Moderators Andavari Posted February 7, 2006 Moderators Share Posted February 7, 2006 Here's a couple of things you can do which will hopefully allow for it's proper uninstallation: * Uninstall it in Safe Mode. * Reinstall it to repair the uninstall program no need to download updates etc, reboot into Safe Mode, and then try to uninstall it.

Moderators rridgely Posted February 7, 2006 Moderators Share Posted February 7, 2006 Yeah andavari is right just reinstall it right over the current install, and then try to uninstall it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct - the uninstall feature produced the same error message. The other 2 assists (thank you for trying) also failed. I have formatted via the symantec restore (using a dell 3000) so all ok now - just a pain putting it all back together again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formatted to get rid of it? Not wise, but too late. If it wouldn't have uninstalled on my system I would have attempted to unregister it, disable all processes and then manually removed it, e.g.; delete the f'r and then run a horde of registry cleaners to make sure it was gone. That's how I completely got rid of Outlook Express which doesn't have an uninstaller that I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spelbynder Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I had the same problem recently, when I updated Adobe Reader from 7.0.5 to 7.0.7. An error message kept coming up saying "this patch package could not be opened..." Tried to physically uninstal 7.0.5 - wouldn't let me. Tried reinstalling 7.0.5 via CD then uninstalling it - wouldn't let me. Eventually, after a quick search on Major Geeks I came across Your Uninstaller! 2006, which can and does uninstal any difficult application very easily, plus searches for and displays invalid registry keys for the software in question. So I finally removed my 7.0.5 and some 156 registry keys and all is good You can find/download the above software at www.ursoftware.com Windows 7 - Office 2010 - Internet Explorer 9 All better than the versions preceding them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
