Question Uninstall Program

I am trying to uninstall a program through WindowsXP, which I receive the message "Could not find installation path. Uninstall aborted." Is there another way to remove the program?

Hello mollimom,

First try re installing the program, then uninstalling it. Windows may have lost the link to it or the program's uninstall routine is not there. Its the program's uninstall routine that Windows uses - windows itself doesn't have a way to uninstall any 3rd party app.

Go into the Program Files folder and into the program's folder. Is there an uninstall.exe there? It may not start with "uninstall" but be part of the name.

Regards - Charles
