Uninstall Acrobat CC XI Silently

Hi,
I have been able to install Acrobat XI CC successfully using the Cloud Packager and SCCM.
I am tried to create an uninstall program for it however.
I have not been able to find out how to get this done successfully as remenants of the program are still left to the point SCCM things the program is still installed.
Cheers,

I am trying to create a deployment that will uninstall Acrobat Pro CC XI.
The package creator creates 2 MSIs that needs to be installed to install the program one of which being the MSI in the exception folder which gets installed via the ExceptionDeployer. This is fine. The program installs (Although it creates 2 items in Add\Remove Programs) and works as expected.
I want to know how to completely remove Acrobat Pro CC XI. Though. I am currently trying to use the below commands however this doesn't appear to work.
start /wait msiexec.exe /uninstall "Build\Acrobat Pro XI x64.msi" /quiet
msiexec.exe /uninstall "Exceptions\AcrobatProfessional11.0-mul\AcroPro.msi" /quiet
It does remove both items that appear in Add\Remove Programs except it still shows up when listing installed programs via script as well as still showing up in the Registry.(HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVerison\Uninstall\{5A974FBE-3480-42BA-A2 E8-6A887FC7B6F0}. I have tried to pass the uninstall command "MsiExec.exe /X{5A974FBE-3480-42BA-A2E8-6A887FC7B6F0}". It starts to do something and then appears to reverse the progress bar and end without errors.

Sabian, I know how to kill a process running that isn't my problem (In fact personally I think it is easier in PowerShell than what you mentioned), I'm trying to have as little impact to the customer as possible. My comments above were purly to point out Adobe has some work to do with their MSI's, if this isn't possible, since other software companies can clearly get around this problem with no ill effect.
Here is one solution for anyone else wondering what can be done:
Create a pop-up/message box as part of the deployment stating they need to close out of Adobe or it will close in a specific time frame. Once the OK button is clicked or the time expires, it forces a kill command (In PS that would be Stop-Process), then go onto the install.
The only problem with this is first customers will contact the helpdesk because even with an e-mail lets face it, people don't read their e-mail. Second, there is potential for data loss if people choose to ignore the message. (If they choose to ignore it, well that is on them in my opinion). Thanks.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Uninstall Acrobat 9.0.0 Pro from Mac OS

I have just upgraded my OS to Mavericks, which doesn't work with Acrobat 9 Pro, so I've purchased Acrobat XI and installed it. Now I can't get rid of Acrobat 9 Pro. The uninstaller in that folder doesn't work. When I try to open it, the uninstaller that came with Acrobat XI opens instead and can't "see" the Acrobat 9 folder or app so I can't use it to uninstall 9.
If I need to do a manual uninstall, what files other than the ones in the Acrobat 9 Pro folder in the Applications folder do I need to remove?

Hi Carolyn,
Please check the doc: http://www.project-insomnia.com/wp/2009/07/22/manually-uninstalling-adobe-acrobat-reader-9 -on-mac-os-x-leopard/
You might want to uninstall Acrobat 11 first and then manually remove Acrobat 9 files as you might inadvertently remove Acrobat 11 files while trying to manually remove Acrobat 9 files.
Both the application share the same folders to save the files and related preferences.
Regards,
Rave

Acrobat Pro 9 & XI both installed on Mac. How can I uninstall Acrobat Pro 9 & not affect Acrobat XI?

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro XI are installed on the same iMac with OS X 10.8.5. How do I safely uninstall only Acrobat Pro 9 without affecting Acrobat Pro XI?
When I first installed Acrobat Pro XI, I thought maybe I was suppose to leave Acrobat Pro 9 on my computer.
So now I have both Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Acrobat Pro 11 installed.
I see no benefit to having both installed. I want to uninstall only the Acrobat Pro 9 and not Acrobat Pro XI.
I am not sure that I can safely uninstall Acrobat Pro 9 without affecting the functioning and files for Acrobat Pro XI.
I started to uninstall Acrobat 9, but I stopped when I saw a warning in a little window.
I went to the "Acrobat Uninstaller.app" file in the "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro" folder and double clicked it.
The Acrobat folder for Acrobat XI Pro came up with the file "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" selected
I manually selected the "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" file in the "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro" folder.
When I clicked on "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app" for Acrobat 9 a window with a warning came up. So I stopped.
"Uninstall will remove files, folders, and preferences installed by Acrobat from your system.
There is no undo available. User data files and directories shared by other Adobe applications will not be removed."
Should I go ahead and click [Uninstall]?
I don't think it will delete my pdf files.
Will this affect my Acrobat XI operating &/or preferences? Will Acrobat XI still function correctly?
What do I have to do to safely have just Acrobat XI on my computer without Acrobat 9?
Thank you for any help.

I am trying to uninstall, I tried to uninstall, but I got the following message when trying to uninstall: "Invalid Application. The application selected was not a valid Acrobat application for this uninstaller. Please rerun the uninstaller." Acrobat 9 installation suddenly stopped working
Can you help?

