I get error message 1714 and then I'm told this patch is not found.something work but the video I purchsed came with the required 7.0 to operate some features.

Hi bdt, and welcome to the forum.

CCleaner is Freeware, if you paid for it please contact a Moderator by private message.
I download CCleaner from here.



CCleaners Uninstall tool loads fast and runs the uninstaller that comes with the program.
If Adobes uninstaller is broken, you can try the Freeware Revo Uninstaller here.

Please read CCleaners guide here.

Let us know if you need more help.

Adobe reader has pages of people in google asking for help with uninstalling it, it is not really any program's fault such as CCleaner that it cannot be installed. It is Adobe at fault here.

Try Windows Installer clean up, read instructions. Helps a lot of people with this problem.

I would suggest perhaps using Foxit reader when you finally manage to get Adobe uninstalled

I had no idea that Adobe had such problems uninstalling.

After reading hazelnuts post I did a search on error message 1714 Adobe.

I was surprised of how many results there were.

I'm going to switch to Foxit Reader, thats if I can get Adobe uninstalled.

I wouldn't be too surprised if some of those uninstall issues are the direct result of improper registry cleaning with aggressive registry cleaners.

If you have uninstall issues and if you still have the Adobe setup available a repair or over-install would fix the uninstaller - old versions can be downloaded at:

That's another reason people should really track their installations with either Total Uninstall 2.35 (Last Freeware Version) or ZSoft Uninstaller.
