Uninstalling All Versions of Application Prior to Installation

Hey Guys - 
For the application Adobe Reader (X and XI), I've created custom source files/folders which have the updates slipstreamed into them plus include Transforms created with the Adobe Customization Wizard.  Once made into Applications, they deploy / install
as intended.
On some systems which have older versions of Reader installed, the users try to install the new versions which fail.  I've found that uninstalling their old version then trying to install from App Catalog works fine therefore I'm trying to add a function
in each Adobe Reader Application (X & XI) to uninstall first using "msiexec /x {AC76BA86-7AD7-1033-7B44-AA1000000001} for X and another GUID for XI.
I planned on adding a new deployment type and making it a pre-requisite - but - how do I configure a Detection Method for an uninstall?  All of this would be super easy in a Task Sequence or Program, but not in a an Application.  I tried creating
a batch file which uninstalled then made a new empty directory in a hidden area to set as detection method but failed.
Any Suggestions?  Thanks!
Ben K.

Hi,
Use the PS App Deployment Toolkit,
https://psappdeploytoolkit.codeplex.com/
It has a feature to uninstall "Adobe Reader" for instance and it will uninstall all installed versions of a Adobe Reader. Works Great!

  • Uninstalling All versions of Java from Windows Silent

    Hi Everyone,
    If there is something somewhere on Sun sites that does this already I appologize, but I have to get all previous version of Java from Sun uninstalled from over 700 hundred PCs and so I have created a set of scripts to uninstall all previous versions.
    You would copy 'java-uninstall.bat' and 'java-uninstaller.vbs' to c:\temp (make sure you have one) the script can be modified for another location of your choosing. Then you can execite the batch file or have it scheduled to do that with the NT 'AT' command. It will uninstall anything that shows up in Add/Remove programs with 'Java' in the displayname and 'Sun' as the publisher. This would including removal of SDK amd JRE versions, so keep that in mind.
    This could probably be used in the login script, but thats not how I deploy updates, it may be fashioned to work with SMS, I don't know. I have a script that goes through network copying files to c$ shares and scheduling it for later in the night.
    Also note this just uninstalls the older versions I have another script that does the reinstalling of the newer version.
    Files below:
    [java-uninstall.bat]
    REM <start>
    @echo off
    if not exist c:\temp\. mkdir c:\temp
    REM Export the Uninstall registry keys
    start /wait "" REGEDIT /E c:\temp\registry.tmp HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall
    REM Filter only the {} keys that Java might be in
    type c:\temp\registry.tmp | find /i "\{" | find /i "}]" > c:\temp\uninstall.tmp
    REM Run the Vbscript that uses this file to find Java Sun entries to uninstall
    cscript c:\temp\java-uninstaller.vbs
    REM <end>
    [java-uninstaller.vbs]
    '<start>
    Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    Dim fso, MyFile
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2
    'Open the exported registry file
    Set MyFile = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\temp\uninstall.tmp", ForReading)
    Do While mYFile.AtEndOfStream <> True
         ReadLineTextFile = MyFile.ReadLine
         Uninstall = ReadLineTextFile
         CLSID = Mid(Uninstall, 73, 38)
         On Error Resume Next
         'DisplayName
         DisplayName=WshShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\"+CLSID+"\DisplayName")
         'Publisher
         Publisher=WshShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\"+CLSID+"\Publisher")
         'Search for presence of Java and Sun in DisplayName and Publisher
         search1 = Instr(1, DisplayName, "Java", 1)
         search2 = Instr(1, Publisher, "Sun", 1)
         'Execute removal if there is a match
         Uninstaller="MsiExec.exe /X"&CLSID+" /QN"
         if search1>0 And search2>0 Then Return = WshShell.Run(Uninstaller , 1, TRUE)
    Loop
    '<end>

