After installing Adobe's Creative Suite 3, I lost Control Panel and had to do
a system restore back to a point before the install. I'm now having
difficulty reinstalling CS3. Adobe tech support tells me I need to remove any
remaining files before trying the reinstall. My problem is that I've already
removed the program using the normal uninstall, run Adobe's uninstall scripts
which also uses the WIndows clean-up utiltiy, tried to remove straglers
byaltering permissions on file properties. I've been able to remove all but
the following files and folders:
Adobe\
Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\
Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\acrotray
Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\adistres.dll
Adobe\Acrobat Elements\
Adobe\Acrobat Elements\ContextMenu.dll
CommonFiles\Adobe\
CommonFiles\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\
CommonFiles\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroIEHelper.dll
CommonFiles\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\AcroPDF
CommonFiles\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX\pdfshell
I'm guessing these files/folders must be corrupt. The system tells me I
don't have permission to delete but I have full administrator access on some
of the files and on others I am unable to change the permissions. Does anyone
have any ideas on how I can delete these? I have a fairly new Sony laptop
with Vista Home Premium and don't really want to take my machine back to a
full recovery. Any advice? Is it worth the cost of calling Microsoft support?
Thanks,
Linda
