Hi,
I recently reinstalled windows on my PC as I was having issues but had installed adobe cs5.5 production premium on a separate hard drive. Now when I open any of those applications, it says please reinstall or uninstall, Error 16.

Then it closes. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!! (I would have called adobe support but I called after operating hours and will not be able to call till monday, unfortunately i need the suite before Monday (Australian time)

Please help!!

Thanks
Dan
