Uninstall missing for adobe 9...not on add/remove programs

I have 2 adobe readers now.  The desktop has adobe 9 and adobe x (inside says 10.1.1).  Downloaded newest a while ago.  I think I thought it would automatically uninstall 9, but I may have uninstalled it but is still there, because there isnot a line in add/remove list.  There is a line for the reader x (10.1.1)

Is it really still installed, or is it just a non-functioning desktop shortcut?
If it is still installed (without an uninstaller), then you can use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove the application.

  • How  do I unstall elements 6 in XP it's not in Add/Remove Programs

    I had elents 6 and when I installed 7 it said I didn't have to remove 6, so I didn't, just in case I didn't like 7 or needed 6.  Then I forgot about 6 being there and when I installed 8 it said I didn't have to uninstall 7, so I didn't uninstall it either.  Now I found 6 and want to uninstall it but it is not in Add/Remove Programs,  I searched the KB and it said when it couldn't be uninstalled with Add/remove you could do it manually.  then the directions for manual uninstall says Open Control Panel, go to Add/Remove programs, and uninstall Elements 6.  So it says essentially "if you can't do "This", then "Do This".
    After listening to music for about 40 minutes on the telephone, the Tech Support guy said I would have to pay him $40, or go to the KB .  I told him that the information in the KB was wrong when you searched "Uninstall Elements 6" and he said the only thing I could do was pay him $40, non refundable, and that if something went wrong with one of the other Adobe programs I would have to pay them to fix that!
    ANY SUGGESTIONS. . . PLEASE, otherwise I'll just leave 2,000+ files that take up half a gig, and hope it doesn't give me other problems in the future.  I was considering just deleting the Elements 6 folder and then use system mechanic to fix the registry.  or IF I can find the original CD, can I use it to uninstall it, or could I reinstall it, without it screwing up my 7 and 8, and see if it shows up in "Add/Remove Programs"?

    Find the original CD and launch the Setup.  If it doesn't give you the option of removing the current installation, install PSE 6 again and then uninstall it from the Control Panel.
    If that doesn't work, then you can follow the instructions in the tech note that you were reading:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408483.html
    Just skip the first section, "Run the Photoshop Elements 6 Uninstaller".  The remaining sections will lead you through a manual removal.  (I agree that the instructions are confusing.)
    But it's better to do reinstall and then uninstall if you can.

  • How do i uninstall McAfee from new G500 windows 8.1 laptop. It's not in add/remove programs

  • How to remove old NI Imaq if it is not in add remove programs

    I am upgrading from 6i to 8.o fo rlabview and vision development module.
    I need to remove my old IMQ before the new one will install.  It is not listed in my add/remove programs.  How do I remove it?

    Hi rscconrad,
    IMAQ 2.5.1 was a subcomponent of the LabVIEW installation and will reinstalling LabVIEW to remove the component. 
    Uninstall LabVIEW 6.x using Add/Remove Programs. This will remove the previous version of IMAQ.
    Install LabVIEW 6.x (or if possible, just install LabVIEW 8.0).  You will need to customize the 6.x installation so that IMAQ 2.5.x is not installed.
    Proceed with your upgrade.
    I hope this works for you.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Or Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:

  • I have installed Adobe Premiere Pro cc on my laptop, but I cant find a way to start the program. No Icon, and it is not showing up in the start meny. It is showing up in add/remove programs, but nt anywhere else.

    If you are using a Mac, simply hit Command-Spacebar to bring up Spotlight Search.  Begin typing the name of the application and when you see what you are looking for, press enter.  You should get a hit by the second or third letter you type.  Great way to launch apps on computers that you are not familiar with.
    Windows 7 and 8 should have something similar.  I think you simply press the Windows key and begin typing.  Press enter when you see a match.
    Both Mac and Windows search tools can be customized to search for applications, files, emails and so forth.  For Windows, look for Taskbar and Start Menu Properties.  For Mac, go to Preferences Spotlight.  Turn off items you know you won't need to speed up searches.

  • 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!

  • 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 to Uninstall iTunes when not in Add/Remove

    How do you uninstall iTunes when it does not appear in Add/Remove programs. For the record, I have used the Window Install Clean-up Utility as described in another thread. Although iTunes appeared in the utilities' list, and seemed to process my request to uninstall (it disappeared from the list), all iTunes program files still remain on my computer, and the icon still appears on my desktop.
    Thanks - Jeff.

    I figured it out.

  • 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.
    Valen

    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.

  • 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

  • Windows App Certification Kit - Test Fails for Validate Desktop App at "Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values"

    Hi,
    I am trying to validate a .Net Framework 4 WinForms application for use in the Microsoft Partner Network portal.
    I am using Windows App Certification Kit 3.4 for Windows 8.1 , and the Validate Desktop App option.
    To build the package I am using InstallShield 2012 SPR Limited Edition (for Visual Studio), and the validation fails
    only with the following error (please also see the attached image):
    Clean reversible install test: Failed to Write appropriate Add/Remove Program values
    Error Found: The registry population test detected the following error: app didn't create the required registry entries.
    A non-optional value 'DisplayName' is missing or invalid (same for 'Publisher', 'ProductVersion')
    Please note that I have filled in all the publisher/product details in the InstallShield project, on the General Information page.
    Also I have tried to use the Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Project for VS2013, and the validation failed with the exact same error.
    (https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/9abe329c-9bba-44a1-be59-0fbf6151054d)
    Any help would be very appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You may need to add the necessary info to the app’s Windows Installer package so it can configure Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel correctly. Setting these properties automatically writes the corresponding values into the registry. From the picture,
    you are missing some necessary information about your desktop app.
    Also You need the correct admin permissions to write to the registry.

  • 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.
