I have a program on the add remove list that will not
remove. Can anyone give any guidance and how to get
around it?
 
Hi MarK,

Has the program actually been uninstalled and the entry just a remnant? Or
will the program not uninstall?

If it's just a remnant, you can delete the listing by removing the
appropriate key in the registry under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

If it will not uninstall, then often reinstalling the software will allow
you to rebuild the install log (which is what is usually missing when a
program attempts to uninstall).

Many thanks for that advice but it doesn t do it.

I have reinstalled and the program just won't uninstall
at all .. the program is called Virtual Back Up.

Anyone else have any suggestions.

Thanks
 
Hi,

Ok, so what happens when you try to uninstall? What if you run the
uninstaller directly from the program folder?
