error 2330. 1392 when attempting to uninstall adobe reader 8.1.2

I have attempted to uninstall Adobe Reader 8.1.2 and receive the following message:
Internal Error 2330. 1392, C:\Program files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AIR .
I have tried using Smarty uninstaller. When I refresh the list of programs there, Adobe Reader 8.1.2 is not listed.
I have tried to reinstall Reader 8.1.2 and Windows informs me that the program is already present on my system.(Odd, since I appear to have uninstalled it, according to Control Panel Programs.)
I am at a loss now. Can anyone help?

Try this way:
Install the Microsoft cleanup utility Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Then deinstall Acrobat reader, you should be able to reinstall it afterwards.

This is my 3rd attempt to post to this Internal Error 2330 Thread...

Well that seems to have worked...does anyone have a solution to the problem with uninstalloing Adobe Reader 8.1.2? I've tried to download the newest Version 9 and it tries to uninstall 8.1.2 and gets the same message and cannot continue installation. At this point I cannot access any PDF files...a disaster!!!

I had this error and also had error when trying to run Acrobat Reader 8.1.2. stating AcroRd32.exe is corrupt. I renamed the users\Appdata\roaming\adobe folder to adobe_old and then I uninstalled Adobe Reader ok.
