Question

Can't uninstall adobe acrobat 5.0 it says the file is corrupted

Hello!

I installed an old game on my computer and with that you install adobe acrobat 5.0 along with it. Since the game didn't run well on my computer I decided to uninstall it, I tried uninstalling adobe acrobat as well but when I try to I get error that says that the uninstall file is corrupted so it won't be uninstalled. I know it is an old version of acrobat, can I just delete the file where it is located?

Thank you in advance

Hi northernlightifly

As said by "try67", if you only copied the installed and didn't run it then you can simply delete it. But, if you see the actual application there then you may use cleaner tool to remove its files: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

Note: Acrobat version 5 is discontinued product. Neither its installer is available nor its activation server.

Thanks,

Akanchha

If you only copied the installer and didn't actually run it then you can simply delete it, yes.

Anyway, Acrobat (or Reader) 5 is an extremely old version and should not be installed on any current operating system.

Is this Acrobat Reader? (Acrobat is a more complex app, so the difference is important)
