W7x64 - cannot uninstall preloaded XP mode

Hey
W7x64 comes with preloaded XP mode (and Virtual PC). I want to uninstall both. 1st step is XP uninstall mode.
XP mode is 'Stop' for the below:

XP mode is not listed in the Control Panel - programs and features (because the XP mode is preloaded, according to research)

So my research allowed to use BACK with the following command to uninstall XP mode: MsiExec.exe /X {1374CC63-B520-4f3f-98E8-E9020BF01CFF}
When I do that, I get the message of installation: this action is only valid for products that are currently installed

Any advice on how to uninstall preloaded XP mode if the same DOS command line will not work?

Sorry if this wrong topic posted in. Thanks for any help.

Yes... That's what I had to do, just delete the virtual hard disk, which is what you have to do in the end.

  • I can not using F8 safe mode, so I can not get access to my admin account and therefore cannot uninstall my program

    original title: administrator, f8 safe mode access

    My computer problem begins with not being about to uninstall a program. I need administrator permissions. I am the administrator with a password. I'm not invited to give a. Nothng happens when I press a button with a shield on it. I received another message that tells me "unable to open the access control editor: the system cannot find the specified file. I found the instructions online to restart the computer (by pressing the F8 key) in safe mode. Once in safe mode I can essentially take possession of the C drive and reset admin ACCT. in SUMMARY, I can't have with using F8 safe mode (I tried once bagillion) so I can not get access to my admin account and therefore cannot uninstall my program. Can anyone help?

    I don't know anything about "reset admin account" but here are two things that may help the case to start in safe mode.  First, enter the mode safe mode with f8 key is a matter of time.  On my computer (Dell) during the boot process, I'm going to get a screen send me options of start of f2 and f12, which is to enter the BIOS.  I can start hitting key f8 then but you will in safe mode unless I'm hit immediately after that the screen with f2 & f12 choices goes.  I just hit several times for a few moments at this time.

  • After Malware that my login is disabled cannot start in safe mode

    Hi if anyone can help.

    A friend tried to watch movies online, I'm not sure of the site they visited, but were asked to install MacKeeper and I believe that they did, as I noticed it was to download and installed the following day and I asked them why they did this and they said it was the only way to watch movies!

    Anyway to cut a long story short my friend then called me to say they received a "pop" window to say that my computer has a virus and call a number of 1800... I told them to do nothing certainly not call the number and I would like to sort.

    So basically since then that then I can not connect to my main account at the start, the section where you type your password won't let me type into it and there is a symbol of the brand of 'question' next to it. If I hold my mouse over the question mark I get a dialog box stating "Please enter your password to iCloud as... as well as the date. I can only login as a guest and I cannot connect in 'safe' mode by holding down the SHIFT key.

    I deleted the MacKeeper Application (and also another OS player application that is newly installed the same day!) and empty the memory cache of my browsers and also now upgraded to 10.11.6

    I also run disk utilities, but still I'm getting this problem trying to connect to my main user account!

    I think that it is some kind of malware, does anyone have ideas how to solve at least the connection problem?

    If I could stamp out to see if there is any malware stuff going on behind the scenes it would be too great!

    All suggestions welcome.

    Thanks, Ciaran

    How did you uninstall the MacKeeper application? Please be as specific as possible, unless you have followed the steps, I suspect that your system has installed to uninstall. If this is the case then you will need to re-install and uninstall immediately by following the instructions of developers. Otherwise, the best thing to do is to do a wipe and installing OS X and then manually install your applications and restore your data from your Time Machine backup.

    I'm sure you probably learned to not let this 'friend' enter the 100' of your computer.

  • I can't uninstall two extensions. I tried the troubleshooting tips given in "Cannot uninstall an add-on" but that did not help. Maybe because I have 4.1 and it is for 3.5/3.6. I disabled the but I'd rather not have it on my computer.

    I went through the steps on 'cannot uninstall an add-on. " Uninstall in safe mode doesn't seem to work and when I try to uninstall it manually, I'm either wrong, or that the information does not apply to 4.1 because I don't see anything in the folder that contains that matches the ID in the extension folder.

    I also tried to look in the folder of installation of firefox and uninstall from the Control Panel, but no luck there.

  • Yet CS6 cannot run in serialized Mode Non-redevance

    I had a lot of problems to make Encore CS6 runs correctly.


