Acrobat 6.0 Uninstaller

[TimR_Kirby@adobeforums.com]

I've been going insane trying to fix up a misbehaving ibook that was running 10.2.8
but wouldn't boot properly. I went through the whole gamut of an archive install
thining the 6.0.1 update problem I was having was a symptom of the machine. Ha.
(It had installed on my TiBook without incident, I haven't been reading horror stories).

My last hope was Nathan's magic piece of perl. It worked like a charm. Installed from
CD, dropped 6.0.1 then 6.0.2 without incident (I had the disk images for the updates
already on the desktop... after running the updates too many times...)

Whatever the magic is that you remove - and I thought I'd done everything you listed -
it works.

ObHumor. Watch the console while installing the updates. Watch it print out

No app value.
No app value.
....

How... observant of them.

Hi, just a bit of praise here... This uninstaller is the best thing since sliced bread... I've had so much trouble installing Acrobat 6.x with Tiger and 10.3.9 that it's made my life a lot easier. I highly recommend it for systems like mine: Powerbook 15", 1.25 Ghz and Tiger.

Cheers and thanks for this piece of code, JP

ps. Why doesn't Adobe, if they can't provide us with updates that work, at least give us an uninstaller?
