If a programme is not appearing in add/remove programs goto the following registry location:
HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentversionUninstall[name of
application]ModifyPath
If there is no modify path under the applications name then check through each GUID for the programme concerned.
Copy contents to command window and change the /I for a /X if neccessary.
e.g.
MsiExec.exe /I{CDC86F04-DA60-4043-B177-B870CE081040}
The GUID is unique for each programme installed.
Change to:
MsiExec.exe /x{CDC86F04-DA60-4043-B177-B870CE081040}
This should force the programme to uninstall – you can check by seeing if the GUID entry has disappeared.
You can also use this command on any MSI install package including drivers:
e.g.
MsiExec /x ‘c:driversWin_x86_SES_Driver.MSI’
