Hi Harvey.

This problem is limited to a specific program? You are able to uninstall other programs?

We will analyze and identify the cause of the problem. Normally, this problem occurs when Windows Installer could not find the required components.

Method 1:

I suggest you run the Microsoft Fixit to try and Uninstall the software from the computer.

Check out the link to launch the Fixit:

a. click 'Accept'
b. Select "Detect problems and apply the patches for me".
c. Select "Uninstall".
d. Select "Encyclopedia Britannica"
e. Fixit will search for bad registry files and try to fix it.

Method 2:

If the problem persists, I suggest to perform the steps described in the article and check.
