In the Add/Remove Programs list I have numerous items that
have no size associated with them. I believe they are
related to visio and I can't get rid of them. If I select
remove it opens a dialog box saying it's source is not
available either CD or network location, please insert
disk, if I select cancel it removes it from the list but
as soon as I reopen Add/Remove Programs it is back on the
list. I have tried the knowledge base article 247501 but
these entries do not show up in the registry it seems to
be looking for *.msi where the * stands for the name of
the program I'm trying to remove. any ideas out there as
there over a hundred of these in the list.
some filename examples are
"block diagrams"
"block diagrams Help"
"block diagrams samples"
"custom Patterns"
"Custom Patterns Help"
etc.

Thanks
Ian

Thanks for the reply. but, I have tried removing them from
registry but they are not listed there. KB article 247501.
There are like I say about a hundred or so and they are
cluttering up the list making removing programs tougher
thatn it has to be. If possible I would like to remove
them. any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Ian
