. Select PE10. Click uninstall/change
Result:
Prompts me to uninstall PE10.
expected:
Have a selection to repair or uninstall the install. Repairs are a technology available for many years now. Also helps customers when they don't have the install media nearby.
Continued repro:
11. Run the setup via the 2 files downloaded from the Adobe store.
12. Select to launch the setup
Result
Prompts me to uninstall PE10
Expected:
Have a selection to repair or uninstall. Sometimes vendors can have more options using the install media, yet there is still only the uninstall option.
Continued repro:
13. Choose to uninstall PE10. Note, that the deregister text in the uninstall is vague as it applies to this repro case of re-installing
14. reboot if needed
15. Using original two files from adobe store, start the setup
16. Run the setup via the 2 files downloaded from the Adobe store.
17. Select to launch the setup
18. Proceed to have PE10 installed in US-English. Provide the serial number when prompted.
19. Reboot if needed
20. Verify that PE10 runs. It did successfully for me.
Notes:
The customer (me) was never prompted to read the README file. In fact, it is rather hard to know one even exists. You have to manually open the folder created on your desktop (by the 2 file decomp process) and within it open the readme folder and with it find the filename that you can understand. In short, a user will never read the README file because they are not prompted during the setup. Instead, the Adobe Store 2 file setup process guides me with the steps to not read me by the default of Launch Setup, hiding it two folders down on the desktop, etc.
The README file has a section on Compatibility with other versions of PE. Hurrah! However, the content in that section is poor. Sad.
The README file says, "You can have previous versions of Adobe Premiere Elements installed on your computer, but do not run them simultaneously." When I read this, it implies that if I somehow installed PE10 on my computer while a previous one was installed, then I can never ("do not run them simltaneously") use that previous again or something bad happens. If this is true, then don't allow PE10 to install while a previousl version is installed. Halt the PE installer giving that reason. However, if that README note means that I can run PE10 and PE8 (for example) on the same computer but I just can't have both processes open and running at the same time, then the README file needs to be more explicit in the warning. As it is not, it is too vague. Be explicit and generous with your wording.
The README file has no warnings of what happens when PE8 (for example) is uninstalled after PE10 was installed. If this is not a tested or supported scenario, then write that in your README file. If it is tested and supported, then you have the bug I documented above in the repro.
In step 3 of the repro above, I strongly suggest you detect any previous install of PE and warn the user. Allow the user to see the README file *right then* so they can make an informed choice. Tell the user that there are uninstall problems and that they will need to fix it up or do the 30+ minute uninstall/install procedure I had to do.
I hope that this can provide you some insight.

1.4.2_03 SDK install problem (WinXP SP1)

I just installed j2sdk 1.4.2_03 (freshly downloaded), and installed on my WinXP SP1 laptop.
* The install croaked at the point at which it tried to install the standalone JRE (threw up an error dialog, and if you hit OK on that, it exits the install without installing the JRE).
* At that point, if I do "c:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\java -version" (to check the version of the JRE contained in the SDK), it says "build 1.4.2-b28" (!!!). (I don't have any other JREs installed anywhere, and verified that it was indeed picking up the JRE from c:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\jre.)
Did the 1.4.2_03 SDK go out with a bad JRE bundled? The 1.4.2_02 SDK correctly identifies itself (java -version) as "build 1.4.2_02-b03", and I've uninstalled everything and rolled back to that version of both the JRE and SDK, and everything works fine now (installs flawlessly).

I am seeing the same problem with the j2sdk1.4.2_03 SDK and JRE installers. The error showing up on XP is "Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." The install then exits with the package in a partial state and must be uninstalled. I also see the same problem when installing the older j2sdk1.4.2_03 SDK. Sounds like there is return state that is not being handled correctly in the package installer. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thanks

Adobe Air Uninstall problem

Adobe Air gets installed with PSE-9. When I try to uninstall Adobe Air I get a small window with a message saying I need administrator permission, however I am the administrator, and I'm selecting uninstall as the "User" Administrator. This is on a PC running Win 7 64. Adobe PSE-9 was the first Adobe software to get installed on this PC. Any advice will be sincerely appreciated.
Pete

