Orphan Program Cannot Be Uninstalled.

[Don R]

Quicken 2003 will not uninstall. From Control Panel / Add Remove Programs, every program but this one has a button to remove it. The button disappears when Quicken 2003 is selected. I suspect that the program was installed from a Windows User Account that no longer exists.

I've also tried using the install CD from both 2003 and 2005 versions of Quicken. Each time it fails to uninstall 2003. Short of reformatting the hard drive, is there a way to remove this Orphan program?

Thanks, Don Rist

Short of trying through "Search" with hidden folders shown and removing it
that way, you could try this program, it often finds things that may or may
not show correctly on Add/Remove. Download Add/Remove Master at
