Solved: Uninstalling programs that are corrupt

OS XP Home. How can you uninstall programs that are corrupt? Which the uninstaller won't work. I had done a few system restores and now some programs that I had originally deleted came back with system restore and are now corrupt.

Have you tried using 'safe mode' ?

You mean trying to use the uninstaller? I'll try that.

Same thing. Error pops up : unins00.dat does not exist. Unable to uninstall.

Sometimes, it comes down to doing a manual uninstall - deleting the files and folders and registry entries to a program.

You just need to know where to look for them and how to do it.