    I have a subscription to creative cloud.

    I downloaded Premiere Pro. First is installed as well as yet.

    When I opened again for the first time, everything works fine. Once I got close and try to open it again, I get an error message that says:

    "Adobe CS6 still cannot operate in serialized mode non-redevance. The application must be serialized with a royalty bearing serial number.

    After that, another window opens asking me to enter a serial number. As I am a subscriber of creative cloud, that I don't have a serial number to get in here. Adobe does not provide one for users of creative Cloud.

    (I've included screenshots of these posts below).


    I have lived many messages from the forum and even tried to contact Adobe, but no one has any solution to this. The customer service is almost non-existent.


    Here's what I 'think' is happening.

    Initially, I downloaded and tried to run again as a trial. Later, I decided to subscribe via Creative Cloud. I deleted again and first since my mac (but has not used the "uninstall" option, because I didn't know that existed, I just deleted all the files). I downloaded then first again as shown in creative cloud. I guess there could be a kind of hidden file or key that says not to run without a serial number. How to remove this file/key or even if that's the problem I have no idea.

    I hope someone here can help you!

    My only solution at the moment whenever I have to use again is to uninstall and reinstall. This is very far from ideal!

    Hi jaypurcell,

    I think that you are facing this problem because you do not uninstall the earlier version properly. First uninstall your current version and then try to clean your machine to remove all traces of previous installation using the cleanup scripts posted by Adobe here - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

    and then install again yet.

  • My 8 victory... infected with the virus cannot start in safe mode...

    recently, my computer of windows 8 has a virus... (miss click an ad pop up and it's on the computer)

    I already got Malewarebytes Anti Maleware and installed AVG, but this virus that bypassed and infected my computer. I tried the standard F8 during startup to go into safe mode and run my anti virus scanners, but apparently it does not work in windows 8. Some say SHIFT F8, that does not work either. Also any other method of setting up safe menu starting boot or mode does not work as it should connect on the desktop to go threw the settings and activate it for the next boot upward. This does not work for me since the virus I have apprently made my fall display driver, after I get my user password to start the desktop computer, so I don't see anything but the pointer of the mouse, everything is black. Y at - it another way to start in safe mode or trigger a recovery system or restore without actually being on the desktop?

    Why windows might change?

    I already ordered a recovery disk as that seemed to be my only option. But the works of windows 8 way I will NEVER buy a computer with it again. Cannot start in safe mode and can't do the simplest task without being a great test. It's crazy. I thought that windows 8 was supposed to be simple and easy to use!

    Please reset your PC. The procedure is given in the link below:

  • Uninstall/remove XP Mode in Win 7 (no 'uninstall')

    Greetings;

    I'm having a hard time to find a good answer to this. Thanks for any help.

    I just put in place a new Veriton Acer running Windows 7 pro. I did the install OEM checking the box to install "Windows XP Mode" as part of the package. Everything went well except that since, I decided that I didn't need or want XP Mode in the system after all and I would remove it.

    Several well-meaning people have told me to go into the menu to uninstall and simply uninstall "Windows XP Mode" and any mention of the 'Virtual Machine '. They tell me that even after that I have explain, once again, that no choice exists in my list of programs that can be uninstalled. Even the Help Page Windows said to uninstall programs - uninstall Panel. But there is NO entry for the Windows XP Mode or virtual machine available in the Uninstall list and. Nada.

    What I have is a "Windows XP Mode" folder in my program folder. I would just make a right-click and delete this folder (about 1.2 GB) to solve the problem. If so, what about the part "Virtual Machine"?

    I think that 'XP Mode' does not appear in the Uninstall list because I've never used or one of its files at all - it may have never been really installed, programs are often the first time that you are actually running them.

    I am an experienced computer user but no geek - if not too complex please.

    Any help appreciated. Thank you.

  • Error 16, corrupted files cannot uninstall/reinstall

    I recently downloaded creative cloud and Flash Professional CC of the trial. Then trying to open Flash I got an error 16. So stupidly, I deleted the files manually thinking I could reinstall just by using creative cloud. However now creative cloud always think installed sound and is unable to uninstall it. I tried to restore the files, but still have error 16 and cannot uninstall by using creative cloud. so I don't know what to do. I also used Creative cloud cleanser but it does not work, after you have reinstalled creative cloud he always thinks its installed and will not let me uninstall it.
