If you have ever had problems trying to uninstall a program through the Add/Remove Programs dialog, typically this is because required uninstall files have gone missing. Typically it doesn’t do any harm to have “dead” installs listed in the Add/Remove Programs list, but it can be annoying.
To remedy this problem, try using the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. This program, among other things, removes files and registry entries which the problem program’s installer created. While it is not 100% guaranteed to work (as it depends on how “messy” the installation actually is), it is a good and easy starting point to get rid of the unwanted program.
