Removing an entry from the Add/Remove programs list.

[Andrew Gericke]

Can anyone help me out with the proceedure to remove an application from the
Add/Remove programs list manually. I have a demo copy of an accounting
application, the source files which I downloaded I deleted a long time ago -
now when I try an uninstall it from Add/Remove... it is looking for the msi
file from which it was installed. I have deleted all reference to the
application in the registry, I have deleted the folder with it's files in,
but now need to remove it from the "Add/Remove programs" list.


Thanks

Andrew

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall

Each of the subkeys under this key represents an installed program, that may
or may not show up in Add/Remove. Locate the correct subkey, right click it
and select Export. This creates a backup, just in case you make a mistake.
Then right click it again and select Delete.

I don't know what 'afair' is, but 'tweaui' can be obtained at this MicroSoft
page (about fourth item down, on right).

You need to install the Windows 95 Tweakui, it's the only version that =
edits Add/Remove.
