Cannot remove entry from Add/Remove Programse

R

Ron Rosenfeld

I have uninstalled a program named VersaJette UltraSaver.

Its name persists in the Add/Remove Programs tool (with no uninstall or remove
option.

I am trying to get rid of it from that tool.

According to several MSKB articles, the Names of listings in this tool are
located at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall under
the DisplayName key.

However, this program name does not appear there. I have checked both manually
and with two different search tools.

Is there any other place where this name could be coming from?

There are a bunch of other registry entries with this name, but none in the
particular section of the registry referenced in the MSKB articles.

The manufacturer has been useless in this regard.

I suppose one option would be to back up the registry, and then remove every
single entry that mentions this program -- but I'd like to solve the problem
with a finer scalpel.

Woody, in another thread, reminded me of a program I actually had on my
computer:

Download the "Windows Install Cleanup Tool" at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 and remove with it.....

And it worked for this problem.
