    That probably means the app has been uninstalled already, or the Windows version wasn't installed at all.

    FYI, after I installed the software and reran the 300 MB setup file, I got the "Remove" option.

    Rerun the SketchUp 2023 installer file, and click "Remove". You can download the trial setup file again if you don't have it.

    The uninstaller string points to a .dmg file, which is weird because the file type belongs to Mac.

    Do you see any .exe files in the following folder?

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information{5a2cfe94-23d3-11ed-861d-0242ac120017}"

    If not, rerun the SketchUp 2023 installer file, and click "Remove".

    Please download UninstallView, a portable freeware from Nirsoft.

    Run the program.

    Select Sketchup from the list, and press Ctrl + C to copy the info.

    Post the information here.
