Photoshop: How to uninstall?

Hello folks,

I am trying to uninstall Adobe Photoshop CS on my Windows XP machine. I am using "Add or Remove Programs" in the Control Panel. But the following windows are popping up

The first one is displaying
"> SetupDLL.cpp (442)
PAPP:Adobe Photoshop CS and ImageReady CS PVENDOR:Adobe
(http://www.adobe.com)
PGUID:EFB21DE7-8C19-4A88-BB28-A8766E16493BC
$7.1.100.1248
@Windows XP Service Pack 2 (2600) BT_OTHER 0.64"

and the second one
"Setup has experienced an error.

Please do the following:
- Close any running programs
- Empty your temporary folder
- Check your Internet connection (Internet-bases Setups)

Then try to run Setup again.

Error code: -5001"

The suggestions in the second window are not helpful at all: There are no other programs running. I don't exactly know what is meant by temporary folder.
Which temporary folder is meant?
What has the Internet connection to do with my aim
to uninstall Adobe Photoshop?

I have searched for solutions on the internet. But
I have just found the following

with no appropriate answer.

Does anyone know how to resolve my problem in
unstalling Adobe Photoshop CS?

Thank you,
Oliver

What happens if you reinstall it? Doing so will either establish all the files necessary, update the registry and allow deinstall, or fail with a possibly more useful error message.

the failed un-install may create files in the temp folder do you have the PS CD??
if so use that instead
do a complete un-install
then re-install

You can download an uninstall program from Adobe's web page.
