Uninstalled but still shows in uninstall/install program.

*Completed* Uninstalled but still shows in uninstall/install program.

Well basically,
i uninstalled "Fable Lost Chapters" because it was using up space
on my drive. So i uninstalled the game, half way through the uninstallation
the PC lagged so i used task manager to close the uninstaller.

My first mistake was right there, after when i tried to uninstall it, it said
i had finished but everything was clearly still there. So i read around the forums,
and i used a force uninstaller which worked fine, except the "fable lost chapters"
icon was still in the "uninstall or change program" windows, with no stats,
(ie how big it is, last altered ect). Game was gone but the value was still there.

So i fished around the regeditor hoping to find it, but no luck there.
I have also tried using "C CLeaner" to delete the entry but it gives me this
error message "Cannot delete MSI installer" no idea what that means.

Anyone know a solution. Oh yeah anyone who helps will get +rep

Thank You
Regards
DAZZ(^.^)

Hello,

Have you tried to uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs. Often when something like this happens, you try to uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs, you get an error about it not being installed any longer, and the entry is gone!

@niemiro Tried it even before you said, it doesnt even let me right click to expand to the "uninstall" window

@richc46 Will give it a shot, except i wont use system restore since im not the only one to use the PC, and family will probably disaprove of me doing it.

@ilikefree will give it a try

@Bare Foot Kid Thanks for the solution, already tried though

@All, deleted it. Anyway +rep to all those that replied.
