Default "Add and Remove Program"

Hi All,
How do I remove a program in the ":Add and Remove Program" while it
states that " Setup.exe has encounter a problem and need to close. We
are sorry for the inconvenience."
I could further do nothing to remove this program.
OS Win XP Pro SP2
TIA
jakis

Either re-install the program then try uninstalling,or,try to remove it
in Safe mode.

U can delete it from registry directly.

Open registry editor. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MAchine(Current_USER)\Software\Microsof t\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

u can find the unwanted application here.

Thank you all very much for your help.
I finally got rid of it by going into the registry thing.
Thanks again

FYI: Removing that entry does NOT uninstall the program. You still need to
uninstall the program using the uninstaller provided.
