Adobe Illustrator uninstall problem
I have a problem with uninstalling Adobe Illustrator if I have applied one or more transform files. It wont uninstall from neither Add/Remove Programs of through Group Policy.
I just get an error saying that Removal failed.
I ran "msiexec /x <package> TRANSFORMS=<transformfile.mst> /l*vx" and this is the end of the output:
Property(S): ROOTDRIVE = C:\
Property(S): WinSxS = C:\WINDOWS\
Property(S): WWWROOT = C:\
Property(S): ProfilesFolder = C:\WINDOWS\
Property(S): GAC = C:\

Property(S): OutOfNoRbDiskSpace = 0
Property(S): PrimaryVolumeSpaceAvailable = 0
Property(S): PrimaryVolumeSpaceRequired = 0
Property(S): PrimaryVolumeSpaceRemaining = 0

Any suggestions?

Hi,
did you try the sequence from the HKLM/Software/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstal/<package name>
in our Installation the key for adobe illustrator cs2 sounds like msiexec /i {b2f5d08c-bla-bla}
using msiexec /x {that-string} and Illustrator was gone with no errors.
regards
Martin

I have tried all the steps from Adobe support (http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/331841.html).
I have tried to install with different types of transform files, but all with the same result. If I install without and transformfile and enter the serial manually it works fine, but I cant manually install the application on a few hundered computers.

I'm not sure I'm following what is going on here. Are you trying to uninstall it or install it? You said uninstall in the first message but install in the second one.
If you're trying to install it, you shouldn't be using an MST to put in the serial number. According to the document you linked, you're supposed to make all of your changes via the setup.exe not the msi directly.
That being said, I changed the Abcpy.ini with my company name and serial number, called the MSI with a transform and haven't had any issues.

Finally I found out what was wrong. If I created an mst with Wise - it installed, but woudnt uninstall. I created the mst with orca and edited it with Wise and it worked perfectly. I dont know what Wise did wrong, but it didnt create the mst correctly. Though,- orca did:)
