Uninstalling Photoshop 11 in order to load CS6

I am trying to install CS6, last week I installed a trial of Photoshop 11, CS6 said Photoshop 11 was running turn it of and re try. It was not running, I use Photoshop 10 and 7 so thought I would uninstall 11 as there is no much difference. When I tried to uninstall it I got this message "Another application has exclusive access to the fie C:\ProgramData|Adobe|PhotshopElements\11.01\ThumbDatabase.db3 ". So I am left with Photoshop 11 and cant load CS6. HELP!!!

you have photoshop elements 11, not photoshop 11, trial installed on your computer, correct?
you also have photoshop elements 7 and 10 installed on your computer, correct?
you are trying to install photoshop cs6, correct?

"Load files into Photoshop layers" completely missing from Bridge CS6

No options to load files into Photoshop layers. Why not, and how can I put several files into one Photoshop layer?
I'm using Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CC.

Hi JJMack - I just re-read your post. For some reason I thought you were suggesting to make sure "Open documents in Tabs" was selected, it was. Now I realize you were suggesting to turn it off! As another attemp to solve this problem I did de-select it today. Seemed to work for a good while. I was getting very excited, then, on the last set of images I had to do it displayed the same problem. But, it did go for quite a while without failing, and when it did I was thrashing about trying to make another app active. When loading documents like this - with "Open documents in Tabs" de-selected, Photoshop wants to put the loading images as the front-most window, no matter what other apps (Bridge, email, web etc) I click on in the dock. I think it is related to the bug you described effecting the "load files to stack" command.
Hopefully Adobe is looking at this - mind you, I have read reports of people having this problem in CS5! Looks like that was never resolved sadly.
I'll keep testing and post back.
I am looking to upgrade my video card to see if it's a video memory thing.
What is very weird though is the fact that this problem didn't present itself until after several weeks of working with this command with no problem. No additional apps installed, nothing changed. Why would it start happening only after a while?
Thanks again for your suggestion.

How to uninstall Photoshop CS6 when the "Adobe Installers" is missing from the Application/Utilities/.......(missing Adobe Installers)"?

I recently had all of our information from an older iMac transferred to a new iMac (transfer done through the Mac store). Now when I try to open up Photoshop CS6 from the dock, get a response that says :Configuration Error and below that "Error: 16". It also says to uninstall Photoshop and then to re-install it. The problem is that somewhere in the past, the Adobe Installer was deleted, so am unable to continue with the process- so am unable to uninstall. Appreciate any help. Have not had any problems prior to this.

I do not own a Mac and never have so I have little to offer in the way of how get something uninstalled on one. If the Cleaner did not recognize that you have CS6 installed there are two things I could think of that I would consider - 1) just try reinstalling CS6 2) just delete anything you can find relative to CS6 and try reinstalling it. The second is option is the least recommended from my standpoint since I do not know what the impact might be, but I don't think trying the first would hurt much... it might just get the installer in place and then provide you with the ability to uninstall.

I accidentally uninstalled photoshop cs6. Is there a way to reinstall it?

I noticed my Bridge was not working, because I think I accidentally deleted the icon when I was deleting images. I thought that if I uninstalled Photoshop cs6 and then reinstalled it I could get it back. I uninstalled Photoshop cs6 but now I do not know how to reinstall it?

CS6 installer download links should be on a page linked from here:

Do I need to uninstall CS5 before loading CS6?

Do I need to uninstall CS5 before loading CS6? I purchased the full version of CS6.

Hi pamelakirkpatrick ,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You dont need to uninstall existing version to install new version.
You might consider wiping the existing version if you no longer use it as storing multiple versions can occupy a lot of hard disk space.
Please reply for any assistance.
Thanks

I currently have CS3 on my computer, do I have to uninstall CS3 in order to download CS6 cloud apps?

I recently purchased a subscription to the CS Cloud - I currently have CS3 installed on my computer, do I have to uninstall CS3 in order to download CS6 cloud apps? Will there be any conflicts if I don't? I am currently running a website with CS3 and building a new one, I don't want to disrupt the current one until the new one is ready.

No there is no need to uninstall, you can run both on same machine without issues.

Help Installing After Uninstalling Photoshop CS6

Hello i am needing help. When i installed Photoshop it was flashing whenever i drew or selected a tool and stuff it would flash and photoshop would turn black then normal and it would keep doing that, ( I have Windows 8 Pro) and so i uninstalled Photoshop CS6 and then later on i needed it again so i tried reinstalling it but after it's done extracting it says it can't install because of some CameraRaw7 thing and i can't reinstall it PLEASE HELP!

