When MSAS Beta1 started giving me 101 errors on the non-administrator
accounts I tried an uninstall / reinstall to correct the problem. Nothing
changed.
After installing Defender Beta2, I went to uninstall Beta1. In doing so,
several warnings were raised that some components could not be unregistered
(I'm pretty sure that was the message). By using the Microsoft Install
Cleanup utility, and reinstalling Beta1, I was able to obtain a clean
uninstall.
To check the completeness of the uninstall, I scanned the registry for the
"gcas" character string - and found a TON of entries still referencing the
now uninstalled Beta1 program's location.
How can I SAFELY remove all these dead registry entries that are bloating
the registry?
In advance, thanks!