Uninstalling Acrobat 7.0 and installing Acrobat XI

I just purchased Acrobat XI, and it came in the mail last night. I'm trying to install it, but I'm running into a problem - every time I try to install it, it needs me to uninstall Acrobat 7.0. I go through the steps for that, everything seems to have gone fine, and then it asks me to restart my computer. When I restart, everything goes well until I type in my password to log into my account. At that point, the screen goes black, and it never logs me in. The only way to resolve it is to boot in Safe Mode and restore my system to an earlier point. This only happens when I try to install XI and/or uninstall 7.0. I need XI for work, so I really need to get this figured out as soon as possible.
I am running on Windows 7.
Thanks!
Josh

Ned,
Thanks for your quick response.
Will it crash the system or will there just be glitches or inconsistencies in the performance of W8? I’m willing to live with the latter, but definitely not the former.

Problems Uninstalling Acrobat 9 pro ...

I was wondering if anyone else was having problems uninstalling Acrobat 9 Pro. I run an IT department and have tried everything that can think of to get the thing uninstalled. Nothing's working, it continuously comes up with errors saying that it can't uninstall, that there is already a newer version of Acrobat installed, or some other random errors. The computer is an "extra"computer, and the cd key for Acrobat 9 Pro is now installed on another machine. All I want to do is take Acrobat 9 off and reinstall Acrobat 8.
Any suggestions?

Deactivate before uninstalling (unless this is a volume license). Then use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup tool.

I downgraded from CC to CS6, and Acrobat XI is now in trial mode. How can I use the Acrobat X that comes with the CS6 Master Collection disc? Should I uninstall Acrobat XI then install Acrobat X? What about de-/reactivation?

I've read about deactivating/reactivating with Photoshop. If applicable, how is that done?
Macbook Pro 16GB Mac OS X 10.9.4

deactivating is done by opening a programs > click help > click deactivate.
that's not applicable to cc apps.
to use acrobat x, uninstall acrobat xi, clean and then install acrobat x, Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

Can't uninstall Acrobat 7 in Win 7 XP mode

Badly in need of some advice...
I have Win 7 Professional edition, which has XP mode. I have Acrobat Standard 7.0 installed in XP mode, which very badly in XP mode. So now I've bought Acrobat Pro XI -- but haven't tried to install it because I can't find any way to uninstall Acrobat 7.0 -- it isn't listed in Add/Remove programs (in fact, NO programs that I installed in XP mode are listed).
I've searched (a lot) online and can't find anyone posting about this problem. Does anyone have any idea how to uninstall Acrobat 7.0 when it is installed in Win 7's XP mode?
If nobody knows the answer to this, does anyone know whether installing Acrobat Pro XI with Acrobat 7.0 already on my computer will create problems? -- Will Acrobat XI automatically uninstall 7.0 (even if 7.0 is installed in Win 7's XP mode?!)?
Thanks very much for any help!!

SOLVED! And I can't believe how dense some people can be -- and here I'm referring to me. For anyone who may have this problem, this is the solution I found:
When you've started Win 7's XP mode, you get a plain-Jane desktop screen with icons of the programs you've installed in XP mode. I have searched for a way to get to Add/Remove XP programs, but never could find it. The reason is, at least on my monitor, that I couldn't see the Start button in XP mode. Putting the cursor on the bottom of the screen just makes the Win 7 start button visible. I had to click -- just once -- on the scroll bar in order to make the XP start button visible.
Once it was, I easily got to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs, and there, lo and behold!, Acrobat 7.0 was listed. I uninstalled it easily.
I hope this can help someone else. It sure was frustrating!

Cannot view PDF files with Reader once we uninstall Acrobat X Professional

Our office recently installed Acrobat X Professional on all of our computers. One of our groups uses Adobe Reader to view documents in a medical records system. The documents are imported into the system via an interface that converts them to PDFs. Before the installation of Acrobat X, the documents were viewable with Adobe Reader. We were told that the medical record system is not compatible with Acrobat X, but it is with Acrobat 9. After we uninstall Acrobat X, the documents are still not viewable with Adobe Reader. We were told to unistall all Adobe products, but we are unable to uninstall the Reader. We are running Window XP Professional SP3. Is there a way to completing uninstall Reader? Or do you have any other suggestions?

Here's my problem, running 10.7.3 and Safari.
I installed the 10.1.3 and have been running in 64 mode. If when viewing a PDF I choose File>Save As... I get a dialog saying "Export as... and upon trying to do so I get an error message that it can't export.
If, however, I choose the little floppy icon in the popup at the bottom I get a "Save a copy as..." and everything works as expected.
If I delete the Adobe plugins as specified in earlier posts, I get the Preview view of PDFs in Safari and Save As works normally.
I tend to like Adobe's viewer because it defaults to a bigger view, otherwise it's apples/oranges, er adobes.

Problems after uninstalling Acrobat 10

I recently installed and then uninstalled a trial version of Acrobat 10. Now when I try to make a pdf in Acrobat 9, I get an error message that the distiller cannot find a file in an Acrobat 10 folder (which has been deleted). How can I get the distiller in 9 to work again. I already tried uninstalling and re-installing it, as well as running it in repair mode. Nothing seems to work.

Sorry to hear about the trouble. We've heard some reports of similar issues with files not opening after the 11.0.01/10.1.5/9.5.3 updates were installed. I would suggest uninstalling Acrobat, the reinstalling and patching up to 10.1.4 again as an immediate solution.
To help us figure out what may be going with your particular files, could you open one in Acrobat and choose File > Properties. I'd like to know what it says next to the PDFProducer and Application lines.
