hi. I have the following "issue". I can not remove from the list of WM some applications. I explain. I uninstalled Alen-software Quick Menu .... I removed the remaining directories ..... I looked in the register and I erased every item left by the software....

SKtools doesn't show the application as present (files to uninstall)...

but if I go on WM settings-system-uninstall applications the software seems installed....

if I click on "remove" it says that program is to be uninstalled , etc. continue?
at "yes" it says "removing Alen-Software quickmenu not complete. Remove from the list of applications installed?
If I click on " yes " it seems to complete the action, but even after soft reset everything remains as before ... the program is not installed ....no key is present in the registry....... but .....


any suggestion?
PS: the same with "Prodson Hologram" ... :-(

Thanx and sorry for my english

If the only issue is that the program still appears in the Installed Program List and you don't want it to be there(assuming it is uninstalled), you can try the following steps to remove the registry entry corresponding to that program name.

‘AppInstall’ holds the list of installed programs. The exact location of this registry key is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\AppInstall

Find if there is still an entry for the program under AppInstall, and delete.
Soft Reset and see if it works.

ROM is 1.93. But I have found solution: in SK tools is present "Bad/Old Uninstall Info": launch it and resolve!

Hello.

Could you please give me detailed info on how you did this?

I have SK Tools v4.4.6. I changed the main settings from :

Tools --> Settings --> Automation --> Bad/Old Uninstall Info

to 'Use in Auto Mode'.

But when I perform a CleanUp, the invalid entry is not displayed, nor it does in the Uninstall List.

Is that what you did and made it work or something else?

Thanx!
