add/remove programmes bug

[Guest]

recently i noticed an old programme that was still showing up on the
add/remove programmes list.

when i clicked on the remove it told that this action was only available for
installed programmes etc. which must mean that it is already uninstalled.

i suspect that all i need is to delete the registry entry from the file that
compiles the list of installed programmes, although i dont know where to find
it?

thanks

similar VS program on all OS's
