Removed program still in add/remove programs list

by jws1960 Aug 23, 2007 1:29AM PDT

I have already tried the standard fix for this as suggested by Microsoft, but when I used the registry editor and checked HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall the program in question was not there. It is however, found under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software. Will editing the latter remove the program from the add/remove programs list? Until this is fixed I can not reinstall the program (game actually, lol)

Windows version:XP Media 2002.

Try windows installer cleanup utility

by eddie11013 Aug 23, 2007 5:03AM PDT

It can be found here, http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Windows-Installer-CleanUp-Utility.shtml
Download, install and run the program. Locate the one you want to uninstall, click on it and then click remove. That's it.
Its a free program.
Good luck,
Eddie
