remove unremoveable broken liks in "add remove programs"

[Guest Kue2]

About a year ago

In Xp 64 I had 6 Nero entries that I could not remove from Add Remove

Programs. I posted it in the newsgroup,but no solution was ever found.

Today I found the solution,here is the link.They were msi installers &

nothing else would remove them including editing the registry.The Windows

Installer CleanUp Utility did the job.{;-)))).Prior to today I had tried

many many add & remove programs .

Nice post, Hugh!

Add/Remove entries that have been left behind can also be manually removed

by carefully editing the registry.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

contain all the entries for the uninstall scripts for x64 and x86 programs

respectively.

Simply delete the entry that is bothering you (do it at your own risk) and

it will never show up again in Remove Programs.
