Uninstalling Photoshop Elements 2019 failing

[petemetcalfe]

Hi there, anyone have a fool proof way to uninstall Photoshop Elements 2019?

I'm packaging it for deployment through SCCM and the install appears to work fine using oem.exe -P PSE.  However, the uninstall string displayed in the registry "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\HDBox\Uninstaller.exe"--uninstall=1 --sapCode=PSE --productVersion=17.0 --productPlatform=win64 --productAdobeCode={PSE-17.0-64-ADBEADBEADBEADBEADBEADBE} --isNonCCProduct=true --productName="Adobe Photoshop Elements 2019" --mode=1  fails with set-up.exe displaying a blank window and that's it.

Same behaviour when uninstalling from Programs and Features.

Any thoughts please?

Cheers,

Rob.

See this similar thread. It relates to an older version but may help.

Photoshop Elements 15 Silent Uninstall

[KumarPrakash · Accepted solution]

Hi

Could you please use the below command:

Set-up.exe --silent=1 --uninstall=1 --sapCode=<product sapCode> -- productPlatform=<product platform> --codexVersion=<codex version> -- deleteUserPreferences=<true/false>

sapcode: PSE/PRE

codex version: 17.0(for 2019)

productPlatform: win64/mac

• Set-up.exe is present parallel to oem.exe.
• This command does not show Progress Percent of Uninstall and Exit Code is not returned.

Please let us know if this works.

Thanks

Prakash

That seems to work fine thanks. Such a shame the the source files need to be available to uninstall the product.

Cheers,

Rob.
