Re: add remove program missing /cant uninstall

Please see this support doc for uninstalling Quickbooks in Vista:
http://support.quickbooks.intuit.com...x?kbID=1004383

Which one of the Adobe programs do you have installed Reader or Writer? If
its the Reader, maybe you could try installing a later version of the
current installation.

You might also want to disable UAC before trying uninstall Adobe Acrobat.

If that does not work, take a look at the following:
