Windows8:integrated flash player corrupted after uninstall Adobe Creative Suite

Initially, after conversion to Windows8, the flashplayer worked fine. After uninstalling Adobe Creative Suite trial software, the flash player corrupted and only the video portion works, no audio. Followed every single forum solution on Adobe Help site, endured 3+ hours of hold time with Miscrosoft warranty department, to no avail. Downloaded uninstall for the flash player and then uninstalled it and the system still reports the flash player is integrated in Windows 8!!!!!! and functioning. Do I have to re-install the operating system?
Please, someone? Anyone?

Do I have to re-install the operating system?
Nope.
Repair Internet Explorer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378
That'll put the embedded Flash Player back.

but at this point if I try to manually uninstall (with add/remove program) i get an error message saying "cirtical errors during installation: program installation database is incorrect, reinstall from original support" (maybe not accurate as it's in french)
same thing if i run manually the cleaner tool and go through the dialog.
I don't know what else I can do, I've already spent a couple of hours with this issue.
Any help / suggestion would be appreciated, thanks.

hi, thanks for your answer, actually this is what I have to do:
I have to uninstall cs4 english to install it back in french. If I try reinstall with the french licence over the existing install, it starts in trial mode and ask for the licence.
So if I follow your advice I should reinstall, uninstall, then reinstall ( and I have to do that on 30 computers, through SCCM, not manually)
As you see it become quite complicated.
An other suggestions?
thanks

Can't Uninstall Adobe Creative Suite 5.5

I recently replaced my hardrive after a liquid accident. All files were recovered however most of my software will not open. I'm trying to follow the steps to uninstall Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 however when I go into utilities/Adobe Installers all I find is "Uninstall Adobe Creative Cloud" not "Uninstall Adobe Creative Suite 5.5".
I've searched all over and cannot find the uninstaller. Tried searching online to download the uninstaller but no luck there either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advnace,
Scott

Hi szmarketing,
Try using the Creative Suite Cleaner tool ( Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 ) to remove the software completely.
After removal you can re-download CS5.5 from Download CS5.5 products and use the serial number to activate the software.
Regards,
Rave

After reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

after reloading adobe creative suite cs3 on my mac 10.4.11 acrobat will not open any pdfs it previously opened. help!

hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back. i got some good info with a search or two. (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs, OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
from User /Preferences/Adobe:
com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
and from System Preferences:
the file: Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
and..
/.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
Debug Database.txt
Placeholder Preset.epr
PostEncodeCmds.pref
PresetCache.xml
Trace Database.txt
NOTE:
of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but... it seems to have worked.
I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering, so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
happy editing,
peace

Uninstalling Adobe Creative Suite

I recently installed an Adobe Creative Suite (Web Premium) upgrade on my MacBook Pro. Because of registration problems, Adobe sent me the full version instead.
I suspect all I need to do is enter the new serial number, but I think it would be best to go back to square one and install the full version. But do I need to uninstall the upgrade first? That seems the sensible thing to do, leading me to my real question: How?
Can I simply drag all the icons (Dreamweaver, Photoshop, etc.) from my Applications folder to the trash, or do I need to follow a more involved process? Should I restart my computer after deleting them?
Thanks.

No, the new CS3 apps cannot be properly uninstalled by just dragging them to the trash. Go to the /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers/ folder. First run the "Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium" app (or whatever yours is named). Follow the options to completely remove all CS3 programs. When that's complete, run the other item in the same folder, "Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit". It too has choices to completely remove its files. Once you have done both uninstall steps, then it will be complete and you can install the new version.

How to uninstall Adobe Creative Suite 2

Hello,
One of our computer broke at the office.
My collegua tried to install Adobe Creative Suite 2 on the new computer in June.
It didn't work.
Today I contacted the online assistance to install the program. The assistance explained me how to downloaded the 3 discs.
I did it but when I tried to open them when downloaded it asked me if I wanted to install/uninstall/delete it and then ask me to put the disc1 and didn't recognise the disc.
I understood that the last version downloaded on your website doesn't require any CD.
I tried to uninstall the old version but it didn't work.
Can you explain how to uninstall the old version to be able to open the new one?
Thank you in advance.

do you an old version installed now?
if yes, what os? if windows, use start>control panel>uninstall programs>uninstall the one of the cs2 programs and select all.

