    windows installer cleanup

    in using this the prompt says I may have to reinstall everything. is this fact, or will what I do have remain as is and just parts of the installers that aren't removed by the installer be removed? confused yet?

    Pick the item from the list that you want to remove. Then remove it using MSICUU. If you can provide a screenshot, that would help.

      can if you want. I'm thinking it wouldn't be good to remove something that hasn't been uninstalled yet, uninstaller wise

        That's the purpose of the MSICUU, to remove items that won't uninstall with their uninstaller. Sometimes, they break. I've used MSICUU many times to fix things in this way.

          I think I get it. CCC has been giving me a hard time uninstalling. itt won't and up pops some error. so, this msicuu will do the uninstalling ?

            MSICUU can only remove things that are on the list of installed programs that were installed using the Windows Installer. When you run it, does the CCC show up in the list? What is the error you are getting? Please be exact with the wording.

            By the way, Microsoft pulled the MSICUU from their downloads because it sometimes damaged other programs when used. They now provide "Fix it" tools for their own programs.

                This web page is probably the only place I would think of getting it from: Link

                There are 2 links to it on the page down towards the bottom. It's Version 2.5.0.1 by the way and the last version released.

                  prog files\ati\cim\bin\installmanagerapp.exe seems to be missing, but that's not the original error which was a missing .msi, and there are 2 instances of cat install manager listed in add/remove. I can uninstall ccc with whatever latest cat there are, but just not with add/remove.

                    So, if you uninstall the currently installed CCC, it leaves the other one in there?

                        yanno, I never actually looked, but I'm assuming one is still there. I'll find out the next cat release. anyway, uninstalling both results in the same thing, just not at the same time. in add/remove "change" is the only action to be taken, no "uninstall" option, tho that was there at one point but not recently.

                          Hi. With the new CIM setup, Change or Repair are the options now. You select the Change option and then in the CIM, you can choose to uninstall everything. That's how it's been for a while now on Windows 7.

                              I haven't used XP as a main OS for almost 2 years now. With your hardware, Windows 7 would be a much better choice.

                                this tool found some stuff i uninstalled ages ago but its not perfect.

                                nvidia drivers still pick up game installs from ages ago, and i can't find any traces of those games anywhere.
