I want to remove all traces of a software package that was installed from a
disk, not via Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove programmes. Unfortunately
an uninstall option was not provided.

I've tried a system restore to a date and time prior to the install, but the
system says no changes have been made since then.

Is there an easy, idiot proof, way to do this?

Absolute Uninstaller
Simple and User friendly interface

or
Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Remove unwanted programs and traces easily

and/or
RegSeeker
http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm
RegSeeker will remove all associated detritus (registry keys,files and
folders) from any application. I found this application user friendly and
very effective but suggest *not* to use the 'Clean the Registry' option.
Click onto 'Find in registry' and in the 'Search for' box type *Name of
Application*; The pertinent registry keys can then be safely deleted (just
in case, ensure that the 'Backup before deletion' is checked). Repeat the
task by typing in the Search for' box *Name of Application*. You can then
go on search and remove associated files as well.
Then use NTREGOPT to compact the registry; Follow instructions.
