• Generic icon in the Add/Remove Programs list

  Hello to you all, useful forum fans!

  I have a nice custom icon that I built in my specs of the executable version, but when I use an installer to install my program, the icon in the Add/Remove Programs list is the software generic one (with the box open and CD).  How can I get my custom icon to use in the list as well?  I'm using LabVIEW 8.5.1 (and wishing my company should pay for 2010! ).

  Thanks for your help,

• 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.

  CCleaner - home

  It is also a trustworthy tool.

• How to uninstall a program in Add/Remove programs which does not list the option "Change/Remove.

  > I'm trying to uninstall and reinstall my HP printer.

  > In my Add/Remove Programs list, there are several HP programs listed and I started to remove them (has done this in the past with no problems).

  > The last of them, I clicked on delete does not give me the options to 'Change/Remove '. The program is called "HP PSC700 Series" and seems to be the main

  What I tried:

  > I have reinstalled the printer from the CD program in the hope that it can replace every thing and then I could uninstall correctly - that didn't work.

  > Look in C:\Program Files - there was no Hewlett Packard folder

  > Look in the start menu > all programs - there was a list of Hewlett Packard who has expanded the. When extended out, he said "empty folder".

  > Posted the problem on the HP Forum twice in two months, got no response.

  > Learned how to remove the registry keys under "Software" in HKEY Local Machine and HKEY Current User. Also under HKEY USERS > default > Software.

  None of this has worked.

  > Gave a link to a family member to Support MS - "How to manually remove programs from the Add/Remove tool" I followed these instructions and

  the program remains still present in Add/Remove programs.

  Does anyone know how I can remove this program that has no program folder, no registry keys, but still works? I can still print from this computer, but cannot access the HP Director (a function to scan, print, clean & align print head, etc.), which is what started this process of trying to uninstall/reinstall the program.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated...

  My system is;

  Dell Dimension 4550

  Windows XP Pro w/SP-3 (version 2002)

  Of photo TakerYN...

  This message can be considered "solved!" I was finally able to remove the program with the HP disk. I tried to reinstall (overwrite) the program, but I received a message that the installer has detected that the program is already installed. I wanted to try it manually, so I 'opened' the disc, you click on "setup" and received the same message. At this point, I was ready to try anything and noticed the "Launcher" icon and thought, what the heck, can't hurt to try at this stage, so I clicked it. I wasn't expecting the screen, I had, who said that it would be to uninstall the program. I thought it was too good to be true and easy way (after all), but after that it's over, I checked my Add/Remove programs and my 'problem' program was gone.

  Thought I would post this so anyone who might encounter the same problem can try this.
