If you just want to remove the entry from the add/remove menu, a lot of the registry cleaners will allow you to do that. The one I use (regcleaner) provides that functionality. I think I got it a www.majorgeeks.com.

If you mean, how do remove an installed program if the add/remove method didn't work, the only one I know to do it is to delete the directory and then using a registry cleaner (or editor) to remove the entries. There is probably a better way to do it.

TuneUp Utilities 2004 has a Uninstall Manager that will remove those pesky entrys.

Microsoft has a utility too.

The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility does:

• Provide a dialog box where you can select one or more programs that were installed by Windows Installer. You select the programs on the Installed Products list in the Windows Installer CleanUp dialog box. After you make this selection, the utility removes only the Windows Installer configuration information that is related to those programs.

• Remove the files and registry settings that make up the Windows Installer configuration information for programs that you select.
