360052 2005-05-31 10:20:00 I have had that b4 you will probably have to delete them manually then use a registry cleaner afterwards to gid rid of the left overs in the registry. Or you could try installing then programs again then try removing Overdrive_5000 (4950)
360053 2005-05-31 16:02:00 Well hey,you're talking about THE uninstaller in +- programs?Dont use it myself cos it
won't - !Prefer others like the great Ashampoo Uninstaller Suite because it logs all the
alterations to the system/files/reg with a snapshot on installation&uninstalls properly.
Even My Uninstaller (free) is better than Windows crippled version which seems to
protect some installations(try getting rid of Nortons!)& doesn't get rid of them from
registry;which must be done manually-in fact search for all files&delete.(Manually)

360054 2005-06-01 01:35:00 Do these programmes have a common link (apart from WIndows). I'd hazard a gues that it is an Installshield or Windows Installer (.MSI) problem, more likely the former if it only effects Installshield/DemoShild/Packager For The Web generated installations.

HAve a look at Installshield Consumer Central (consumer.installshield.com). You may need to delete your Programe Files\Common Files\Installshield\.....\Engine folder and/or use MSIZap to stop/clean any incomplete installations/uninstalls.
