Question

Uninstall CC products via command line (Windows 7) - Exit error 135

We set up a test machine, just to look at the uninstall options. We installed … I did try the uninstall option as to prepare uninstalling the upgraded adobe products in an ordered manner. And as I expected, I ran immediately in an error.

 

setup.exe --uninstall=1 --sapCode=PHSP --baseVersion=2015.5 --platform=win64 --deleteUserPreferences=false

Exit error 135

 

My first problem is, that I cannot find the sapCodes for all the CC programs. Second, I made a guess on what the baseVersion should be. Platform also is derived from a win32 reference, found on the Adobe help system.

 

Question: Where do I find the sapCodes and the baseVersion of my software? What could be the issue with that exit error code 135 (unknown (sic) error)?

 

When trying again and stripping base version, I got error code 103.

Was anyone able to figure the proper way to silently uninstall the CC products?

    None of this applies:

    The Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool allows you to more precisely remove installation records for Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications that may have become corrupted or may be causing problems with a new installation. It can be particularly helpful if you have installed prerelease software on your system, and now want to remove it.

    If you’re having trouble installing Creative Cloud apps, Creative Suite (CS3–CS6) apps, Photoshop Elements, or Adobe Premiere Elements, the Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) Cleaner Tool can help. Likewise, if you're unable to connect to Adobe servers, the Cleaner Tool can help by removing entries in your computer's host files that are blocking access to Adobe software and servers.

    We did set up a clean install, and only installed CC to test command line removal of old installs, because we want to get this as automated as possible and the deployment tool does not allow for removal of the upgrades software. The software has even not been started. When we have those problems on the test system, how can we expect to do a simple and clean uninstall on out production machines.

    So again the questions:

    Question: Where do I find the sapCodes and the baseVersion of my software. What could be the issue with that exit error code 135 (unknown (sic) error)?

    When trying again and stripping base version, I got error code 103.

    Hi EveryBody,

    I'm "Creative Cloud subscription team" client and I 've the same problem. I want to silently uninstall Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 version 16.1.2 because i want install Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.3. I use this command line into batch script:

    start /wait /D "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\HDCore\" Setup.exe --uninstall=1 --sapCode=PHSP --baseVersion=16.1.2 --platform=win32 --deleteUserPreferences=false

    And i 've an error:

    Exit Code: 135

    So, i try to uninstall Adobe After Effects CC 2014 (13.2.0) because i want install Adobe After Effects CC 2015.3 (13.8.1):

    start /wait /D "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\HDCore\" Setup.exe --uninstall=1 --sapCode=AEFT --baseVersion=13.2.0 --platform=win64 --deleteUserPreferences=false

    ...and I've the same problem !

    There is there an issue to this problem ?

    Many thanks
