Google for: Add or Remove Programs doesn't populate

Good luck

I am not sure why this feature is not working nor do I know a fix other than
for W98 which would undoubtedly not work in XP. You could manually enter
the programs in this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

but this is more trouble than it is worth. Add-Remove is merely a directory
to the folder that contains the uninstall file for a given program. You
could just as easily go to that program's installation folder and look for
the uninstaller file.
