not able to uninstall adobe Adobe Illustrator CS3

I need to uninstall Adobe Illustrator CS3 silently. As per Adobe process, I need to create  xml file for uninstallation and give the path.

 

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\aef45239e3987fdf2a5e406d559eb22\Setup.exe" --mode=Silent --deploymentFile=path to remove.xml file

 

I recorded and created the xml file. When I pass the parametes through command line, it throws Exit code of 7. I have copied locally and it does not help. I looked at .gz file which generated and it says it is not able to find remove.xml in %temp%.

 

Even though the file is present, it shows error.

 

Does anyone know how to resolve this

From this, "I looked at .gz file which generated and it says it is not able to find remove.xml in %temp%." it looks like a problem with this xml file. Try to enclose it with quotes or put somewhere like C:\Temp and see.

    • What happens if you use the setup.exe from the source instead of the one inside that Common folder? remove.xml and install.xml were created at the same time? - dj_xest 10 years ago
      • it does not make much difference which ever exe I use use. yes both were created at same time when i recorded it - shekara 10 years ago

Try to close Internet Explorer or MS Office or append this to your command line: 

--skipProcessCheck=1

    • I have just tried those commands with an actual installation of that Illustrator CS3 and I could not replicate your Error code 7. I would say you to try in another machine. - dj_xest 10 years ago
