Add/remove programs

[Guest]

I've got Windows XP. Quicken software was installed with the computer. I
tried to use the Add/remove tool and after uninstall shield started, I got a
message that it couldn't find uninst.isu in the folder quickenw. That is
because Quicken was installed in folder quicken2002free. How do I uninstall
the software?

Really this program probably does not use up that much space. I would
probably just leave it on the hard drive. Otherwise you will probably have
to reinstall the program then try another uninstall

If the program was preinstalled it might be on whatever CD's you received
with the computer. You might post the exact error and what computer you
have. Each of them have different ways to install the various programs.
You also might post exactly what version of Quicken that is on the computer.

Likely - if add/remove programs does not work - you can just delete the
folder and go with it. If that is what you are saying you did, then you
only have the entry left in Add/Remove programs and any files that were not
natively in that folder ((left there by your incorrect method of getting rid
of it originally.)

Your best choice - reinstall it with whatever media came with your computer
then use add/remove programs to remove it properly.
Not an option.. Do a google search and find a way to remove it from the
Add/Remove Programs control panel - because in all practicality - it is
gone.

You might find some information in the Quicken folder but if not, then
I would alter the UninstallString in the Registry to reflect the real
location of uninst.isu (assuming it exists) and cross my fingers.
Have a look with Regedit and see what you think.
It will have an entry under this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
