add remove problem

I have removed all software relating to LG DVD WRITER but still find an entry in the Add Remove section.
I am unable to delete this from the Add Remove panel.

I have followed posted instructions in removing this entry from the Registry but it still remains as an unmovable issue in the Add Remove section even after reboot.

I reinstalled the registry entry and uninstalled it again....same results.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{6811CAA0-BF12-11D4-9EA1-0050BAE317E1}

Since you have already uninstalled the program, its most probably gone but it is lurking around in Add/Remove Panel.

A quick google search threw up many utilities to correct it & here is the first hit I got http://www.intelliadmin.com/blog/2006/05/addremove-programs-cleaner-new-version.html.

 

Thanks a million it did the trick.
I did a few Google searches but not for tools.
Thanks I now have that it my arsenal.

 

Glad it worked out for you

 

Can anyone please explain how this program could be "LURKING AROUND" as it was also manually removed from the registry.
????????

 

Thanks for that additional information which will be of additional benefit to those who peruse this post.
I shall link to that site http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html and see what offers.
The tool that rsinfo linked to http://www.intelliadmin.com/blog/2006/05/addremove-programs-cleaner-new-version.html is also very good and simple to use.
Thanks again

For you Arie.........maybe
For me....still confounded...so I will just use software tools provided as I lack the necessary skills and understanding.

 

Hi Roy,

I don't think Arie was suggesting the solution was simple, only that the cause was.

When you install a program certain keys are stored in the registry, if the program is uninstalled incorrectly or the correct procedure failed during the uninstall it's likely that those registry keys would remain. It's not a serious problem but agreed it is an annoyance. Why keep so much system critical information all in one location is anyone's guess.
