Adobe 8.1.1 Installation Issue

If you ever have an issue with installing the Adobe 8.1.1 software in your machine, here is a solution you can try:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

Use the Windows Install Clean up to remove all previous existing Adobe version and try re-installing the 8.1.1 version.

Problems I faced -

• Internal Error+2753 AND Updater.api_NON_OPT message
• The installation that you are looking for exisits in a network location not accessible (this is if you have a office laptop and Adobe was installed from a network location)

I extended the idea to develop a front-end which will allow you to chose the builds to be deleted from a list apart from the build clean-up service running on the TFS.
