Unable to uninstall a program

I 'partially' installed a Click'N'Design program on my Vista Home Premium
before the computer 'hung' due to obvious incompatibility. Unable to
uninstall it now with Control Panel's 'uninstall a program' which returns an
error message 'unable to locate the Install.log file'. Windows Install Clean
Up does not list this program (as I presume it wasn't installed using Windows
Installer).
Any suggestions please?

Re: Unable to uninstall a program

Try this :
Start ---> Run ---> Type Regedit

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\"Your program" --> right click on your program and delete it.(To uninstall a program from windows registry)

I hope it works for you
