• Why can't I remove installation file?

  It's weird and miss me probably just something obvious, but I downloaded "flashplayer20_ha_install" and completed the installation. Now I want to delete the file because it is no longer necessary. It seems impossible.

  I get an error message "File cannot be deleted because it is open in Adobe Download Manager". Fine. When I'm looking exactly where to find Adobe Download Manager, I like that it is no longer used for the installation of flash player. So, how can I get rid of the file?

  It's weird.  Under Windows, the Setup online file automatically deletes automatic when the installation is complete, without worrying whether it succeeded or not. In your case, it seems that something (e.g. some process) continues to use the finished installation program.  When you try to delete the file and get the error that it is in use, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Task Manager
     • You can right-click on the icon of the window at the bottom left to view a menu or type "Task Manager" in the search field
  2. Right click on the Task Manager and select "Run as Administrator"
  3. In the Find tab process "Adobe Download Manager.  If it is there, right click and select 'end of task.
  4. Go to the 'Users' tab and search for "Adobe Download Manager" process.  If it is there, right click and select 'end of task.
  5. Go to the 'Détails' tab and search for "flashplayer20_ha_install.exe. If it is there, right click and select 'end of task.

  Please post back or not one of the above option worked.  If it doesn't work (the process was not in one of these tabs) I'll need to climb the team that manages the line/Adobe Download Manager installer.

• Need to remove data files existing Installer before reconstruction Installer?

  I hope that quick question - when I build the installer of my software, it creates a folder called Volume containing setup.exe and various other support files, including a 'bin' folder that has several levels of folders located below.  If I change my software and then rebuild the installer, it puts the new files in the same place.  My concern is that there is somehow a version older installation files are not replaced that might somehow alter the new software if I don't get their first road (for example by emptying or deleting the folder of the Volume).

  On a more realistic note, even if the functionality is the same, if there are additional files from a previous version that became useless, I can decrease the size of my Installer if I remove them.  I know that not related in the folder of the Volume files are left there when I have reconstitute the installer, for LabVIEW is not delete all the files before starting a new construction.  I don't know if it is remove all the unused files/folders in the multiple levels of folders under the folder "bin".

  Does anyone know if my concerns have any basis in reality?  Should I always remove the existing Volume folder before building a new installer?

  Thank you

  Joe

  The Application Builder will place the Setup files in the specified directory.  It will replace the old files, if they exist.  Files that were already part of the Setup program, but no longer, will remain intact.  It is always recommended to delete the folder of the Volume before you build your final volume installation folder.

• How to: recover disk space by removing the updates of windows installation files

  Original title : Software updates to XP Pro do take the disk space that can be reclaimed by removing downloaded files?

  I want to recover disk space which can have useless files.  Once an update is installed, the downloaded file can be deleted and if so, where they are on my drive?

  Please note this is only for Windows XP and is not on Vista or Windows 7

  Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

  These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
  NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

  Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

• It is safe for me to remove the drivers?

  I got no answer to my previous question, so thought I would try an other way around...

  Original thread is here:

  Thanks - BB

  Yes you can "Uninstall" the drivers usb one at a time by a right click on it and select "Uninstall".

  Once this is done, right click on any other device and select "Check for changes on the hardware", windows will install fresh copies of the drivers, no need to download anything.

• All the pdf I downloaded on my desktop (Windows 7) suddenly "disappeared" and I can open and view, but cannot remove them or move them to another file.  When I try to delete, I get a messge saying my trial has expired and he wants me to have

  All of the pdf files I've downloaded on my desktop (Windows 7) suddenly "disappeared."  I can open and view them, but cannot remove them or move them to another file.  When I try to delete, I get a message saying my trial has expired and he wants me to buy which I can't do because I don't have a serial number to put in. What happened to the "free" Adobe Reader I thought I had?  How can I get these PDF files to become mobile?

  You (or someone) downloaded the free demo of Acrobat Pro, a little more than a month. If you use this software $20 / free months instead of drive for a month. If you don't want to buy it, now you must uninstall it and go back to the use of Acrobat Reader.

• How can I remove the Trojan installation files?

  Original title: Trojan horse in my Installer files

  AVG has moved my files from Windows Installer in a vault because of a Trojan horse.  Have I not need these files, and how to restore it without the Trojan horse goes with them?

  If files are missing or it cannot repair them after running SFC, in most cases there is no need to do a full recovery of Windows, like the other poster advised you to do.

  Since XP from, you have the option to do a repair Installation to solve problems, thus keeping all of your programs, settings, and data intact.

  Post back with your operating system if you have problems with the SFC.

  See you soon.

• CS3 Uninstaller did not remove all files in the Application

  A few months ago, I bought a new MacBook Pro. When I did, I used Apple migration assistant to move my programs from my old MacBook to my new MacBook. Adobe CS 3.3 applications have been migated. I recently bought the upgrade to 5.5 Web Premium CS. I wanted to uninstall CS 3.3 before installing CS 5.5 to save hard disk space. So, I ran the Adobe uninstaller program (Applications > utilities > uninstall Adobe programs). The Adobe uninstaller program found no any product remains on my MacBook, although they were installed and working. So, I reinstalled CS 3.3 and then tried the uninstall program Adobe again. This time, the uninstall program found all the products and said that it uninstalled all the. However, it has not removed the files of the application of my MacBook. I tried to launch that the Adobe CS cleaner and who also did not remove the files in the application.

  How can I go about deleting the files of the application?

  Is it safe to simply drag the folder for each application of CS in the trash at this point?

  How can I remove Version Cue CS3 to my system preferences?

  Thank you!

  You should find the uninstaller for Acrobat 9 Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro folder.  Once removed, then remove to other Adobe applications you have listed in the Applications folder.  In addition, you can also find files for Adobe applications listed in the following locations:

  / Library/Application Support/Adobe

  /Users//application support/Adobe

  / Applications/utilities/Adobe Installers.

  / Applications/utilities/Adobe utilities /.

  You may need to reinstall Flash player and Shockwave after this procedure, but it must remove the files used by CS3.  You can try installing CS5.5 right there.  I would still be careful if you encounter problems with the installation or that still a problem removing Acrobat 9 it will be still more efficient to take a step back and restore the Mac operating system and run the Migration Wizard again as previously advised.

• Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

  Remove temporary files from the local disk c/documents and settings/user/localsettings/temp name

  By definition, this folder should contain only the elements you don't need.  If I understand correctly, this temporary folder is a place where temporary files are stored during program facilities and the facilities.  However, I have seen references other sites to help saying some programs can store folders and files.

  I do my own temporary file elsewhere, name it accordingly and move all the files in the temp folder to the new folder. Use your computer normally for a while, and if nothing complains about missing files, you have a good indication that none of the moved files are important and should be safe to delete.
