I am trying to uninstall a game and I got an error message
saying,
C:\Windows\ISUninst.exe is not a valid win 32 application
I tried going into safe mode to erase it and it didn't work either!
can anyone help me please?
 
How did you try to uninstall it? Deleting through control panel Add Remove
programs, Games remove option or did you try to delete the folder in
Explorer?

Here is some information on how to remove the info in add remove window:

Programs that are compatible with Windows may have an uninstallation program
or feature. The Add/Remove programs tool lists all of the Windows-compatible
programs that have an uninstall program or feature. You may need to manually
remove the program from the Add/Remove Programs list if you uninstall a
program and the registry key that is used to display the program name is not
removed correctly:
Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
Locate and click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

After you click the Uninstall registry key, click Export Registry File on
the Registry menu.
In the Export Registry File dialog box, click Desktop in the Save in box,
type uninstall in the File name box, and then click Save.
Each key under Uninstall represents a program that appears in Add/Remove
Programs. To determine which program that each key represents, click the key,
and then view the following values:
DisplayName - the value data for the DisplayName key is the name that is
listed in Add/Remove Programs

-and-

UninstallString - the value data for the UninstallString key is the program
that is used to uninstall the program

After you identify the registry key that represents the program that is
still in Add/Remove Programs, right-click the key, and then click Delete.
After you delete the key, click Start, point to Settings, and then click
Control Panel.
In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.
In Add/Remove Programs, verify that the program for which you deleted the
registry key is not listed.
If the program list is not correct in Add/Remove Programs, you can
double-click the Uninstall.reg file on your desktop to restore the original
list of programs in the registry.
If the program list is correct in Add/Remove Programs, you can right-click
the Uninstall.reg file on your desktop, and then click Delete.
Regards,
Tony
