I cannot uninstall Nero 9 Trial

[kile32]

I have tried it at least 5 times.  It says it was successfully uninstalled but it never disappears from the Programs and Features window.  Any suggestions?

Is it still on your Program menu?  If so, will the program start if you click on it?

Sometimes installation programs leave behind a lot of crap. Download RevoUninstaller and use it to uninstall the program.

I second that. Most uninstall apps do not remove all the application data and registry entries.

Even Revo doesn't always get everything.

That said. I only uninstall using Revo but then I take a quick second step and scan the software name with Everything search engine. It only takes a few seconds and more often then not it will find a few leftovers.

evil, My impression (from just having tried "Everything") that it functions only the one instance of the search and to use it again it needs to be downloaded again. Is that correct? It does NOT appear in my "programs".truenorth

Did you download the .exe or the .zip?

The .zip is portable so will not install. The .exe will (or should) install. Mine is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Everything

Didn't note but i suspect it was an .exe as i did not have to unzip anything. Used it on an XP desktop to remove vestiges of Norton (which it seems to have done well). But now I'm on a laptop with win 7 so I'll do a search tomorrow and see if i can locate the program. However no advisory of "new programs installed" came up.Thanks,truenorth

Hmm. I just did a new install of it and didn't see anything that would make it a tricky install.

Used these options and it is in my start menu and program files.

Thanks everyone for your input.  It worked and I was able to remove the 14 other files in my registry that Nero seemed to dig it's claws into.  But it's gone now.

A little late but I found this. Might come in handy for someone in the future. Nero General CleanTool (click the Nero General CleanTool tab)

Evil, Still haven't gotten to the XP computer yet but something i do notice from your last post.Whereas you left ticked the 3 default choices i unchecked ALL of them (because i did not desire any of them). However i would not have thought that would have affected it's appearance in programs.truenorth

This is why i gave up on Nero years ago...CDBurnerXPro is a good Free replacement.
