![]() ![]() I am not an Adobe pro by any means nor am I an IT expert. Read all warnings, agreements, suggestions etc. What I did for uninstalling CS3 and installing CS4 Master under Vista Ultimate. I suppose if I ran a third cruft cleaner, maybe it would find even more, but of course there’s a point where it becomes ridiculous, so I decided to declare victory and be done. They’re both excellent apps that do a great job (especially for free), but neither one of them seems to nail 100% of the cruft. It doesn’t matter which one you run first. If I run one then the other, I always find more stuff. Why not just use one? I’ve tested this a few times. In theory, I could have re-installed then, but I just wanted to get as close as possible to a clean slate, so I decided to just have at it with the cruft cleaners. Everything was fine after running the Adobe Cleaner. Now if you mean beyond that whether you need to run both Eusing and CCleaner, the answer is that you don’t need to run either one, in theory. It’s an application and, thankfully, CCleaner is much too cautious to go blowing away your valid (or semi-valid) apps. You literally cannot uninstall it without this tool, so it’s not cruft that you can clean up with a registry tool. If you just ran CCleaner before that, it would still see CS3 as a valid application (just like you Add/Remove Programs interface and your CS3 Installer/Repair/Uninstaller wizard does). You definitely need to run the Adobe cleaner/Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. CS3 is far too devious for that (do I need to reiterate that I *like* CS3 except for this issue? I’m not trying to rant about it). ![]() Jakob… if only! In fact, though, no you can’t. A pretty handy little tool and also free. Make sure to run it twice and to check that you have the latest version.įinally, believe or not, you might still have some stuff left over and CCleaner is another registry cleanup and repair tool (choose “Issues”) and also does disk cleanup and handles uninstall functios using other option. In this case, it finds tons of Adob-related keys left over. I’m not sure it’s ever truly fixed anything either, but it does delete tons of registry keys with no seeming ill effects. I’ve run it many times without it every causing any problems. If you want to try to get rid of as much Registry detritus as possible, download the Eusing Free Registry Cleaner.
