Add/Remove program does not

When I bring up Add/Remove Programs, I have two entries that correspond to the two programs that are no longer on my drive.  When I click on the Add/Remove button, nothing going on other than the refreshing window.  When I try to use the Windows Installer Cleanup utility, I'm not either of the programs in the list.  I think (it's been awhile now and I didn't keep any notes) that they have been installed from Visual Basic 2008 Special Edition.  While this does not seem to hurt, it's annoying because I want to test the installation and am constantly adding and removing programs. b

After some research on the registry, I discovered that both programs in question did not appear in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\current\Uninstall that fills the Add/Remove list, but in \HKEY_USERS\\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall (and same string to HKEY_CURRENT_USER...)  I guess that everything that I have to do is delete the two entries here, but I have not yet tried.  I suspect, but do not yet know, it's the solution to my problem.

  • Add/Remove Programs does not locate all my programs installed after the replacement of hard disk

    I recently had to replace the hard drive of my laptop.  We have cloned the original on the new hard drive.  The programs are all visible in Windows Explorer in the directory program files.  However, they are in the utility "Add/Remove Programs".  I can't open the program in exe files.  I am told by the manufacturer of software, in one case, I need to uninstall the program and reinstall it.  I can't uninstall it without the Add/Remove utility (or can I?)  Thanks for your comments

    If it works, you are finished. Otherwise:

    By Ramesh MVP, one of the most frequent causes for Add/Remove programs being blank is that a recent installation/uninstallation routine may have deleted the contents of the registry key of any 'uninstall' here:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

    Each subkey stores the display name, UninstallString information related to the program you have installed. Open Regedit.exe and navigate to the above key. Check if the "Uninstall" key is empty (contains no subkeys). In this case, your best best is to restore the system state by using System Restore. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Add/Remove programs will not remove some programs, so, how can I remove them safetly?

    Most of the programs of Apple Inc. will not update, because of the old software cannot be removed.

    Quote: An older version of Apple Software Update Guy can be deleted. And the same is true with Hello and several other Apple programs. I just bought an i - Pod Touch 32 GB 4th generation and want to use al fetures that come with it have iTunes can offer.

    Question number two; my computer was built by my nephew, who has done a great job, and I have a valid copy that Windos XP Pro 64-bit Edition installed on the computer, the problem is that it does not provide me the dics that he used to install all programs for Windows XP Pro 64-bit Edition. Is there a way I can get a copy? And yes I already ask my nephew and he's more about them. I want to srcub the hard disk and then reinstall! So every thing can work as new, as this should also take care of question number 1. There are other programs that I can not delete by using Add or remove programs.

    For your iTunes problem...

    This message occurs when the registry key pointing to iTunes uninstaller is corrupted (or uninstall of iTunes has been moved or deleted).  The simplest thing to do is just clean things, and then try again.

    Used to have a tool just to do this, called the Windows Installer Microsoft Cleanup utility.  Apparently, however, when this tool has been used (I think with MS Office), removes sometimes more he was supposed to, and that's why Microsoft has removed the tool of its download servers.

    The Windows Installer Cleanup utility is always available from http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html , or you can use the free Revo Uninstaller.  Before using or the other of these tools, create a restore point from the system, backup the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT, or (if you can afford) creates a full disk image or a clone - just in case.

    Here are the usual directions to perform a "clean installation" of iTunes, based on Support of Apple HT1926 article.

    Go to control panel > Add/Remove programs
    Remove these applications:
    1 Apple Software Update
    2. Apple Mobile Device Support
    3 Hello
    4 iPod for Windows (this may or may not exist, be it, it is not necessary, then we can remove it)
    5 iTunes
    6 QuickTime

    Open my computer > C: > Program Files
    Delete this files (if present)
    1 iPod
    2 iTunes
    3 QuickTime

    Empty your temp directory:
    Open my computer > C: > Documents & Settings > username > Local Settings and delete the contents of the folder called "Temp".

    If you don't see the local settings, enable hidden files:
    Tools > Folder Options > view tab
    Select Show Hidden Files & folder, and then click OK

    Once this file is empty, restart the computer

    [See note above regarding cleanup utility]
    Download & install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Launch the utility: start > programs > Windows Installer Clean Up
    Select one of the applications mentioned above and click on remove

    You will need to buy another copy of XP 64 if that's what you want.  Because Microsoft stopped selling Windows XP quite while ago - and XP 64 was never that popular anyway - it may be difficult to find and expensive.  Here is one (last one left) on Amazon for $90: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-System-Builders-Version/dp/B000JTBX08/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1322966638&sr=8-2

  • Withdrawal of obsolete lists in the Add/Remove program list?

    I'm working on the clean-up of an older system running Windows XP Pro. The system has two hard drives... whose the second crashed and burned in a fatal way. Software that has been installed on the second drive hard disappeared and is not installed on the replacement drive. The problem this presents, although perhaps minor but annoying, however, is that programs that were on the second disc appear on the Add/Remove Programs list, accessed via the Control Panel, even if they are no longer really exist on the system. Is there a good way to clean the list add/remove program entries for programs that have been lost and never be recovered due to a failure of hard drive like that? Also, are there any other proceedures recommended to clean all traces of system programs that have been lost in this way? Try to remove the traces of these programs using the Add/Remove list does not of course because the entries in the list of reference locations and files that no longer exist.

    Thank you.

    Download ccleaner from piriform. Click Tools > uninstall. Highlight the entries that appear, but is really installed. Then choose Delete. Reformatting is an extreme measure for a simple issue resloved. Regarding running the ccleaner registry cleaning tool, that I personally used for several years without a single incident. This does not apply to all the registry tools however.

  • KB2728973 does not appear in the list, add / remove programs

    Hi, I am using Windows XP Media Center Edition with service pack 3 is installed, and KB2728973 is displayed as being installed on the Microsoft update site, but KB2728973 does not appear in the list, add / remove programs. The rest of July for Windows XP updates appear as being installed on the two site update of Microsoft and adding list / remove programs, it seems strange that KB2728973 does not work. It is important that KB2728973 does not appear in the list of add / remove programs? or do I need to do more to install it? I also tried to manually install the KB2728973, but again, he did not appear in the list Add / Remove programs. I understand that there is a position similar to mine, but I read it, and I realized that the question of the poster was a bit different from mine. I also wanted to take the time to mention that the automatic updates of Windows listed KB2728973 as being installed successfully, but it always seems strange that KB2728973 does not appear in the list, add / remove programs. I also checked in C:\WINDOWS, and there wasn't any folder $NtUninstall to KB2728973. Oh, and Yes, I have "Show updates" checked in Add / Remove programs.   Contribution to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    It is normal that some updates to not appear in the list of add / remove programs in the control panel for various reasons, but in this case, it will update the entries in the untrusted certificates store then to see if it is installed, you can check if the newly revoked certificates are listed.

    Here is a link to a page that explains the changes he brings (the certificates that have been revoked):

    [url] http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/advisory/2728973 [url]

    Scroll down to the section that has the right:

    How can [B] after you apply the update, I check the certificates in the Microsoft Untrusted Certificates Store? [/ B]

    If you have no events in Event Viewer, you can open IE and click on Internet Options - Content tab - then in the Middle under "Certificates" click on "Certificates" and then click on the arrow to scroll to the right and click the "Untrusted publishers" tab.  You should see all those listed in the MS article here.

    It also creates this key in the registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software \Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Windows\ {C3C986D6-06B1-43BF-90DD-BE30756C00DE}

    where it lists what Windows Update of roots revoked.
