Title: How to uninstall with missing uninstall.exe
Post by: Burlo on September 23, 2009, 11:03:48 AM

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.)
