Ilme missing the acroread.msi file
The Acroread.msi file is not on my computer. I don't know where to find it elsewhere.
I can not reinstall adobe reader directly (without deleting the old one, even if it is incomplete) because the installation block current, of the view that this program is already on my computer, even if it does not!
I've been on labs.adobe.com and tried the adobe acrocleaner cleaning program, this does not work either.

Then you can download the full Setup offline reader for the version you want from

How can I remove Adobe Reader DC for my MAC?
Can you please tell me how to remove Adobe Reader DC for my MAC? I understand that Adobe has a special bond with tools to do.
All that I want is the old program shaped adobe reader to use. Can't stand DC!
Thank you for your help
Hi Rhonda,
There is no uninstall for Mac Reader program. You can directly delete the application from the Applications folder, which is just trash/Applications/Adobe Reader.app. Also, this can cause a break in the features of Safari to read PDF files using Adobe Reader plugin. To resolve this problem, go into/Library/Internet Plug - Ins / and remove AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
Kind regards

Cannot update or uninstall Adobe Reader 9 on Windows 7
I get a message to update Adobe Reader, but when I try I get a message:
«Update to uninstall adobe could not open not hkey-local-machinesoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrent\\\ version\run\optionalcomponants\imail»
I also tried to uninstall through Control Panel. Watch it uninstall with a progress bar, then the same error message at the top, and the progress bar goes in the opposite direction until eventually there is no uninstalling Adobe Reader.
Is there another way to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Reader? Are there instructions available somewhere to uninstall Adobe Reader manually include the registry keys that you want to uninstall Adobe Reader 9? I've seen instructions step by step for older versions, but I don't know if those would be the same for later versions such as Adobe Reader 9.
You can try the following.
Remove all traces of drive (and not only the program) of your system using the Windows Installer Cleanup utility. It is no longer supported by Microsoft because it can produce problems with Win 7, but you can always download it from places like
http://MajorGeeks.com/download.php?Det=4459
Then download the installer of the reader of
http://get.Adobe.com/reader/Enterprise/
and perform a clean installation.
