Uninstall Acrobat 6 without Add/Remove Programs

Hello,
I currently have several users still running Acrobat 6 Standard.  I have purchased licenses for Acrobat X to replace these outdated packages, but am trying to automate the uninstall/install.  The program I am using to automate the process requires me to select an application for the removal; I cannot just go through Add/Remove programs.  Most programs have an Uninst.exe (or something to that effect) in the Program Files folder, but I am not seeing that on my systems.  When I go through Control Panel>Add/Remove and click "Change" it brings up what looks like the setup program with the option to remove.  This would work perfectly, but I am unable to find the executable that launches this program.  Can anyone help me locate it?
Thanks in advance.
If it matters, I am running XP SP3 on all machines.

The response has been overwhelming. Thanks

  • How to uninstall Firefox if Add/Remove programs won't work?

    My Firefox is completely unresponsive. I can't get a browser or anything. I just grabbed the application folder and threw it in the trash, because the add/remove program function did nothing. I also cannot download the newest version of Firefox. It tries, but then says, "Your download was interrupted".
    How can I make sure I've removed ALL of the old Firefox and what can I do to download the new one?

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • How to uninstall NI drivers that are not removable via "Add/Remove Programs"?

    Hi,
    I am trying to uninstall older versions of NI MAX and DAQ drivers via "Add/Remove Programs" in Control Panels on a Win2000 test PC, but nothing happen when the "Remove" button is pressed. The same issue does not happen with any other drivers or applications installed on the same test PC. These two drivers might have been installed improperly before. Please advise how I can uninstall them without using "Add/Remove Programs"? Thank you very much for your help.

    Hello LA,
    The window that I have is different from the one you posted. Please see attached for mine. When I clicked on REMOVE, a message popped up and disappeared within a couple seconds. And the message is as following: "The installer is verifying the installation, please do not reboot while this dialog is being display." This same message popped up every time REMOVE is clicked but I have no luck on removing MAX.
    This test PC is for legacy testing and it was with Windows 98 and have an ISA DAQ card installed that requires DAQ driver 6.9.3. Can upgrading the test PC to Windows 2000 corrupt the installation?
    Looking forward for your advice. Thank you.

  • Acrobat 9.2.0 MSP doesn't display in add/remove programs

    I installed the Acrobat 9.2 MSP and it shows successful installation but it doesn't show Acrobat 9.2.0 in add/remove programs.  It still shows Acrobat 9.0.0.  Any reason why this would do this?

    Okay, found the solution--I think.  Fire up Acrobat, go to Help/Repair Acrobat Installation.  After a LONG bit of disk-bashing, the process ends and Acrobat then shows up in the add/remove programs list.
    I may just keep the program around a bit longer now, now that I'm not quite as paranoid about it as I was.
    Ugh.

  • Firefox crashed 2 days ago and will now not open, and won't uninstall via Control panel add/remove programs; the files are still there on Windows Explorer. IE8 still works.

    My PC is a fujitsuscaleo 600, last year I had a new hard drive and some extra RAM fitted and since then has been good - have used, and updated Firefox for over 6 years. in August I installed TrendMicro antivirus and for different reasons this has been uninstalled/re-installed twice. AFter letting it expire, I re-installed ParetoLogic PC health advisor (I think in August too)and allowed it to try updating some graphics drivers following a scan - this was unsuccessful so I marked them to ignore (something about my graphics card not supporting the drivers downoladed). I can see the mozilla files on WIndow Explorer but if I click 'remove' (control panel, add/remove programs) I get a very short 'hourglass' then nothing; if I click Firefox icon I get the same. Help!

  • Remove labview 2009 without using add/remove program

    Hi all,
    I have problem with removing LabVIEW 2009.
    I have deleted some folders in C drive, NI folder.
    Now I can't run my LabVIEW 2009 and it doesn't show up in my add/remove program list.
    I tried to delete all folder and files in C drive under NI folder, but error message pop out shows that I do not have the authority to do so.
    So, how can I remove it completely ?
    I intended to reinstall LabVIEW 2009 after I have removed it completely.
    Appreciate your help very much.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    That is why I say try to reinstall LabVIEW. It might just do a repair of your installation. Then you can use add/remove programs to completely uninstall it.
    But when you completely uninstall it there will be NI folders remaining. These are things like user.lib.
    Have you tried to reinstall the runtime engine?
    One last thing. I don't know how you got your install so messed up but remember that if you build an installer you should not install that onto a system with the development environment. There are so many things that can go wrong.

  • How can I uninstall firefox when the add/remove programs in control panel doesn't work, nor does opening it in the run command?

    I tried to uninstall firefox using the control panel, add/remove programs. When I click on remove it does nothing. Then I tried using run, firefox, uninstall, helper and this does nothing either. Is there another way to remove it or repair it? I am using windows xp not 2000.

    For details of how to manually remove Firefox see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox - it gives details of the folders you need to delete.
    What is your problem with Firefox, re-installing Firefox does not normally fix problems.

  • 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.

  • How do I uninstall firefox when I cannot find it in 'add/remove program'

    I am trying to uninstall firefox from my window 7 notebook but I cannot find it under 'add/remove program' in control panel. I have come across suggestion to delete the Mozilla firefox folder from program x86 but I worry that this method may create problem by leaving orphans in the registry.

    The uninstall instructions are here
    * [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]]
    You appear not to be posting from Firefox and so I wonder have you already uninstalled it ?
    Uninstalling, gives you an option to leave behind personal information. If you will never use Firefox again you may not need that and the Firefox profile may be deleted. Possibly the profile folder is what you are seeing. Note the profile contains your Firefox bookmarks and normally if uninstalling Firefox you may wish to first of all export those as HTML that may be used elsewhere as bookmarks / favourites.
    * [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    * [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]

  • If I have corrupted bkup exec SQl Databases will they be removed if I uninstall SQL express 2005 from add remove programs?

    The only things running when I run SQL management are Windows internal Database and SQl browser.
    Both BKexec and mssql server are broken and won't start
    I can't seem to find a way to connect to or delete the databases
    I am using an outdated backup exec 11d so I cannot get support from Symantec
    I want to know if uninstalling sqlserver express through add remove programs will remove the corrupt databases
    This is in order to reinstall backup exec

    Hello,
    Based on your description, it seems that a backup tool (backup exec) is corrupt and and you want to reinstall this tool.
    Uninstall SQL Server will not remove database files. Are the database files (data file .mdf and log file .log) or backup file (.bak) still available in your disk? If the database files or backup file is not corrupted, you can attach or restore
    the database form these files after you reinstall SQL Server.

  • Have Windows XP, tried 4.0 beta but want to revert back to 3.6 so downloaded 3.6, now can't uninstall 4.0 as it is not listed in add/remove programs?

    Only 3.6 is now listed in add/remove programs, so how do I uninstall 4.0?

    There are several video download applications that work on Firefox 4, for example:
    * Video DownloadHelper - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper
    * Easy YouTube Video Downloader - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/easy-youtube-video-downl-10137
    * Flash Video Downloader (Youtube Downloader) - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/flash-video-downloader-youtube
    Are there any other add-ons that you particularly want in Firefox 4? There may be updates to them or alternatives.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6.* you can uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install Firefox 3.6.* available from http://www.mozilla.com - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
