Uninstalling an uninstallable .cab .

This for all that have issues uninstalling a cab file that seems to be uninstallable.
First and foremost DO NOT MAKE THIS A WRITTEN IN STONE WRITEUP ...LOL
when uninstalling a cab file it is alot like any other windows program uninstaller, If the program does not have the uninstaller written into the file it has no default uninstall info.
Make sure you have not installed a file over the file you are trying to uninstall : Example.if you installed say a no lines.cab and then installed the no curtains.cab after it , if the no lines.cab didn't have an uninstaller to it you may get a message that says program failed to uninstall would you like to remove it from the program directory . (always remember if the file is for the tf3d system turn off the htc touch flow first before doing so.)
If the file is not uninstallable take and reinstall the same cab file (example no lines.cab ) then you will get the same message as before that says not uninstalled all the way just hit ok then proceed to install the cab file in the same place as the original , you may get a message that says you already have this do you want to proceed with this , hit ok . once you have reinstalled the cab over the existing one Soft reset the phone and the program should be gone ,check the installed programs and you will see it is gone.
Now the trick is that you need to see if the cab file changed any registry settings or manila files so always backup original files and settings before installing any type mods.
If you have done this you should always be able to get the results stated above..
