I recently tried out several freeware AVI converter but did not find any very
good and so uninstalled them. After using the tool it informed me that not
all files could be removed by the wizard and should be manually removed. Now
however when i turn on the computer and log in an error message comes up
saying that the uninstal file cannot be located but it is not capable of
showing the full file path and so dont know which program to reinstall to
possibly fix this problem
 
Does the installation use InstallShield? If so, make sure you have a recent
installshield engine. I had similar problems. I could not completely
uninstall and when I updated InstallShield Engine, I was able to completely
remove programs. Older versions of InstallShield were not able to
completely remove installations for some reason.

If you want to update the installshield engine under Windows XP, perform the
following:

1. Next, browse to: http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108312

You will find out how to remove the old installshield engine and install the
latest one. I hope that this will fix your problems. It did mine.

best,

Thanks,

The engine wasnt the problem though.

The error message on start up looks similar to (but not exactly as i havent
taken not of it)

cannot locate DLL
C:\PROGR~\1UNINST~\1.dll

I'll take note of it next time i start up and that might be a big help hehe
