Can't Uninstall ColdFusion

[wcx08]

Hello.

I'm currently running ColdFusion 9.0 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine.  I need to uninstall ColdFusion altogether so that I may reinstall it.  My ColdFusion came with an 'uninstall' directory, which contains the file "Uninstall Adobe ColdFusion 9.exe".  However, when I try to run this program, I get a JVM error.  I've tried running this program as adminstrator, as well as updating my JVM to the newest version (in the case that it was a version mismatch).  This hasn't solved anything.

I then turned to the "Programs and Features" section of the control panel, where it shows an "Adobe ColdFusion 9" instance.  But, when I try to uninstall here, I get the message "You do not have sufficient access to uninstall Adobe ColdFusion9.  Please contact your system administrator."  I am logged in as the administrator, and am able to uninstall other programs.

Any ideas or information would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

I know this is an old error, but...we just had this happen with a Win 7 machine running ColdFusion 10. So...

Since the 'java -version' command was unrecognized from the command line, I installed the newest java jre. I added the path to the install directory to the 'JAVA_HOME' environment variable and added it to the path (appending ';%JAVA_HOME%\bin').

Now, the uninstaller works just fine. Just couldn't find the correct java (jvm) to run in order to allow the uninstaller.

How the installer worked, but the uninstaller didn't...we'll never know.
