I’ll try and explain a little more, you may already know this but others may not. If I am completely off base here, please clarify! Thanks so much for your help!

The product was installed from a network URL, but it was the CD data. The XML file is in the same directory as this batch file. I get the error code 20: “Install source path does not exist” mentioned above when the attempt to remove ‘CS5 Design Standard (if installed from CD)’ command runs. Next thing is it turns out there’s another entry in the registry for what gets executed if you manually uninstalled it, something like this: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\PDApp.exe –appletID=”DWA_UI” –appletVersion=”1.0″ –mode=”Uninstall” –mediaSignature=” /qn Sounds simple enough right? Their new Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition generates an msi, I’ll just uninstall that. While investigating their CS5.5, a need to uninstall CS5 installations presented itself. If you can't locate the original files, you can always select the presets in the preset manager and click the "Save Set." button to make a backup before uninstalling.Ah Adobe, those merchants of all things difficult. With that in mind it's always a good idea to check that you can locate any of your original brush (.abr) brush tool (.tpl) and pattern (.pat) files before uninstalling if you plan on installing them again later. It's important to keep in mind that by following this method you are not deleting the brushes, tools or patterns from your system, you are simply uninstalling or "disconnecting" them from Photoshop. Select the patterns you wish to uninstall then click the "Delete" button. This shows all of the patterns you currently have installed. Go to the preset manager (edit > presets > preset manager) and choose "Patterns" from the dropdown menu.

Select the brush tool presets you wish to uninstall then click the "Delete" button. This shows all of the brush tool presets you currently have installed (as indicated by the brush icon next to the brush name). Go to the preset manager (edit > presets > preset manager) and choose "Tools" from the dropdown menu.

Uninstalling Brush Tool Presets (.tpl Files) Select the brushes you wish to uninstall then click the "Delete" button. This shows all of the brushes you currently have installed. Go to the preset manager (edit > presets > preset manager) and choose "Brushes" from the dropdown menu. To keep Photoshop running smoothly, it’s a good idea to manage your brushes regularly and uninstall any brushes and patterns you don't use on a daily basis.
