removing incorrect entry in "Add/Remove Programs"

[Jeff]

In my Control/Panel "Add and Remove Programs" I have 2 entries for 2
versions of the same program. If I "remove" one, it removes the program and
the other entry is no longer functional because I get an error message
saying "uninstall log folder not found".

I would like to remove one of the 2 entries and just keep one. But I do not
know how to do that. I have several registry editors (as well as TweakUI,
FreshUI, etc.) but need instructions as to where to go and what to do.

Thanks.

It may prove easiest to remove both versions and then reinstall the program.

The Registry table with Uninstallers can be found at
Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Uninstall

Programs should appear in the list alphabetically. Just be Careful.

Thanks. I discovered that one of my utilities (I think it was FreshUI) did
it for me. So I am good.

Thanks.

I was wrong. The utility that gave me a list to edit was X-Setup Pro, not
FreshUI.
