  First, click on the link below and download the appwiz.cpl file, save it to your desktop. Right-click on the file and choose copy. Click on start > run > type x:\windows\system32 (x is the letter of your main generally c drive). In a free space in the system32 folder, right click and choose Paste.

• 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

  part of the installed software - it is a 243Mbs size.

  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.

  Original title: MY system properties show that I have a 2002 XP pro with sp3.

  When I go to add & remove programs, it is empty in front of microsoft SP3 & a few other import programs. Does this mean they are missing or have been corrupted and that I have to re - install?  If so, should I install the previous programs I've read on the site of micrsoft?

• try to get "missing ___.msi" several times on different programs, when I browse to find and remove in Add/Remove Programs, it is not there.

  I have windows XP, .NET 4.0 (4.5)?, service packs1, 2, 3, 4.0 and 4.5. I have a HP Pavilion a620n. I do not know is that 4 or if I need and IE8. I tried to remove several programs in Add/Remove Programs, and it said an ending with .msi file that is "missing or moved" is necessary, even if it is for an Installer (?), no withdrawal. He arrived with more than one program as I said. When I search I can't find the requested file. If it is missing, how can I proceed? Please help if possible and thank you in advance for your time!  :)       Kinamaygray

  Hi Kinamaygray,

  .NET frameWork is an integral part of many windows-based applications and provides common functionality for these applications to run. I suggest you do not uninstall the .net FrameWork, it may cause some programs not do not work. For more information on the .net FrameWork, you can check the link.

  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/zw4w595w.aspx

  I suggest you run the Microsoft Fix - it from the link below and if it helps to solve the problems of the uninstalling programs.
