Uninstalling Bonjour service from Photoshop CS3?

Tried twice. Moving up, taking off gloves.

that's not good... try again? i'll try it when i get home tonight...

I just tried installing / uninstalling Bonjour and restarting my system. mDNSResponder has not been killed. On the contrary, its mem usage has bloated to 3.5 megs instead of the 450kb it was using before...

>solution I used was simply to download bonjour for windows from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bonjourforwindows.html install it, then immediately use the uninstaller it handilly puts in 'add/remove programs'. this works cleanly, and on vista too.

Edit:

Replace "Bonjour Service" with that cryptic name given to the service by Adobe.

One word to Adobe: Si ne tacuisses!

Hi,

this is what I compiled for myself; it worked and left me with a working Internet connection:

1) sc stop "Bonjour Service"
sc delete "Bonjour Service"
2) regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\bonjour\explorerplugin.dll"
regsvr32 /u "c:\program files\bonjour\mdnsnsp.dll"
3) ren "c:\program files\bonjour" xxx (is locked)
4) del %systemroot%\system32\dns-sd.exe
del %systemroot%\system32\dnssd.dll
5) Under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2\Parameters\NameSpace_Catalog5\Catalog_Entries delete the key pointing to mdnsnsp.dll (e.g. 000000000007). Set HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2\Parameters\NameSpace_Catalog5\Num_Catalog_Entries to the new last catalog entry key number (e.g. 6).
6) Search the Registry for explorerplugin.dll, mdnsnsp.dll, mdnsresponder.exe, and program files\bonjour; delete all references.
7) Reboot
8) Delete "c:\program files\xxx".

Hope it helps

you could go into services (start> settings> control panel> administrative tools> services) and set the service to "Disabled" (right click it and select properties, you'll see a dropdown).

Be careful though as it may be used by other programs. Most notably that i can think of is iTunes.
