    I have a problem with Windows Installer its stuck on installing


    Hello everyone ,

    I have tryed to remove a program that I have installed for collage . It was installed by some key generator that professor gave us . When I tried to remove the program it wanted me to put the CD in and than continiue with uninstallation . I dont have the CD so I clicked on cancel but it poped up some error and now the preparing to install is stuck I cant do anything when I press to close the window it wont let me its just frozen there . Also whenever I try to open install or remove other programs this pops up first and I cant do anything since I cant close this window . I am using windows 10 .

    It's extremely hard to uninstall some programs if not having the disc or source file used for installing. It may take brute force to accomplish it, I use CCleaner for some uninstalls but there's other programs available on the 'net.

    Revo uninstaller: Forced Uninstall.

    You can browse to remnants of the program and let it scan and then you approve and it removes what it has found and you have approved. You can repeat this if necessary.

    (Revo 4 may look different - this is Revo 3).

    Thank you so much for replying.

    See:
    Download Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Free and Full Download

    And v2.1.1 is a very old version. I have 3 Pro; v4 has been out for a year or more.

    Also see this free prog which I suddenly recall offers forced uninstall:
    Wise Program Uninstaller - Uninstall, Remove or Force Uninstall Programs Completely

    And have you considered using a restore point? (System Restore?)
