  • Can't update or uninstall Adobe Reader 9 on Windows 7

    I keep getting a message to update Adobe Reader, but when I try I get a message:
    'Adobe uninstall update failed could not open hkey-local-machine\software\microsoft\windows\current version\run\optionalcomponants\imail'
    I tried also uninstalling it through the control panel. Shows it uninstalling with a progress bar and then the same error message pops up and the progress bar goes in reverse till finally there is no uninstalling of the Adobe Reader.
    Is there some other way to uninstall and reinstall Abobe Reader? Are there instructions available somewhere to uninstall Adobe Reader manually which include the registry keys to unistall for Adobe Reader 9? I have seen step by step instructions for earlier versions, but I don't know if those would be the same for later versions like Adobe Reader 9.

    Can you please try the following:
    1. Download Microsoft's SubinACL tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe -4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en
    2. Install the same by double clicking on the "subinacl.msi" just downloaded.
    3. Open Command Prompt window through the Run Dialog Box (Vista/Win7Start -> type "cmd". In the section above you should be able to see a command.exe. Right click on the same and select Run As Administrator)
    4. In the Command Prompt window, type in the following commands:
        i. cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools" (Hit Enter)
       ii. subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\OptionalComponents /grant=administrators=f /grant=SYSTEM=f /grant=USERS=f /grant="Creator Owner"=f (Hit Enter)
    Try updating Reader now, it should work.

  • Cannot uninstall Adobe Reader 7.0.8...keep getting "Error 1402" message..

    Hello. I use Windows XP Home Edition. I am trying to uninstall Adobe Reader 7.0.8 so I can then install version 9, but I am not able to uninstall 7.0.8. During the uninstallation process, I get the following error message:
    *****Error 1402. Could not open key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\{C523F39 F-9C83-11D3-9094-00104BD0D535}\Programmable.
    Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.*****
    I went to another forum and asked for some help there...the guy there gave me some steps to follow, and I did so. Here they are:
    1. Deleted "Adobe Reader Speed Launch" shortcut from Startup folder.
    2. Deleted the Adobe folder (which contained 2 other folders: Acrobat 6.0 and Acrobat 7.0) from C:\My Computer\Local Disk\Program Files. I had to use a separate program (provided by my helper who gave me these steps to follow) called "Unlocker" to accomplish this, since, originally, when I tried to delete this Adobe folder, I would get a message saying "Cannot delete pdfshell.dll: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." Unlocker solved this problem, and was able to delete the Adobe folder.
    3. Rebooted machine
    4. Ran CCleaner's registry cleaner
    5. Rebooted machine again
    6. Tried using CCleaner's "Uninstall" utility to uninstall Adobe Reader 7.0.8. When I tried this, I got the same "Error 1402" message as listed above.
    7. Backed-up my registry
    8. Tried to just delete this particular offending key using RegEdit...but when I tried, I got a message saying this:
    *****ERROR DELETING KEY
    Cannot delete Programmable: Error while deleting key.*****
    I really need some assistance with this...at the moment, Adobe Reader 7.0.8 still seems to be installed on my machine (it's still listed in "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel, and it still shows up in CCleaner's Uninstall Utility)...despite the fact that, as I mentioned above, I used Unlocker to delete the Adobe folder from Program Files. Also, at this moment, no pdf files will open on my machine...so this is quite an urgent situation. Does anyone know what else I should do now? Is there something I need to do regarding the "Permissions" for this particular registry key?
    I appreciate anyone's assistance...thanks.

    Hi..I went ahead and ran the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. I used it to remove "Adobe Reader 7.0.8." After doing this, I checked in "Add/Remove Programs" in the Control Panel to make sure that AR 7.0.8 was gone, and it thankfully was. Then I deleted the WICU, ran CCleaner's registry cleaner, rebooted, and tried to install Adobe Reader 9.0. When I tried this, I got the following error message (this occurred during the time when the installer was "writing system registry values"):
    *****ADOBE READER 9 INSTALLER INFORMATION
    Error 1402. Could not open key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\{C523F39 F-9C83-11D3-9094-00104BD0D535}\ProgID.
    Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.*****
    What should I do now? Do I need to do something about the "permissions" for this key?
    Thanks to anyone with advice...

    I am having trouble printing a PDF document. Whenever I click print nothing happens but when I am printing documents from Word, Excel etc they print without a problem.

