I have earlier installed a program called Power Cinema 2.5 by mfr Cyberlink.
at that time a Windows Vista combability support function helped with the
installation. (At first vista refused to install (An error tells that the
program is only for Windows 98, 2000 or higher) and then this Vista
compability function popped up and asked if I wanted support with the
installation. I have now purchased Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 and during
that installation I was asked if I wanted to remove the Power Cinema 2.5,
(because of a conflict with Roxio Cine 3.9) which I confirmed, but the
program Power Cinema cannot be removed. An error tells that the program is
only for Windows 98, 2000 or higher = the same message I got at the
installation time, but at this time there is no compability support.
Any ideas how to remove the program?
 
Find the installation directory of PC 2.5 and look for a uninstall
file..........or Control Panel/programs&features

Seems to be something they forgot when they designed compatibility mode.
One thing that worked with one of my programs was if your program has an
uninstall program (usually in the same program folder), right click on that
and change it to run in the same compatibility mode that the install was run
in and as administrator. Then run it. If not available right click on the
..exe and unselect any compatibility mode and select run as administrator.
Then go to control panel\uninstall programs and run the uninstall from
there. Good luck.
