Uninstall failing at "Removing Adobe Dynamiclink Support"

Question

Windows XP Pro SP2.
I'm trying to uninstall Design Premium so I can install Master collection. I'm on my second attempt after restoring the drive from an image. The unistaller is freezing (apparently) at Removing Adobe Dynamiclink Support, about 85% through the process. I did NOT check the remove preferences box.
First time I finally used Task Manager to terminate, then restarted the process through control panel. It seemed to have finished, but left a few things behind (some Rorohiko plugin stuff and custom scripts in ID, and a Configurator custom panel in Photoshop), so I tried to install the Master collection.
That froze, installing the Adobe Dynamiclink support, so I used Task Manager agin and restored the drive. The uninstaller is currently stuck at the same point.
I don't think that having only SP2 is the problem (Design Premium has installed just fine on this machine and my laptop, both on SP2).
Has anyone seen this? The clean script will probably be my next step.

I believe I've found the problem, in case anyone else runs across this.
During the first attempt at installing the Master collection, the installer said processcoordinationserver.exe was running and preventing the intallation fom proceeding and should be terminated.
With the uninstall frozen, I checked Task Manager, and the same process was running, so I took a flyer and terminated it. The uninstall completed.
MC installer froze at the same point again, so I wnt back to Task Manager and ended the same process one more time. I'm now about half-way through with the installation, so we'll see.
