Default Trouble uninstalling a program

Hi guys,

I'm having trouble uninstalling a program on my computer. After going to control panel/add/remove program and clicking remove I get the following message. 'Could not open INSTALL.LOG file.' Now the problem is the program doesnt have a foder in my Crive anymore (as I'd previously tried and thought it had been uninstalled until seeing it in the programs list) and I don't have the original disc anymore so i cant reinstall then uninstall. Any ideas what i can do to get rid of it? Thanks

Try using: Revo Uninstaller - Uninstall or remove programs, which you cannot uninstall . It has worked for me in similar situations.

Hi Cobracon, thanks, I forgot to mention that I do have Revo but havent had any success with that either. I still get the same error message.

EDIT: Just had another run though with Revo - which took me to the registry screen 9didnt happen last time) - thankful was able to delete the problem through this.

Cheers
