Duplication in Installation History

I Have Win98 SE, OE6 and IE6.

The background to my request is that Aw-aware SE Personal will not open
due to an 'Illegal Operation'. Three forums have tried to solve this,
but without success and I am resigned to the fact that it will not be
solved being that so much time and effort has been spent on it.

At about the time this happened I downloaded JViewer Profile (KB903235)
from Microsoft Windows Update and although I have uninstalled this, just
as a test, from Add/Remove Programs I have three copies of the program
still showing in Installation History, namely 18th, 20th and 20th July
2005.

Now my question: How can I remove these copies from Installation
History? so that I can be sure that that is not the problem: also to
make it tidy.

Thanks,
Emrys Davies.
 
You'll have to edit the registry to clean up those entries in Add/Remove in
Control Panel.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

See this site for more info:

Or, if you are not comfortable editing the registry and backing it up in
case of problems, you can use TweakUI for Win98 to edit this for you:

Don't think that you understood my question.

I uninstalled JViewer Profile (KB903235) temporarily from Add/Remove
programs because I thought it was interfering with an application.

Now I have three copies (why, I don't know) of JViewer Profile
(KB903235) showing in Windows Update , Installation History. I would
like to remove all of them because when I reinstall JViewer Profile
(KB903235) I will, if it is consistent, have four copies of it showing
in Installation History.

I found nothing at this location
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
applicable to my problem.

Thanks,
Emrys Davies.
