Hi, Rani.
If you tell us the name of the application, someone here might recognize it and have a suggestion. If you still have the installation media, you could install it again - and then uninstall it. The re-install often restores the registry entries and other pointers that allows the UNinstall to work again. Another possibility is that the app has been uninstalled and is completely gone except for that lingering reference in Programs and Features. What happens if you answer Yes to that "Would you like to remove..." question? RC -- R. C.

Hi Jack,
The Application is still there. And I can run it. I tried to uninstall Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and Adobe Photoshop. Both these applications gave me the same error as I mentioned earlier.

Hi White,
I want to uninstall Adobe Photoshop when I got this error. Then I tried to uninstall Firefox 2.0, but again the same error. I tried re-installing and uninstalling but with no success. Nothing happens when you select 'Yes' for the "Would you like to remove ..." question. "R. C. White" wrote: Hi, Rani.
