Since there are frequent posts in the forums asking about how to uninstall a program that is listed in the Add-Remove Programs list that won't go away, I thought I would share some information about a free download you can get from the following MS link that will do this for you easily so you don't have to edit the registry to get rid of the 'traces' left over from a bad uninstaller that some some program's author didn't code correctly.

Keep in mind/be aware, please, that the second link is a DIRECT DOWNLOAD and doesn't take you to a website where you can read about it. It is the program itself.

Windows Installer Cleanup Utility can be downloaded from the above link and it will remove installed programs that can't be uninstalled from the Add-Remove Programs List because you don't have the cd anymore or because the program itself can't locate its uninstall file info.

There is one version of this utility available for all individual windows versions from W95, W98, ME, NT 4.0, 2K, XP, and Server 2003. Direct download can be reached at this link:

I would advise using extreme caution with this utility. I tried it and it really messed up a few of my programs.

This is just from my personal experience with it.

I use Add Remove Plus, really seems to do the trick.

I haven't tryed this yet but will be giving it a shot soon.

Brute Force Uninstaller (BFU): BFU is a scripting program that can execute a series of preset commands like a Windows batch file, aimed at uninstalled programs that are hard to remove, uninstall improperly or simply unwanted. Scripts are plaintext and can be written with Notepad, and the command syntax is very transparent.
BFU is very complete and powerful, has a small memory footprint and has no uninstaller.
Documentation for the commands is available here (RTF).