The flashing is from Win8 and the GPU driver. Known problem but MS not doing much about it. In mean time set GPU to Basic in preference/performance
Camera raw is a plug in. What is the error?
FYI uninstalling and reinstally rarely solves the problems.

Uninstall Photoshop CS6 EXTENDED

How do I uninstall Photoshop CS6 EXTENDED - I did not ask for it and I do not want it

Well, you could if your serial number was for a Mac. The serial numbers are platform specific (Mac/Win).
With that issue not being considered, you would "deactivate" on one of your previous computers (as you mentioned), then install on another.

You can remove the software by going to Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers. You will find the uninstallers located there.

If you've already manually uninstalled and are in a bad state, you can use the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

Photoshop CS3 Extended error on load

Photoshop CS3 Extended
Windows 7 with all updates current
Error message on load 'could not initialize Photoshop because of a program error'
I'm running:
intel core i5
16 GB RAM
148 GB free on drive C
698 GB free on Drive D
465 GB free on drive E
465 GB free on drive F
2 DVD-R drives
All updates to Photoshop were installed last time I ran it with no problems.
No new hardware has been installed since.
Installed Classic Shell since last use, so I uninstalled it but the error persists.
Installed Diet Tracker but they don't interfere with each on on the system at home so I know there's no problem there.
Nothing else installed except Windows updates.
I tried restoring back to the last time I used it . . . still got the error, so undid the restore.
I tried repairing Photoshop . . . no change.
I uninstalled Photoshop, rebooted, installed Photoshop. it loaded slower then and the last thing I saw load was plugins then something about Python and then the error again.
When I try to open the program, it goes so fast that I can't see what's loaded and where it stops now.
I searched for like problems . . . found one that they found was caused by a sound driver on an ASUS board but it was different. I tried rolling back the sound driver anyway and it didn't fix it so I updated it again. There was a reference to check the Event Viewer which I know nothing about but I tried it anyway . . . found nothing.
Any help will be appreciated or if you know a way to debug the load or slow it down to see what it's trying to load please clue me in. Thank you for any help.

O, OK . . . didn't solve the problem anyway. I am sorry I can't figure this out on my own instead of taking up everyone else's time. Downloading and installing 12.6
New driver installed but this did not resolve problem; still getting the error message when trying to load the program
FIRST!!! I want to thank everyone for your help . . .
While waiting for another idea, out of casual curiosity because I hate Win 7, I right clicked the ocn for PS and checked the list of options. Since this was a reinstall, I clicked on the Troubleshoot Compatibility out of curiosity . . . got a choice to Try recommened settings or Troubleshoot programs; I clicked on the 'Try recommended settings' . . . it came up with recommendation of XP Pro setting and I clicked on it and up came PS and installed some more stuff.
I am sure this can't be the right answer or it would have never worked in the original install, but it worked for the re-install and that gets me up and running for the time being . . . now to further test and make sure it's working right.

You can try to download CC Cleaner Tool
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Select option for CS6/ creative cloud and select option for Photoshop CC , if listed.
If you are getting up to date error , you can also try:

Can't uninstall Photoshop CS

after discovering that users will now have to download Photoshop CS in order to activate rather than use the CDs, the solution includes removing the failed install of Photoshop CS. Now my Windows XP system is saying that there is any error using the remove tool in Control Panel
The screen says the setupdll/setupdll papp and some other gobbeldy **** about closing programs, etc. ,
tried a search for setupdll and found a file referred to in windows\system32 file, but not going further until some tech here advises

This also happened to me last night; my Photoshop CS lost its activation while trying to fix a Windows OS issue, and I found that it could not be reactivated due to the Adobe server shutdown for older products.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
I followed the link to the activation fix that would take me to CS2 version, however, I wanted to remove the CS version first. It would not uninstall using the regular Windows XP unistaller, reporting an error connecting to internet (probably needed code related to lost server activation ??).
For the heck of it, I inserted the original Photoshop CS software CD, assuming there was an uninstall option (there isn't). It finished its install thing, I re-entered the key code, it asked for activation, but couldn't complete for previously known activation support issue. I went back to Windows unistaller, and it worked this time, removing Photoshop CS without any issue ... the re-install from the CD must have overwritten a DLL or something flagged that had prevented the first unistall attempt. Good luck!