  • I Cannot Uninstall Adobe Reader X (10.1.6), Please Help!

    I need to Uninstall Adobe Reader X (10.1.6)
    Adobe Reader X (10.1.6) is crashing everytime so I tried to uninstall it in Control Panel. I get the message "This patch package could not be opened. Verify that  the package perhaps exists and that you can access it..." This page http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-1635-patch-package-not.html explains so well but not for my Adobe version 10.1.6 - I don't have the file HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer if I wanted to apply it...I know Adobe has a  cleaner but I don't see it's for Adobe 10.1.6. I have Windows version 5.1 Service Pack 3 Professional. I need to study some PDF files downloading a new working Adobe Reader. Your help is appreciated, thank you very much!!!

  • How do I uninstall adobe reader from my iPad 4?

    I can only preview first page of documents on a website that says I should be able to open them in adobe reader. how can I fix this? Do I need to uninstall adobe reader and reinstall? How is that done on an iPad? I did update the reader, turn off iPad and restart. Made no difference. Thanks.

    I suspect that the particular type of your documents may not be supported by the Reader mobile products.  (However, you should be able to open them in the desktop version of Reader on your Windows/Mac computer.)
    Do you see an error message?  Could you provide a screenshot and add it to your next reply?
    Thank you for your help.

  • Silently Uninstalling Adobe Reader 9

    Hi all,
    I am looking to silently uninstall Adobe Reader 9 due to the same exact problems posted in the below link:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5c482
    *It's the C++ Visual Runtime Error due to the appdata folder redirection.
    Does anyone have a way to uninstall with either the Adobe Customization Wizard 9 (which I used to roll it out) or do I need to work with msiexec and it's parameters? I will be uninstalling from all Windows XP-based machines if that helps.
    Thanks,

  • Unable to uninstall adobe reader 8.16 on windows xp

    I wanted to uninstal adobe reader 8 after finding I could use adobe reader 9, I uninstalled adobe reader and ended up having to restore my system after a server problem with the new software putting adobe 8 back. I tried to uninstall it again after switching off the machine for a while for the serer to recover, I still cant uninstall 8 even after installing adobe reader 9.

    I tried on the day to navigate the adobe site on dial up, adobe should cater to people on a budget if they are going to service us with a free reader. Personally I would prefer another program to decode a pdf document that does just that - without all the other stuff I will never use. Today I found I may be able to uninstall adobe 8 by running kb404307, I couldn't even find a download page for the fix. Once again I got frustrated with my pc and adobe.

    How do I uninstall adobe reader 11? I am running OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks. I have not configured it completely. When it ask if I wanted the reader to be the
    default instead of preview I said no and have tried to find  a way to uninstall it. Also what do I use when a file I am trying to open on a web site says it requires
    adobe reader if I don't use adobe reader?

    My Mavericks was loaded at the Genius Bar as I was unable to load it successfully even with telephone support help.  Can anyone tell me how to get to the Mavericks configuration referenced in several of the e-mails?

  • How do i uninstall Adobe reader XI

    I downloaded Adobe reader XI today and it messed up my Adobe Acrobat X.  I want to uninstall Adobe reader XI but it won't let me. How do I uninstall it.  I have Windows 7 home premium.

    I am not sure if different versions of Reader and Acrobat are supported in Windows, but you can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Acrobat and Reader from your computer:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    After that, you'll have to reinstall Acrobat. If you wish, then you can download the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.
    Naive question: do you really need to have both? Second naive question: if you do, would Reader X (same number version than your Acrobat) do?

  • Problem uninstalling Adobe Reader V8 link

    Hi,
    I have recently uninstalled Adobe Reader  8.0 and installed Version 9,0.
    Now I have a pop up box on booting which says it can't find  'C\Prog Files\ADOBE\Reader 8.0\Reader\ SL.EXE'
    After seeing this the first time I deleted it from the List - under Program Files on C Drive - but it still comes up and interferes with
    other booting programs.   Can anyone suggest how I can get rid of this? Thanks
    Ron Gaunt

    And if the problem persists, you can use the Windows Installer Cleanup utility to remove all remaining traces of the previous version of Reader:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    If you wish to be on the safest side, remove all traces of all versions of Reader, and reinstall the one you want.
