Uninstall previous version with Adobe Customized Wizard

Good day everyone. I am just beginning to use Adobe Customized wizard 9 to be used with SCCM (newer version of SMS).  I have already extracted the exe to get to the msi file, but looking at the wizard, these options are grayed out and cannot be checked off.  Actually the option to remove previous versions of Acrobat is checked (which I need it unchecked) and remove previous versions of Reader is unchecked. Any idea of the work around? We currently have in our environment versions 6-9 and we want everyone to be upgraded to 9.2.   Also will this Customized wizard corrupt or change any settings for those that have both ReEader and Writer?  Any help or info greatly appreciated.  Thanks

You may want to try the following.
Remove all traces of Reader (not only the program) from your system using the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. This is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can produce problems with Win 7, but you can still download it from from places like

Then, if you want to install Reader, download its  installer from
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
and perform a clean install.

  • Should I uninstall previous versions of adobe software when I install a new version?

    I have been using Creative Cloud for a couple of years now and have always wondered why I would need an older version of the software. Considering these unused versions of software are just sitting on my hard drive and taking up space.... can anyone think of any good reason why I shouldn't uninstall these old software versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.?
    Thanks, Tom

    It can depend on which versions these older versions are.  If they are Cloud versions then I wouldn't think twice about getting rid of the older ones.  But if they are from a Creative Suite you might find that they have functionality that the newer versions had stripped out of them  Flash, for instance, had a number of useful functional elements ripped out of it when they came out with the Cloud version.

  • Adobe Reader Customization uninstall previous versions

    Hello, I deployed Adobe Reader XI through Group Policy, Windows Server 2003. I used the Adobe Reader XI Customization Tool, and created a transform. I left the option checked to uninstall previous versions of Reader. Adobe Reader XI installed with all other settings configured properly that were created in the transform; however, the previous version, Adobe Reader X, did not uninstall. Has anyone experience this issue? If so, how did you get the other version of Adobe uninstalled?

    Make sure the last thing you do in the wizard (right before you save) is check the box. There is a current bug in the customization wizard that will uncheck that option if you do anything else afterwards. There is a note of the bug in the wizard documentation located here (see the note in section 6.2): http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Wizard/installoptions.html#remove-insta lled-products
    The note reads: "There is a current bug in which this checkbox becomes unchecked if any other feature is configured. Therefore, if you want to remove all versions of Reader, check this box as your last action before you save the modified package."

  • Should I uninstall previous versions of Firefox?

    Should I uninstall previous versions of Firefox? I found 4 versions of Firefox in my control panel/programs & features. The latest version is 5.0.

    Quite honestly, unless you installed Firefox into a different Program Files folder yourself every time you installed a new version of Firefox, I doubt if those older versions are still installed. Don't '''Remove''' anything until you can verify that the older versions are in fact still there, by "touring" the Program Files set of folder thru the Windows Explorer file interface ''(not to be confused with the Internet Explorer web browser)''.
    When Firefox is updated, it installs the new version in the folder where the old version was. And, the Firefox installer uses the same folder all the time, except for the 4.0 beta versions and when the user does a '''"Custom"''' installation & selects a different folder than normal for Firefox.

  • Trusted certificates from your previous version of Adobe Reader were found.

    After upgrading Adobe Reader from 10 to 11, some users are getting "Adobe Reader Security - Trusted certificates from your previous version of Adobe Reader were found.  Would you like to import them."  I need to know what registry settings we can modify to either set this automatically to "Import" or "Use Default"  I need to add one of these options into our Adobe Reader Settings GPO that is using group policy preferences.  This only appears for users who have data in C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\Security and only the very first time the user opens Adobe Reader after the upgrade per user profile on a given server.

    I'm not sure this is true: "If they don't exist then there is no dialog. " Could be, but I've never heard of it.
    However, acrodata files perform a number of functions for several features, so removing them is unwise. Also, they will just come back when a user exercizes certain features.
    Better to just turn off the feature with the supported preference.

  • How do I go to a previous version of Adobe before 11.0.07, I can't print

    How do I go to a previous version of Adobe prior to 11.0.07.  Since installed I can't print .pdf.  I have Adobe XI 11.0.07 and Windows 7 - 64.

    Don't know if you can. Two approaches can be tried: 1. Try to install a previous update or 2. deactivate, uninstall, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove the Acrobat folder, reboot and reinstall. However, it is worth try an repair first. Also, you say you can't print and that is not very helpful to the rest of use to possibly help

  • How to uninstall previous versions of lightroom?

    how do you uninstall previous versions of lightroom?
    Do you also need to delete any folders?
    I have Updated to the new LR CC version a couple of days ago and need space.

    Knowing whether you are using a Mac or a PC would be rather important to answer your question.
    Anyhow, there is not need to delete any program folder manually. Simply use the respective method of your OS.
    LR CC created a copy of your LR5 catalog and upgraded it. If you remove LR5 you might want to remove the catalog file as well as the preview folder (make sure not to delete the new ones of LR CC ).

  • Do I need to uninstall previous versions??

    Hello,
    Do I need to completely uninstall previous versions of any CS2 (Bridge, or even After Effects 7 Pro) before installing After Effects CS3?
    Thank you!

    I'm having the same error message, too. AND I've already tried the cleanscript, several times. All the way to level 4. I still get the same message. And adobe support is absolutely useless. I tell them that Safari 3 beta seems to be a very predominant problem when installing CS3 and they tell me that there are no records of this occurence. Well, threads don't lie, honey. Your customers are pissed. And you know what's even worse? I HAD CS3 installed on my Mac and then something happens in Photoshop, tells me to uninstall then reinstall, and that's when this starts happening. Only the problem jumped to the rest of Adobe's applications and they told me I had to reinstall them, as well. Now, after running multiple scripts and erasing previous versions of Photoshop, I still have nothing.
    And what's even more ironic is those people who got a hacked version of the apps and didn't have to go through any of this. Soooo... what's the incentive to purchase from you Adobe?
