Cannot Uninstall A Software Item .

I want to uninstal PlayMemeories Home in order to put in their newest version. It will not uninstall . Their help site suggests things I don't understand so wondering if there is a simple way around getting it uninstalled, .

How did you try to uninstall? By Control panel ?
go to where the program is installed (C:\Program Files (x86) or C:\Program Files) and look for a unixxxx.exe. that is the uninstall.
If it doesn't work reinstall the program and then uninstall by Control panel.

Have you tried using Revo Uninstaller? Its free and works much better than Windows built in uninstaller. You could also try looking for a solution on Sony's site. Here's one I found ..... have you tried it?

Solved: Re: Uninstall playmemories home - Sony

Thanks for your efforts to help. I have tried for many months to uninstall it . I don't know what they mean by

For example you can check in the processes tab for the "PMB Voulme Watcher" and terminate this tool which is installed by Picture Motion Browser / Play Memories.

OK , I got into task manager and carefully went down the long list and PMB Volume Watcher is not in there .
It is a shame Sony makes things so difficult . I loved that program but when they updated it I could no longer use it without uninstalling the old one . I have one of their camcorders and that software used to work so nicely with it .

I have now found a long list under uninstall memorieshome-Sony_files .
Don't know what to do in there because there are so many but right at the bottom is a large 2174 KB one called Sony coreskin7264debc.
Should I go ahead and right click and delete that one ?
I sure don't want to do something wrong and mess up my PC .

Thanks to all who offered help on this .
There is nothing on the Sony Support site that helps at all to solve the problem .

I will be sure to never buy another Sony product and put out the alert to anyone else contemplating purchasing anything with the Sony name on it . No company should put their customers through weeks of unsuccessfully uninstalling their program simply because they updated to a newer version .