    Here is a batch file that I wrote to accomplish the same objective of uninstalling all versions of Java Virtual Machine JVM from a XP/Vista box:
    You can name it anything you like, such as cleanjava.bat:
    @echo off & cls
    Rem List all Installation subkeys from uninstall key.
    echo Searching Registry for Java Installs
    for /f %%I in ('reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall') do echo %%I | find "{" > nul && call :All-Installations %%I
    echo Search Complete..
    goto :EOF
    :All-Installations
    Rem Filter out all but the Sun Installations
    for /f "tokens=2*" %%T in ('reg query %1 /v Publisher 2^> nul') do echo %%U | find "Sun" > nul && call :Sun-Installations %1
    goto :EOF
    :Sun-Installations
    Rem Filter out all but the Sun-Java Installations. Note the tilda + n, which drops all the subkeys from the path
    for /f "tokens=2*" %%T in ('reg query %1 /v DisplayName 2^> nul') do echo  . Uninstalling - %%U: | find "Java" && call :Sun-Java-Installs %~n1
    goto :EOF
    :Sun-Java-Installs
    Rem Run Uninstaller for the installation
    MsiExec.exe /x%1 /qb
    echo  . Uninstall Complete, Resuming Search..

  • Want to uninstall all versions

    In the past I have installed multiple versions of Visual Studio Express (2008, 2010, 2012, 2013). Included in this is multiple versions of SQL Server. I just want a fresh start. I know not to uninstall any versions of .NET Framework or the C++ Redistributables.
    I have uninstalled all versions of Visual Studio. (My plan is to have just the 2013 version installed in the end). I'm using Window 7. In Programs and Features there are 28 different entries with SQL Server listed in them. Including 2005, 2008, 2012 and such.
    I would like to clear these out and start with just one version. I'm sure I can just Uninstall all 28 entries but I don't want to break any pre-existent software that might be using an older version.
    Is there a way to delete all of these, then install just a latest version and not break any software?
    Thanks,

  • Uninstalling all Creative Cloud applications at once?

    I have a lab of 20 machines with Adobe CC installed on them. I need to uninstall all programs related to the Adobe CC suite. I do not want to uninstall each program one at a time on each machine. Is there an uninstaller exe or a script that can help me out?  I have net support manager to help me somewhat remotely do things. I am not the admin i just get assign to refresh labs.

    Windows
    Open the Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features
    Choose an app and click Uninstall/Change
    Follow on-screen instructions
    Im assuming you are referring to this as the uninstall process. This still requires me to uninstall each application individually.
    I would like to unistall all highlighted programs.

  • How Do I uninstall all versions of Firefox silently via script?

  • Uninstall all previous versions

    I am looking to uninstall all previous versions of Sun Java from my network and standardise on 1_4_2_03.
    previous versions include various ones between 1_2 and 1_4_2_02.
    It would seem you need to uninstall each version individually, what I need is a way to uninstall all versions in one go, this would need to be able to run silently.
    Has anyone come up with a way as I have been unable to find a single catch all way on the Sun web site.

    Thought it would be the case. Looks like I might need to go for a folder/regkey delete and reinstall. Its anoying that Java installs to a different folder with each version rather than over writing. I am sure Sun has its reasons.

  • The "hanging/freezing/not responding" problem that existed in all versions of Firefox 3.6 persists in Firefox 4.0