Hi Pete,
I think your assumption is correct. I suspect we're having a problem installing the AIR runtime on your system. Could you post the contents of your installer logs? I'm attaching instructions for both the AIR and, if needed, MSI logs.
1. Ensure that viewing hidden folders is enabled. Instructions can be found on Microsoft's site:
Windows 7, Vista, XP
2. Navigate to the following folder (replace username with your login name):
Windows 7: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Adobe\AIR\logs
Vista: C:\Users\ username\AppData\Local\Adobe\AIR\logs
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\AIR\logs
3. Please attach the install.log to your forum post or open the log file with Notepad or your favorite text editor and select all and copy/paste.
4. In some situations the AIR installer will fail during the MSI portion of the install. You can determine if this occurred by searching the Install.log text for "Error occurred during msi install operation". If this text is found, please enable and locate the MSI log using this Microsoft document and include it, along with the AIR Install.log when reporting the install issue.
How to enable Windows Installer logging
Once MSI logging is enabled, please re-run the AIR Installer to generate the MSI Log.
Thanks,
Chris

Uninstall problem in cc applications after time machine migration to new mac

Newbie to cc. Having problems with cc programs that were migrated across to new iMac via Time Machine back up when setting up new mac.
Attempting to open PS cc results in error message 86. I have now uninstalled Creative Cloud program and a PS cc program in Utilities via Adobe Installer in Ulilities however, (other copies?) of the programs PS cc and Bridge cc, the only 2 cc programs I have so far, are listed in my Applications folder.
I think I need to remove them both from the Applications folder but am unsure how to do this safely. There is no Abobe Uninstaller now in Utilities as it was empty after uninstall removal of duplicate? programs noted earlier so I deleted that too.
Should I send them to trash? And then perhaps I can start afresh with new installs of Creative Cloud and required cc programs.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thank, Barry

Hi Jakekira14,
We never suggest our customer's to move Adobe softwares using Timemachine because it causes launch/Licensing issues. I would request you to kindly delete all the Adobe folders and then install everything from scratch. To remove the left over's, please delete the following folders from your machine.

JRE or SDK install problem - installing in non-std dir

I'm encountering a problem trying to install either the JRE or SDK into a non-standard directory (one that's not the default of c:\j2sdk1.4.2_01 or what have you). This is occuring with both 1.4.2_01 and 1.4.2_02.
In this case, I'm trying to install it in a directory similar to c:\progra~1\compan~1\produc~1\jre. (Short names b/c I can't figure out how to do long paths silently, but that's a whole different issue).
The install nears the end and then presents the user with a "Java(TM) Update (1.4.2_01-b06) cannot be installed on this machine because the Java(TM) Virtual Machine is currently running. Please close all running Java(TM) applications, especially browsers. [RETRY] [CANCEL]" message.
There's definitely not a JVM running at the moment. If I click Cancel, the install finishes up and there is a workable install there. But why the prompt? Since this is a silent install within another install, it will cause concern for my customers.
The last few lines of my setup file:
Action start 19:16:59: removesdkpackfiles.
Action ended 19:17:00: removesdkpackfiles. Return value 1.
Action start 19:17:00: unzipdemos.
Action ended 19:17:15: unzipdemos. Return value 1.
Action start 19:17:15: copysrczip.
Action ended 19:17:19: copysrczip. Return value 1.
Action start 19:17:19: patchsdk.
Error 1722.There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action patchsdk, location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Java\Update\Base Images\j2sdk1.4.2-b28\patch-j2sdk1.4.2_02-b03\patchsdk.exe, command: -s "C:\PROGRA~1\COMPAN~1\PRODUC~1\jre\"
Action ended 19:17:35: patchsdk. Return value 3.
Action ended 19:17:35: INSTALL. Return value 3.
=== Logging stopped: 10/23/2003 19:17:35 ===
The command line to kick off the install:
j2sdk-1_4_2_02-windows-i586-p.exe /s /v\"/qn ADDLOCAL=ALL IEXPLORER=1 INSTALLDIR=c:\progra~1\compan~1\produc~1\jre /L \jresetup.log"
Has anyone encountered this? I've narrowed it down to the fact that it's an install into a directory that's not the default. If I run the install without specifying the INSTALLDIR, everything works fine. Help is appreciated!

See the original posting and comments in http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=14&thread=462167 and the bug http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4953793.html
Rebooting has no effect whatsoever on this problem; even if you can now get the SDK installed, a non-administrative account won't be able to use the JRE in it, nor will the user be able to use the other JRE installed in the default location.

SDK install problems on Redhat 7.1

Hi
I'm having problems getting the SDK to work on Redhat 7.1.
My path variable is set up corectly, and get the following errors when I do a java -version
java: /usr/bin/cut: No such file or directory
usr/lib/jdk1.3.0_02/bin/i386/native_threads/java: error loading shared libraries: libjvm.so :cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory
I've tried the following: copying libjvm.so to my /usr/lib directory and creating a "cut" file under /usr/bin. That took care of the error msgs, but now I get a core dump.
Does anybody know why this is happening?? I running the same SDK on SuSE without any problems.
Please help!!

