Anyone know how to uninstall a program that only partially installed
in the first place? Specifically, I'm talking about Adobe AIR. The installation was corrupted, and apparently, the driver that allows for an uninstall, DIDN'T install. I've been trying to get rid of it, but nothing happens. Anybody have any ideas on what I can do? I'm going to post this on Computer Help and Support too, but thought I'd start here.

1. Do another full install, so that you can uninstall?

2. Already tried that. The computer tells me the program is already
installed, and won't install it again.

I need to get rid of what's on my computer first. It's quite frustrating.

3. Did you try the Adobe knowledge base on their website?

5. Try another uninstaller, like...
Add-Remove Pro.

It's helped me get rid of some of those things.

Sometimes a registry cleaner can find the nasty little stubs left from incompletely uninstalled or partially installed programs.
