How to uninstall a .cab flagged as "nouninstall=1"?

I installed a version of Pocket Express (Handmark) on my device, and found out later that in the _setup.xml, nouninstall=1 is flagged. There is no entry in the Settings/System/Remove Programs list, SKTools does not see it, and nothing in Windows/AppMgr.

I manually removed the files and registry entries, but when I try to install a different version of Pocket Express, I get the error "previous version will be uninstalled", and "uninstall unsucessful". New versions don't install properly.

Where is the new version getting the information that a previous version was installed, after I removed all the files? How can I cleanly remove an application that was flagged for no uninstall during installation?

Thanks for any help.
