Cab file won't uninstall

starstruck · #1 (**permalink**) 03-03-2009, 01:47 PM

I installed a cab file (Lexxirae Vista_Like_2), now I don't like it any more. I tried to unistall it, but it doesn't work. It goes through the motions and then says " Lexxirae VistaLike_2 was not completely removed. Do you want to removve it from the list of installed programs?" I click yes, but the programs is still listed (even after a soft rest).

Is there any other way to remove this damn cab? Please help!!!!

I think it will be under "My Device/Windows/Start Menu" check and see if its still listed there.

or just use resco to search for the file name.

Just deleting the files for an application don't remove the application because there are still entries in the registry for the app. If you are going to delete all of the files for an app that won't uninstall, make sure that you clean up the registry of all occurences of that app as well. Otherwise the you may get errors after a soft reset, etc.
