Oi vey... this is probably an issue with the 8.1.2 patch Adobe pushed out - it doesn't play well with certain install types. There's two ways you can do it, one is to uninstall using the Microsoft Windows Installer Clean-up Tool (Google it), and the other is to use a script I wrote to deal with the issue - if it's what I think it is. The windows installer cleanup tool works every time - my script is more designed for network installs that you need to purge: <http://www.michichael.com/misc/AdobeSU1Fixer.vbs> Enjoy!
