Unable to uninstall adobe photoshop edition 3

I am unable to uninstall adobe photoshop starter edition 3 – I tried to remove it via the control panel add/remove program as it doesn't have an uninstall program – halfway through the uninstall I get an error box which says "Internal Error 2753.ADB2.EXE2 – when I click OK I get another box that says "Fatal Error during Installation" – I tried to reinstall it but I get the same errors – I opened HJT clicked into the Uninstall Manager and hilited adobe and selected delete this entry – well I deleted it from the HJT uninstall Manager list but it is still in the Control Panel add/remove Program list – but the change/remove options are now gone – I think I have made it worse by going to HJT – Apart from this my computer is running great and no problems – I just want to get rid of adobe from the "Control Panel" Currently installed Programs – Any ideas Thanx 📎adobe_uninstall_errorbox.doc

Hi tsunami,

Always remember that "Google is your Friend" when dealing with this kind of problem.
But, as you've already found out, Adobe may not always be so friendly.

Since you've already "compromised" your installation of Photoshop, you'll probably have to take the "manual removal" route. It's tedious, but doable.

If photoshop remains in your add/remove listing, you may have to also remove its reference from your Startup files.

Best Regards

(EDIT) Sorry Dough, and welcome back, you beat me to it…

tsunami, please follow Dough's directions before reading my post. thanks.

It is really important that you back up your registry before editing it.