    Starting on April 14, 2011, I tried installing Firefox 4.0, which I downloaded from the Mozilla site. The first couple of times I tried to install it, it corrupted Firefox file places.sqlite. I know this because the install renamed the file to places.sqlite.corrupt. Luckily, I had recent backups. My previous installed versions were 3.5.18, which I had been using up to this time, and 3.6.16. I tried installing 4.0 with 3.6.16 installed, which I installed only for the sake of installing 4.0, and with no previous version installed and got the same bad results. I finally got a "successful" install on April 16, 2011, with no previous version installed.
    Early on I discovered that Firefox 4.0 hangs (Firefox not responding) when left to idle for exactly 5 minutes (I timed it several times after immediately starting Firefox), pegging a constant 50% of the CPU when it hangs. I left it in a hanging state for up to half an hour, but nothing changed. This problem existed for all versions of Firefox 3.6, which is why I didn't install version 3.6.16 until I was ready to install version 4.0. I never kept any version of Firefox 3.6 installed for more than a couple of hours because of this problem. I need to be able to let Firefox stay idle for long periods of time -- certainly for more than 4 minutes and 59 seconds -- without having it hang, and I was able to do that with all versions of Firefox prior to version 3.6. It's incomprehensible that Firefox 4.0 has to always hang if it's inactive for more than 4 minutes and 59 seconds, and it's incomprehensible that this problem has been present and persistent since version 3.6 was introduced. To believe that 4 minutes and 59 seconds is sufficient idle time for a browser is absurd. This was never an issue with any version of Firefox prior to version 3.6, this was never an issue with Netscape, and it's not an issue with IE 8.
    There are 2 other problems related to the hanging problem. If the browser and the bookmarks library are both open and the browser is closed normally, the bookmarks library remains open. After being left idle for exactly 5 minutes, the bookmarks library hangs, pegging a constant 50% of the CPU. If Firefox 4.0 is restarted before the 5 minute idle limit, it starts successfully. If an attempt is made to restart it after the 5 minute idle limit, it won't start. If the bookmarks library is left open for less than 5 minutes after the browser is closed, it can be closed successfully. In all versions of Firefox prior to version 3.6, the bookmarks library automatically closed when the browser was closed. The other related problem is that Firefox 4.0 occasionally pegs a constant 50% of the CPU without hanging even while it is being used and even if the only thing open is the home page, which in my case is google.com. Firefox can be used while this is happening, but it is worrisome and shouldn't be happening. Normally, Firefox 4.0 uses no CPU when it is left to idle within the 5 minute idle limit.
    Firefox 4.0 has not crashed on its own yet, so I've had no crash reports to send to Mozilla, but because I've had to use the "End Now" button on the Microsoft unresponsive program window numerous times to terminate it when it hangs, numerous Microsoft Windows dump reports have been generated, all of which I've sent to Microsoft.
    The last fully working version of Firefox I had was 3.5.18. Unfortunately, I don't have the installer for that version and Mozilla doesn't make it available anymore. Also, it looks like version 4.0 altered the places.sqlite file such that I might not be able to go back to version 3.5.18 even if I could. If I could reinstall version 3.5.18 and get it to work with the altered places.sqlite file, I would, but it is outdated and no longer supported by Mozilla, and I only want to use up-to-date and supported software.
    The hanging problem is totally intolerable and unacceptable. If I can't get a version of Firefox 4.0 anytime soon that doesn't hang after being idle for just 5 minutes (why 5 minutes???) or for any limited amount of time, I'll have to install and use Google Chrome as a permanent replacement for Firefox. (If I do have to replace Firefox with Google Chrome, how can I get my Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail links to open in Google Chrome when I click on them?) Based on other user feedback regarding this problem dating back to the very first Firefox 3.6 version, Mozilla has had ample time to resolve it. I have found other problems with Firefox 4.0, but I'm not going to bother telling Mozilla about them because if the hanging problem isn't resolved soon, I'll have to stop using Firefox permanently. I can't and won't tolerate the hanging problem. I have been using Firefox exclusively for many years, but my disappointment with it has been growing since version 3.6 was introduced and my patience has run out.
    I would appreciate Mozilla letting me know within a week of this posting if they can't or won't fix the Firefox 4.0 hanging problem. If I don't receive a substantive response to this problem within a week, I'm going to have to abandon Firefox permanently and switch to Google Chrome. I'm also going to leave a negative review of Firefox 4.0 on CNET to warn other potential users of the hanging problem.
    I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition 32-bit SP3 on a Dell XPS 400 desktop computer. I have an Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz, 3.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 RAM @ 265MHz, RADEON X300 SE 128MB HyperMemory, and 190GB of free space on my hard drive. I am using COMODO as my firewall and Avira AntiVir as my anti-virus software. I am also using WinPatrol and Secunia PSI. My ISP is AT&T. My download speed averages 2.5 Mbps, and my upload speed averages 0.65 Mbps. All of my software is up to date, thanks to Secunia PSI and CNET TechTracker, and my computer is free from infection.

