Dear Folks,
How do I uninstall Photoshop CS from Creative Suite? I’m running under Win2K, SP4.
The reason I need to uninstall the files is that something has gotten corrupted as a result of a recent system crash (see my earlier posting –Photoshop CS: "Invalid ICC profile" ???). I’ve tried the following to resurrect Photoshop and it doesn’t work for me:
1) removed all profiles from winnt\system32\spool\drivers\color, save sRGB Color Space Profile.icm
2) ran Adobe Gamma and created a new profile named sRGB2
3) launched Photoshop with ctrl-alt-shift pressed to delete old preferences.
This seems to be what everyone recommends, but I still have Photoshop aborting with the %$#^^ "Invalid Profile" message.
I’m hoping that deleting all the existing files and reinstalling them from the CD will fix this. I’ve reason to think so, based on other apps I’ve repaired since the crash, and I have reason to believe that I actually need to wipe the old files from the drive before replacing them for this to work. (Other apps were failing because of reported "invalid Windows images" for some files. Simply writing a new copy of the file over the old didn’t fix that; it was necessary to delete the old file first and then install a new copy.)
When I launch the Creative Suite Installer from the CD, it gives me the option of uninstalling the Photoshop component, but when I select that option, it indicates that the free space on the drive will be the same after uninstalling as it was before. Sure enough, when I run the ‘uninstall’ it doesn’t change a damn thing.
So, how *do* I wipe all the Photoshop files out so I can reinstall them (hoping that will do the trick)?
Thanks for your help!
