Certain programs won't remove

[FluxCapacitorClock]

When I goto add/remove programs to get rid of some shit, there are two things that just won't go anywhere. They give me the error message "There is a problem with the Windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run."

There has to be some hardcore way to bypass that and manually remove this stuff.

what programs are you trying to remove?

[AlbinoClock]

registry entries under user/software and i think machine/software.

Ugh, I hate that.  Sometimes, the program has no appearance in add/remove, and no actual uninstaller.

Years ago (2001?) I installed McAffee Firewall and it was completely un-uninstallable. I couldn't find anyone who had it and could remove it.  It was ridiculous.  I've hated McAfee ever since.

This worked excellently. Thanks!