    Another aspect of the Firefox 4.0 "hanging/freezing/not responding" problem has emerged. I have found that on the common occurrence when Firefox 4.0 occasionally pegs a constant 50% of the CPU while idling within the 5 minute idle limit and I close it normally, it disappears from the Task Bar but continues to run and continues to peg a constant 50% of the CPU. I tried restarting Firefox 4.0 and got the following message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." Before Firefox can be restarted, the existing Firefox process must be killed via the Task Manager or Process Explorer (I use the latter), after which a Microsoft Windows dump report is immediately generated. I always allow the dump to be sent to Microsoft.
    The three big questions that have gone unanswered by Mozilla are 1) why did the hanging problem start with the very first release of Firefox 3.6, 2) why was the problem allowed to continue on up to and through Firefox 4.0, and 3) why hasn't Mozilla fixed the problem yet? And what is the significance of the 5 minute idle limit? Do Firefox 3.6 through 4.0 try to launch something when the browser and/or the bookmarks library have been idle for exactly 5 minutes? Maybe it's a problem with the number and/or type of plugins and extensions and/or the number of bookmarks. Maybe Firefox 3.6 through 4.0 work just fine if there are few to no plugins, extensions, and bookmarks, but that doesn't realistically accommodate users. Whatever the cause of the problem, Mozilla should have had a handle on it by now.
    If anyone from Mozilla Support is reading this post, please let me know if it is possible to roll back Firefox 4.0 to Firefox 3.5.18. If it is possible, how do I do it, and where can I get the installer for Firefox 3.5.18? If I can reinstall it, I'll use it until Secunia Software Inspector informs me that it is insecure and no longer safe to use. At that point (maybe much sooner), I'll switch to Google Chrome exclusively because I don't want to use outdated software that is insecure and because I don't believe that Mozilla intends to fix the hanging problem and is willing to lose users over it. I certainly don't want to use software like Firefox 4.0 that has such an impactful problem. If I do have to abandon Firefox, how can I click on Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail links and get them to open in Google Chrome?

  • Silently uninstall older version of Firefox

    I need to create a wise package to check for older version of Firefox then uninstallt them. For the newer version, I can use the -ms switch to do silent uninstall. But for older version like ver 3.6.17, this switch doesn't work. What is the silent uninstall switch for older Firefox version?

    This says:
    Silent uninstall:
    All version of Firefox

    I have just been told by Adobe that I have to UNINSTALL ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THEIR APPLICATIONS IN ORDER TO USE THE NEW 2014 VERSIONS. No software update is worth the time it will take to do that!!!!! I don't know about the rest of you but I am woefully disappointed in Adobe. I pay on time every single month SINCE CREATIVE CLOUD BECAME AVAILABLE and now they place this on me? NOT HAPPY.

    THE LATEST AND THE LAST:
    Oh, and I'm on a MAC, not a PC so how could my database be corrupted?
    Shruthi: The caps.db file is located in Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps folder
    Shruthi: Can you try uninstalling from Adobe installers.
    Susan Meredith: You folks don't understand. Most of us are very excited at the new "bells and whistles" that Adobe has introduced and in the past we've been able to QUICKLY update to the new version. We haven't had to uninstall anything to get the new. We are all working and have deadlines. This is A HARDSHIP ON ADOBE'S USERS AND THEY NEED TO FIX IT ON THAT END. Or give up some monthly fees.
    Susan Meredith: There are many ways to uninstall. I can do it through "CleanMyMac". But now I don't trust that Adobe's programs will actually download and then I'm in trouble...and out of business.

    Tried it 2 times and no luck.  Any advice for me?
    Maureen

    I get a message that says, "An Apple Application support is required to run iTunes on this computer. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Install errors with many 2014 apps and can we safely uninstall previous versions post-installation of the new releases?

    I'm getting errors for several CC 2014 applications. The CC desktop says "Installation Failed", and yet some have actually been installed despite the failed message.
    I also want to know if we can/should uninstall the old versions (CC and CC 64-bit) before (or after?) updating, because rather than upgrading the applications (which would have been nice), it just installs alongside them....so now I have 3 versions of Illustrator, 3 versions of PS, etc. I don't want all these versions, only the latest. Is it safe to uninstall the older versions (CC and CC 64) post-failed-installation of 2014, or should I just uninstall all and reinstall?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    A bit of repetition, mainly for the benefit of anyone else with the same issue. In your case the "for older video cards" version might be worth a try.
    When cleaning folders you need to check both the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders, which you may well have done but didn't mention in the detail above.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
