Remove Adobe Acrobat using Windows Installer Cleanup Utility

This entry was posted by on Tuesday, 4 August, 2009 at

I had Adobe Acrobat on my system and tried to upgrade. Adobe Installer complained some .msi file could not be found, so uninstalling or upgrading would not work. Nice work Adobe. For what do i need the installer when I got the new version at hand?

After some trying, swearing and googeling I came across the WINDOWS INSTALLER CLEANUP UTILITY. Yes, Microsoft has a tool for screwed up Installers. Better yet, it works fine. Nuked Acrobat from my system.

Will not touch it again, using Foxit Reader now. Displays PDFs, is fast, works.
