This is a known problem on WM5. I haven't been able to uninstall anything from my wizard since I got it.

I just use spb backup to back it up each time and if I don't like the app then do a restore. Makes the application evaluation process pretty serial though.

wish i could be of more help...

Well, here's my approach.

#1. I do the Windows uninstall. When it asks, remove it from the list.

#2. I do a search using Total Commander or Resco File Explorer for files/folders that belong to the program and delete them. (This can be a little tricky, since they may use the company name, like Resco, or the program name, or some part of the program name, or an abbreviation of the program name.)

#3. If there are any additional problems, I search the Registry as in #2. This is mainly if there is something wierd like I get an error message related to the program, for example at startup. Or if I am trying to reinstall and it won't let me.

After this has happened quite a few times (say every month or so, you might want to do a hard reset and just reinstall the programs you want. That will clear out the mess.

Is there already a workaround for this problem? Because I like to test out different software and uninstalling it is a lot of work this way

Thanks
