Deleted Software Still Listed

[Jon21]

I have removed Net Framework 1.0. However, it still shows up in "Add/Remove
Software" on the control panel. If I click it and select remove, it comes
back with an error message that it doesn't exist. How to I get it off the
Add/Remove software list?

Try this.

Windows Installer CleanUp Utility:

After running the CleanUp utility, go back into Add/Remove
If the application is still in the list, select it and see if you now
have an option to delete the entry.

Did you uninstall or delete .NET Framework 1.0? Why did you do so?

If Windows Installer Cleanup Utility doesn't resolve this, try this utility:

How would WHY matter?

Good question, LOL.

To the OP: you can edit it out in the registry (if you're comfortable doing
that), or find some utility programs that have the capability of removing
stray entries in the Add/Remove list.

 

[Perky]

try Add/remove Pro. It is free and can be downloaded from www.superwin.com

He's looking for a way to pitch his registry cleaner.

Because I am interested in why WHY would matter.

Then you can begin a new thread to ask your question and avoid confusing the
OP.