Pdf presets missing after uninstall of Creative Suite 5 trial

I recently uninstalled the trial version of Creative Suite 5 because I was sick of CS 5 trying to launch after the 30 day trial when I opened a file from the finder instead of directly from CS4. Now, whenever I go to "Save as a pdf", none of the preset PDF options are available. What gives? Will I have to bite the bullet and purchase CS5?

Try to re-install Acrobat from you CS4 disks.

Uninstall Adobe Creative Suite

I have purchased a new computer with Windows 8.1 and the old computer had Windows Vista and was very slow. I need to uninstall Adobe Creative Suite 3 and put it on the new computer. Is this possible and what do I need to do?

I have purchased an new computer with the Windows 8.1 OS. The old computer had Windows Vista and is just about to quit working altogether. I wish to uninstall it on that computer and deactivate it; so that I may install the software that I purchased (some years ago, but hardly used) on my new computer. Is that allowed and do I have the right idea about doing it? I have the serial number
and all that with the software.

How to identify version of Adobe creative Suite

I am working on packaging for Adobe Creative Suite. After installing Adobe Creative Suite Premium\Installer 1\Adobe Creative Suite\Setup.exe, I am not able to identify the version (like CS1 or CS2 or CS3 so on.........)of this product even in ARP entry its showing "Adobe creative Suite" only . I am also not getting how to do silent installation of this product because its not extracting any Install.xml OR deploy.xml,Uninstall.xml OR remove.xml,setup.xml,Application.xml.override files. Also no folder is there like Payloads and deployment.
So my question is how to identify version and how to do silent installation?

You don't. Registration is a one time thing that you do the first time you install an application. Once registered it does not need to be done again.
You should see if yoiu can have the activations reset before you try installing on a new machine so that you still have the two activations that are available to you. If not, you should still have an activation available for use with the new installation.
To reset activations contact Adobe Support and ask them to reset your activations.... For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...
Serial number and activation chat support (non-CC)
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service1.html ( http://adobe.ly/1aYjbSC )
To get it working on the new machine you just install and activate using the serial number you should already have.

Adobe creative suite cs5: unable to open files in photoshop. unable to drag objects on illustrator..

Adobe creative suite cs5: unable to drag objects on illustrator or indesign. unable to open files in photoshop, brush doesnt work in photoshop.
In the past I uninstalled adobe creative suite cs5 from my laptop, used the adobe creative cloud cleanup tool, restarted and then reinstalled the programs and everything worked again for about a week. Now everything has gone back to the way it was again and this time the uninstalling and reinstalling isnt helping.
Any ideas?
Im pretty desperate!!
Thanks
Alisa

Hi Alisa
I'm having exactly the same problem. Uninstalled CS4 and reinstalled the 30 day trial of the Creative Cloud and it's stil having the same glitches, not opening in photoshop and not being able to drag/move objects in Illustrator or inDesign.
Did you find a solution to this problem?
Thanks

Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium Education Edition

I was given an uninstalled Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium Education Edition by a guy who purchased the wrong product. He purchased a PC version but he has a Mac. He was unable to install it and unable to return it because the package was opened. He did however get a little way into the www.adobe.com/go/edu-validate system. He apparently got far enough into that process to enter the temporary product code and connect it to his email address. When I enter the product code, it asks me for the original email address. I don't have the guy's contact info. Is there any way to reset this so I can install the product?

Chances are it will be up to this guy to manage any reset. It will probably require transfering the license to you formally.
When you do get in touch with this guy again have him follow the requirements outlined in the page linked below.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/transfer-product-license.html
If you think you would like to try to convince someone at Adobe to make this change for you you can try by using the contact options linked below. But don't get your hopes up if the story remains at some guy who you can't contact gave it to you.
