Ever tried to uninstall a misbehaving program and failed?
Thought about buying such a tool?

Here is a free Microsoft tool not many know about that can

help you and you can try it before buying such a tool:

It’s called “Windows Installer Clean Up Utility”

Here is How to use it Information:
Information about Solution for Computer Fix for programs that won’t uninstall

Here is where you can Download the tool:
Computer Fix Tool for programs that won’t uninstall

I have used this tool several times and had no issues.

But READ CAREFULLY THE warning notes in the information page before you use it.

It says there you may need to re-install programs associated to the one’s you are trying to uninstall.Microsoft say “We recommend that you do not use this utility with 2007 Office system products”.

My recommendation is to use this tool for non-Microsoft products as well as for programs that are not
bundled with other programs and only when the regular Microsoft “Remove Programs” option does not work for you.

Also, since you get into situations where the regular Windows “Remove Program” fails,
your system is probably a bit messed already, then you better have a backup image of your system
done or at least XP Recovery Checkpoint done, BEFORE you try to Uninstall anything.

If all this sounds worrying, note that tools for uninstall that you pay for, may have issues as well with a PC that is messed. So doing a backup or recovery checkpoint is a good practice anyway.

More on this in future threads.

Yours,

Jack.
