Adware 6 uninstall probs
When I try to uninstall this program using "add/remove programs" utility, I get a "Wise Uninstall" window which states "Could not open INSTALL.LOG file".
Would there be some way to load or find this file? How would I uninstall the program without it? I'm running XP pro Thanks

Hello LWHiway, see if this works for you.
Some programs, particularly shareware programs, don't list themselves in the Add/Remove Programs list. To delete these programs, first check for an uninstall utility in the program's Start menu, or in the program's folder. If none exists, drag the program's folder to the Recycle Bin, then restart your computer. If your computer restarts without an error message, you can safely empty the program from the Recycle Bin. If you receive an error message when you restart your computer, check the folder c:\ Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup for a link to the program that you removed. If there is no link, run the Registry Editor (Start | Run | regedit) and check the following keys. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\RunServices HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Run If you find an entry related to the error message that you are receiving, carefully record that entry, or back up your registry before deleting that entry. If there is no entry in those registry keys, you may want to restore the program's folder from the Recycle Bin until you learn how to dispose of it cleanly. Hopefully the above does the trick.

Another option is to download the latest Adaware version. It will automatically detect the older 6.0 and remove/overwrite it. If you wish to uninstall the newer version, just use the Add/Remove area as you were.

Problem Solved
 Thanks to both replies.Memory isn't what it used to be. I looked for the program and did drag/drop to the desktop and then to the trash bin. Did a re-start and everything worked fine with no errors. Adware SE still works fine. By the way, when I downloaded the newer version ,SE, it did not, nor did it offer to overwrite to delete the original Adware 6 version. Thanks again Hiway Problem solved |
