Nero Vista


Hi,

I cannot uninstall Nero 9 AG, or whatever it is called. I tried 4
different versions of their tool, tried different registry cleaners,
nothing......

All the removal tools give a run-time error.....

What if I just delete the directory and then clean the registry???

Re: Nero Vista

In Vista Home Premium I usually do:

Control Panel>Programs and Features - highlight the program - click
Uninstall

Have you tried this method?

If nothing else works, try reinstalling the software, then use one of
the tools to uninstall. Make sure you run them as admin.

Are you getting any error messages or some Nero utility seems to be
running according to Task Manager?

That is the ONLY way, and may I suggest, you get ahold of registry workshop to
do the job, otherwise you'll be at it all week long.

do a search for NERO, but be careful because it also brings up stuff like
'one round' that you might not want to remove.
^^ ^^
with regedit, you have to single step deletions. registry workshop shows all
the Nero hits and you can batch delete.

Re: Nero Vista

DJ,

One for good measure. I use 'Windows Installer CleanUp Utility' to clear the
registry, then you can remove any remnants from Program Files, ProgramData,
AppData, etc.

Hey all, thanks for your suggestions. A few things I have tried with
no success:

1) Registry Mechanic
2) Uninstall from Control Panel
3) Several copies of the Nero remove tool

I think I will try the re-install with repair option, or just re-
install 100%.
If that does not work, then removing the directory will be my last
option.

Or maybe I'll delete it first...??

Thanks!

Yeaah, it looks like I was using some version General-
CleanTool_2_2_0_37 or something. Maybe to early of a version?

I'll give it a try and we'll see what happens.....more to come. LOL

Re: Nero Vista

I've got a fairly quick machine but never-the-less, it took me almost an
hour to install. Greater than an hour if you include the multimedia
packages.

My suggestion was FROM Experience. I spent hours after trying for the 3rdtime
to remove it. I reinstalled Nero 785, and there was STILL 9 screwing stuff up,
until I emptied the registry.

So unless you want the merry go round, you MUST clean the registry, and the
Nero 9 uninstall does not do it.
