No "Uninstall" option

I right-click on an item in the list for Programs & Features in Control
Panel but no context menu is displayed so that I can not uninstall the
item(an application program). A context menu for Uninstall, Change and
Repair is supposed to be displayed. Could anyone help?

Uninstall is located above the program list. :)

There are programs for which Uninstall show up when the progrma items
are high-lighted but there are many which do not. For example, MS Office
2007 , Roxio EMC 9, Norton Anivirus 2007, etc. What could be wrong about
these? They are working fine(Reason I want to uninstall is not because
they are not working).
Further suggestion is appreciated.

I had this same problem with the uninstall button not showing up after a
microsoft update. Its a bug and im not sure there fixing it. Basically to
get ur uninstall button back you have to reinstall the application then it
returns. Sense I have reinstalled all the applications all the uninstall
buttons are there now.


This is by far the dumbest bug I ever saw

It is not a bug, it just did not load properly in the first place to put an
un-install file that the system could link to.

Thanks for your response. So when I need to uninstall a program I just
have to reinstall first. It is realy dumb bug.

It appears bug though another poster indicates otherwise, because there
are too many programs showing the symptoms: Exameples include MS Office
2007, Norton Antivirus 2007, Roxio EMC 9, etc.
