Unable to uninstall Photoshop CS4 please help

When I try
to uninstall (does not work) the trial version of PCS4 from Contr
ol Panel (Windows 7) it says
SYSTEM CHECK
Critical errors were found in set up for Adobe Photoshop CS4
The installer database is invalid: please re-install the product from the original media.
Please see the setup log file for detail.
OK, first I tried to see the set up log and for that I downloaded the Adobe Support Advisor. When I was installing it I got a message
"This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found. Please download the latest version of the Adobe AIR from www.adobe.com/go/getair or contact the application author for an updated version.
And the AIR could not be downloaded because of some " Critical Error"! To be exact it says It may not be allowed by your Administrator. The trick is that I am logged as an admin all the time!
I wasted a lotta time for nothing and feel very frustrated! It looks like I will have to re-install Windows 7, because Restore Pointes are not saved.
So boring....
Tried to clean script - downloaded a program - it won't work
Any suggestions maybe?

Wow. It sounds like you have a hosed installation of the trial. Also, it sounds like there are some other problems with the system.
Now, there are utilities to remove programs. CleanSweep (last by Symantec) was one, but there must be more. One could let such a utility scan their system, then use it to remove the program. At that time, I'd run the Adobe Clean Script CS4 and then a Registry cleaner, like CCleaner.
Good luck, and I think that you have some more troubleshooting ahead of you to fix other issues.

Unable to Uninstall Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4

it's been a couple of days since i tried out Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4 to see how they compare to the CS3 versions, it worked fine and all till suddenly it stopped working, so i been trying to uninstall/reinstall to get it working under the free trial limit i still have left (27 days as of this writing) it still will not work.
Sometimes i would install Photoshop/Dreamweaver and say an error occurred and some components were unable to install and would be unable to load the file even after doing what the instructions say...
Same goes for when i try to uninstall both Photoshop/Dreamweaver, i would try to uninstall and would still remain in my program files...
I am completely stumped on what to do, i can't even re-install photoshop/dreamweaver cs3 as well due to this...
I am running on Vista 32bit SP1 Pack on HP Pavilion, i want to completely get rid of CS4 versions and go back to my reliable CS3 again, any help please would be greatly appreciated.

John... if you read what I said you would of caught that i did do it:
"did what was suggested, worked like a charm for the CS3 and Dreamweaver CS4 but although it did work on Photoshop CS4. it did something i was dumbfounded to see, it did something odd in which it took out the Uninstall/Change tab option for removing programs (I was viewing it to see if it uninstalled completely) also it brought out a bunch of programs that weren't in that section before and was unable to uninstall/remove them.
So i had to do a system restore point to go back and try again. After doing it two more times (ya two!) still doesn't work, i am 7 hours into trying to resolve this... sigh. "
At that time i said i had done it 2 times, 3 in total, i am on try #6 all with the same results with the exact after effects once i restart my PC.
Here's what it does to tell what goes on:
1) after installing microsoft's cleaner then opening up the cs4 cleaner under admin, it does its thing, it asks me if i wish to remove Flash Player 10 after choosing remove Photoshop CS4, now here i done both remove Flash Player and not remove it with the same results, losing the uninstall/change option on the control panel, which frustrates me.
2) After seeing that i try to install Photoshop CS4 again, once its done, i open it up, try to go to the trial option where as i stated previously says there's an error and can't open the trial page which would open up Photoshop completely but since it can't i cannot go beyond that window.
3) So ya... i try ONCE again to do it all over after restarting and SAMETHING! no uninstall/change option appearing and unable to open up Photoshop CS4 in which i resort to doing a system restore again and trying once more.
NOW, one would think that after the first 3 times it should be working properly, i mean I thought it would after removing both Photoshop CS3 and Dreamweaver CS4 it's bound to do the same for Photoshop CS4, but it doesn't completely create a "FREASH" install. It's like it still remembers what messed up functions it still had and what's up with it removing the uninstall/change option? that just bogles my mind.
i tried many things, re-downloading the trial from adobe, etc i never would of thought just one program could cost me so much wasted time just to get it working and it's a free trial nonetheless so excuse me John Joslin if your remark kind of bugs me, I need some assistance/advice on trying to correct this problem, not a
"It should have done!
Run it a few times. "
comment that's already common knowledge for me in what I have already been doing long before your post.

Photoshop CS4+ please help download

I need to edit a resume template I purchased thats saved as a PSD file. I downloaded photoshop CC but I was told I needed CS4 to edit the resume text. Can someone please tell me what is CS4 and how can I download it? Is it an extension of Photoshop CC? I'm so confused and I need to send resume TODAY :-(
Thanks!!!!
Cat

photoshop (ps) cs4 is an older version of the current photoshop (cc 2014).
that ps cs4 version should be editable in ps cc so i'm not sure it will help you to download ps cs4, but the link is below. further, it doesn't make sense that a resume template would be a psd file. it makes more sense that it would be a pdf file and you need adobe acrobat.

If you deleted files it is not a good thing. You need to uninstall, run the adobe script cleaner, then reinstall.

Uninstalling Photoshop CS4 from a Mac with Yosemite, which cannot open CS4.

I have Photoshop CS4 installed on a Mac. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and now am not able to open it. The Java OS that is recommended to solve the problem refuses to download. Thus I would like uninstall Photoshop CS4 but cannot do so. Please help from your end. It is my MacBook Pro 13". I DO NOT want to uninstall it from my MacBook Pro 17". Only from my 13" Can you help me?

Ok. That should be fine. There is a CS/CC Cleaner tool as well. It removes installation records according to the description.

Cannot install my costco photoshop 12 please help. it is now installing itself. Will take it back tomorrow.

I have been working on installing this software for weeks now and am at the end. The first time the organizer installed but the editor wouldn't. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times and am ready to take this application back to the store. I have a Vista machine.

It still didn't work. I paid for Photoshop 12 at Costco. The organizer downloaded just fine but when I tried to use the editor, the screen appeared asking for my Adobe sign on, I signed on, and then the application just churned. I had to use task manager to stop it. Per your instruction, I downloaded Photoshop 13 from the site, it downloaded fine and then asked for my Adobe sign on and then just churned. I can now access Photoshop 13 organizer but still can't get editor.
This is ridiculous. Last night I did the msconfig.exe and followed the instructions on changing the start up menu and disabling everything.
I am furious about this. It looks like you want me to pay for Photoshop Elements 13 when I can't get 12 to work. This is a Vista machine.

Why? It comes with an uninstaller.
Contact the developer for uninstall instructions.

You still need to contact the manufacturer. You need to determine from them if they have drivers that support the OS that is currently installed on your comp or read the following KB Articles:

Why can't I access Photoshop CS4 online help?

Why can't I access Photoshop CS4 online help?

Yes, you are right. The web-based online help is available only for the current version of Photoshop. I also discovered how to access the online help that originally came on my CS4 disk. You turn on the offline option (Windows>Extensions>Connections). With the online help from the disk and the PDFs you pointed out, I am happy. Thank you very much. (I hope I have replied to everyone correctly. I am new to this.) My thanks to everyone.

Did you upgrade to Lion just before setting up iCloud? that's more likely to be the issue. PhotoShop CS2 is a PPC program and won't run on Lion - on Snow Leopard it requires Rosetta to emulate PPC, and this is not included in Lion. CS3 and lateer apparently work though with issues.
Click on the program's icon in the Finder and hit command-i. Near the top of the pane it will say 'Kind': if it says 'PowerPC' then this is the problem. It will not run on Lion and there is no workaround. You will need to revert to Snow Leopard (you could install this on an external disk and start up from that).

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.
