oh crap sorry about that.
what about this one
|MG| Windows Installer CleanUp Utility 7.2 Download

it gave me a odd error like something is wrong with it but it ran as administrator and it installed correctly for me. so I was your guinea pig lol.

Many thanks.

However, when I run the program it doesn't find the "ghost" entries.

you could try to re install them and then use that clean up utility.

Hi,

I recently installed and uninstalled a program. However, the entry for the program still remains in the Installed Programs list in the Control Panel. I have examined the Registry keys under uninstall and I cannot find this program listed there to be manually deleted. How do I remove this entry? Any advice is appreciated.

Go to C:/

Go to Program files it should be listed there just delete it :)

Your welcome

Ps. i know you cant find it but it can be listed in a different "program files" depending on what os your on and if its 32 or 64 bit.

Or, go to the list of programs with the shortcuts, right click, properties and see where its pointed too, delete the directory?

Hello 7farmer,

I'm not sure what method you used to try and remove the program's uninstall entry, but maybe this may be able to help you to do so.

Hope this helps,
