How to uninstall with missing uninstall.exe

[Burlo]

I recently had an external hard drive with all my games and music on, but it completely failed on me and is beyond repair. The main problem is that when i try to uninstall software on my computer it says the uninstall cannot be found becuase it was on the hard drive. Is there anyway of uninstalling these programs without wiping my hard drive?

You can try uninstalling through the Add / Remove Programs in Control Panel.
(I'm guessing you're using some version of Windows.)

Im using Vista by the way.
I tried but an error message appeared saying the uninstall is in the hard drive but theres no way i can get to it.
