I mistakenly downloaded MS Winter Fun Pack 2004 for XP on my Vista computer,
I didn't see that it said for XP when I downloaded and installed it. Using
the uninstall in Control panel, I tried to uninstall. I got back an error
(1713) message that say's 'can't install'. Please help me get this program
uninstalled.

Thank you.

Hello Kay,

Try to remove it with Revo Uninstaller, then run CCleaner's.

<http://www.revouninstaller.com/>

Use the REVO uninstaller (fourth/last option).
Also, try in Tools -> Optimization -. Junk Files Cleaner – Scan -(give it
some time) - Delete

Also, Tools -> Tracks Cleaner, for
Browser Cleaner
Microsoft Office Cleaner
Windows Cleaner
Evidence Remover
Unrecoverable Remover


<http://www.ccleaner.com>
Note, uncheck Yahoos Toolbar


Download the basic version via
<http://www.ccleaner.com/download/builds.aspx>
The basic version does not contain the disgusted Toolbar

On top of what Ǝиçεl said, you can also try the MS Installer Cleanup
Utility:

Tom,
I downloaded the MS Installer Cleanup but was concerned when I read that it
require that I re-install some or all applications that used the Windows
Installer technology to be installed. If I understand this correctly, I
might lose programs if I use the Cleanup. Have you lost any when you used
the Cleanup?
Thanks,
Kay

No, I've never lost anything with it that I didn't want to lose. When you
run it, a list of programs comes up that you can use it on. Just pick the
Fun Pack from the list and go from there. If by chance it's not listed, we
can go on from there to something else. The programs are listed by category
(User, System), then alphabetically, so be sure to scroll through the whole
list.
