If you wanted to try to find what the installer is detecting, you could try Syinternals procmon, capture events. Regscanner (free) is a convenient way to search the complete registry for all matching entries found. Whichever approach you use, back up before you do. If so, you could then uninstall it with a scan for leftovers.īeyond that, lacking exe's or a restore point, you're down to trying to remove entries from the registry. If you can find some exe's you can use the force uninstall method.Īnother approach again using Revo is to see if it's still listed as an installed program (although I think you'd be very lucky). Ultrasearch (free), let it index (pretty quick) then see if you can find related folders by trying some suitable (instant) searches. However, larger programs may also create folders elsewhere- an relatively easy way to find these is to use e.g. As you have deleted a folder, you may not now have any unless you can retrieve the folder from the Recycle bin. With a partly uninstalled program, I would normally try to point Revo uninstaller at any remaining exe files, and force uninstall using that.

Otherwise- use a restore point created before you uninstalled it, then uninstall it using Revo uninstaller or Geek uninstaller, which scan for leftovers.

Hi, Have you searched for a cleanup tool or uninstaller specific to this? On the other hand, both the repair and remove options are not finding whatever it needs to tell it that files or settings still exist to tell it something still exists that is stopping the install process.Ĭan someone tell me what the install is looking at, that it will not start the installation, but instead giving me the repair/remove option that I can delete so it will install? So obviously, on one hand, it will not just start the installation process as it is finding something that is re-directing it to the repair/remove message. Now selecting uninstall, I get the error 1605 - Only valid for programs that are installed. I downloaded this file and copied it to Windows/System 32 and Windows/SysWow64. If I select remove, I get the error 0x80040702 - Unable to open gameuxinstallhelper.dll. If I select repair, it advises that it has to be installed in order to repair. Now, trying to re-install it, the first option I get is to repair or remove. After that I found that the program folder still contained a number of files, which I then deleted. Having a number of scenery addons installed, through the control panel I uninstalled all that I could find listed there.

After upgrading to 10, I started having problems with Microsoft Flight Simulator, with it periodically failing.