Lots of people talk about this problem with RedHat 7.1
I know this sounds crazy but you could download jBuilder from borland and get a Sun jdk that works.
That's what I did.
I can't figure out what's up with the Sun download but look at the permissions.
For the second guy
If the file had a .bin on the end of it it's a bash script that the permission is screwed up on I bet ??
You might want to move the file off the system and put it back as user. Don't know, seems like if you change the permission as root or run as root you might end up with an unusable jdk (permissions all screwed up) ???

Installing AND Uninstalling problems

Hi.
My problem started when I was trying to install one of the CS4 premiums. When I was going through and selecting everything I wanted to install, Photoshop CS4 Extended would not select. I clicked a little drop down arrow that said that the reason is because it is already installed. This is not my problem...
I thought it was weird because I had never, ever before had any version Photoshop installed on this computer. But I opted to simply install and then uninstall a Photoshop CS4 Extended trial to see if that would help. After downloading a hefty installer file, I attempted to install it. At the end of the installation I received the following error:
Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack
Error:
Error 2.
LangPack (English) for DeviceCentral
Error:
Error 2.
Crap. But I decided to try to uninstall it anyway. At the end of the uninstallation it says that there were some errors uninstalling some of the components. "For more information see below." And then there's nothing below. What.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it several times. What the Christ, guys? Am I forever doomed to have an incomplete, non-working Photoshop on my computer? Is there any way I can simply delete all the files and remove it from the registry?

So, I tried installing the suite again and the installer actually finished but,
The following products failed to install correctly and need to be reinstalled:
Adobe Encore CS4
Adobe Flash CS4
Optional components of the following products failed to install correctly:
Adobe After Effects CS4
Adobe Contribute CS4
Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
Adobe Fireworks CS4
Adobe Illustrator CS4
Adobe InDesign CS4
Adobe Photoshop CS4
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
That's a lot of thing... When I click 'More Information,' I get this log:
Adobe Encore CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Error 1335.The cabinet file 'AdobeEncore4All1.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.
Adobe Flash CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Error 1335.The cabinet file 'AdobeFlash10-mul1.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.

Error 1603. Error 1335.The cabinet file 'AdobeBridge3All1.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.
In case you need to know, I'm running on Windows Vista (non 64-bit) and I've already run the cleanup script beforehand.

Upgrade/install/uninstall problems, error messages etc.

After upgrading to version 7 everything seemed to be fine for a while then out of the blue I got this message:
Error writing to file C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\ko.lproj\iPodHelpchm. Verify that you have access to that directory
I am an admin on this computer, hadn't made any changes lately.
After some searching online, I tried uninstalling... iTunes uninstalled but Quicktime is still causing problems. I get similar error messages (2330) when trying to uninstall quicktime.
Now I can't get either to reinstall or uninstall!
I'm really frustrated, version 6 worked great for me.
I get this error message when trying to delete the iTunes and quicktime folders from Program Files: "Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)"
The programs appear uninstalled except these folders cannot be deleted. I have opened the folders and deleted everything inside that I could delete without receiving the same error message... but I'm still left with files on my computer and still cannot reinstall the latest iTunes/quicktime properly.
This seems to be the step that is preventing any of the previously suggested fixes for my iTunes problems on this forum from working.
I've been watching and waiting on a fix for this for months. I finally switched to an iTunes alternative for windows users, but I do miss my iTunes. I used to shop the iTunes store frequently but after this I don't know... I'm ready to give up!
Does anyone have any new insight on this???

Error writing to file C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.Resources\ko.lproj\iPodHelpchm. Verify that you have access to that directory
2330s citing language resource folders (you seem to be having trouble with one of the Korean ones) are typically caused by damaged files, or disk damage in the area of those files. i'd lean towards the disk damage possibility given the "Cyclic redundancy check" message.
so first let's try running a chkdsk over your C drive. see:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? if so, do you still get the 2330 next time you try an install?

Adobe Flash Player - Uninstall problem

Appleworks won't open/ uninstall problems

I suspect my problem is related to an appleworks file (unopened) that was being copied and I stopped the process before competion. since then, the application will only partially open and stalls with the spinning ball.
I reinstalled appleworks, but forgot to uninstall the original version. I then coppleted uninstall using the applications disk and tried to delete the 2nd copy manually, but I get a "startings Points is locked' when emptying the trash.
I completed a reinstall, disk persmissions repairs and appleworks will launch but not completely open.
I'm frustrated and would really appreciate suggestions.
