535508 2007-03-24 13:25:00 I'm trying to get rid of a programme - Google Sketchup 6. It doesn't have its own uninstall function, and when I try remove it in Add/Remove Programs nothing happens when I click on the Remove button.

Any ideas on how I can get rid of this?

WinXP Pro SP1.

Thanks.

535511 2007-03-24 14:34:00 If it is not listed in the "windows" unistall list, try a third party uninstaller.

If windows doesn't allow an unistall, you could try:

support.microsoft.com

BUT, you will still need a third party uninstaller. The above program will NOT unistall it for you. It will simply make it possible for another program to do it for you.

535516 2007-03-24 15:40:00 You could try Googles advice..

Thx. Their advice was what I first attempted after Add/Remove - the "Windows Missing Shortcut" message appears.

Nevermind. I think I'll just kill all the files and folders via Windows Explorer and see what happens.
