How to deinstall Adobe Drive - This is very nasty

[_robert_h_]

Hello all,

during the installation of the TCS2, an application called Adobe Drive has been installed as well. This was not announced, there was no way to avoid the installation and now it cannot be selected in the system settings for deinstallation.

Can you give ma a short hint on how to eliminate this program?

As you may have read between the lines, I am not amused of Adobe pushing an unwanted application on my system that tries to connect to the internet all the time..

This might be part of the Version Cue software that comes with certain
Adobe Suites. If you uninstall then the Adobe Drive should disappear.

This command did the job now (start->run) which I found by searching Adobe Drive in the registry:

regsvr32 /u "%CommonProgramFiles%\Adobe\Adobe Drive Cs4\ADFSMenu.dll"

The companies must think their customers are just loving the extra work to remove unwanted software that is pushed on their systems.

I bought Photoshop CS4 Extended directly from Adobe to avoid any problems.  Having fought with Adobe Drive before, I was ready and waiting during installation.  But no, you CANNOT de-select Drive during the "Custom install" process - the checkbox is checked and greyed out.

I too dislike software that installs without my permission and connects to who-knows-what behind my back - sounds just like Malware.  I'm seething at Adobe over this but I don't want to see the words fighting to escape my fingertips.  Next lay-off Adobe, move that decision-maker to the front of the line.  For now, you should release an uninstaller - and apologize to your customers.

Run this from the command prompt to uninstall Adobe Drive:

msiexec /x {16E16F01-2E2D-4248-A42F-76261C147B6C} /qb ADOBE_SETUP=1

Thanks for the response, Mark; I'd forgotten.

Unfortunately, the end result is a dialog box named "Adobe Drive CS4" displaying the message "Internal Error 2739."  It's a virus, I'm sure.
