Manually remove Adobe Reader (8.x on Windows)

Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

Scroll down and download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility Package.

 

In XP go to Start, then Search and look for MSICuu2.exe. When the icon

shows up, run the program. After its done, you will get a list of files.

Click on Adobe and it will remove it.

Try uninstalling the Adobe Reader Update first, any security updates for

Adobe Reader, and then uninstall Adobe Reader.

Both the Adobe Reader Update and any previous/subsequent updates should

show the dates when they were installed. Uninstall using the latest date

first.
