Replacement for Revo Uninstaller on 64-bit Windows?? From what I can find out, the traditional free version of Revo Uninstaller has limited functionality on 64-bit Windows.
So I am looking for a replacement. Revo Pro is supposedly 64-bit compatible, but it is $40.
I am aware of these 2 free alternatives, but I have not tried them:
Myuninstaller MyUninstaller: Alternative uninstaller to the standard Windows Add / Remove module
Uninstall manager Uninstall Manager
Any comments on these 2 applications or any other Revo replacements? | My System Specs |

Thanks Mike.
It was your comment in another thread that free Revo was incompatible with 64-bit that started me hunting.
Problem is, I have 32-bit now and so can't easily test the 64-bit compatible replacements. But I will likely be moving to 64-bit within weeks, thus my interest. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;

I have used Revo Uninstaller (version 1.91) on my Windows 7 x64bit system...
If it's any help, I have not encountered any problems. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Packard Bell OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz Motherboard Packard Bell IPISB-AG Memory 3.00 GB Graphics Card (1) Intel(R) HD Graphics (2) VNC Mirror Driver Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays AIO LCD Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Wireless Mouse Wireless Hard Drives WDC WD10EADX-22TDHB0 ATA Device

Irene:
Yes, it "works".
But do a Google search. By all accounts it does an incomplete job on 64-bit programs.
Whether it is outright damaging, I don't know. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;

I have used the Comodo program a few times on various machines, and have had no problems, it also seems to reliably remove all the relevant registry entries etc. I have not used it enough to recommend it outright.

By the way, I have also tried the other programs you mentioned in the original post. Didn't like either of them. There is no point in using a program that simply duplicates the built-in windows functionality;
QUOTE Important Notice
When you uninstall a software, MyUninstaller utility is not directly responsible to the uninstall process. MyUninstaller simply run the uninstall module provided by the software that you want to uninstall. So, if from some reason the uninstall process fails, you should contact the author of the software that you want to uninstall, not to the author of MyUninstaller.
UNQUOTE
Much the same applies to the other program you mention, it adds some ( in my opinion superfluous) functionality to the standard windows functionality.
The Comodo is the only other one I have found which works more or less like the REVO uninstaller, it removes the registry entries and associated files.
I can only tell you how reliable it is after using it for at least three months, and preferably longer. It's looking good up to now though.

Regards....Mike Connor Thanks for the comments. I have downloaded Comodo and will likely try it now on 32-bit.
I'm also always put off by and suspicious of English language technical documentation that was clearly not proofread by a native English speaker. If they are that indifferent/careless, what else is in store for a potential user? Do they just write this stuff in their native language and then toss it into Google's translator and expect accuracy? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Ignatz Special; 4 speed manual gearbox; factory air conditioning; one of one OS Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit CPU Intel Sandy Bridge i5-2500, not overclocked Motherboard Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3, full ATX Memory 4 GB Crucial DDR3-1333 Graphics Card none; graphics are integrated on CPU Sound Card onboard: Realtek ALC892; external: USB Behringer UF0-202 Monitor(s) Displays NEC 90GX2-BK 19" LCD Screen Resolution 800 x 640 Keyboard Leopold Tenkeyless with Cherry Blue switches, USB Mouse Logitech or Microsoft optical wired; either USB or PS 2 PSU Seasonic SS-560KM, modular Case Antec Solo II Cooling CPU: Scythe Big Shuriken; Case: Scythe Slipstream 800 & 500 Hard Drives System: Intel 320 Series SSD, 80 GB;

I have just emailed Revo Support and asked them to confirm whether the Free version completely removes 64-bit programs effectively.
I will post back when I receive their response. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Packard Bell OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30GHz Motherboard Packard Bell IPISB-AG Memory 3.00 GB Graphics Card (1) Intel(R) HD Graphics (2) VNC Mirror Driver Sound Card Realtek High Definition Audio Monitor(s) Displays AIO LCD Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Wireless Mouse Wireless Hard Drives WDC WD10EADX-22TDHB0 ATA Device
