“Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility’

Warning The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is provided "as is" to help resolve installation problems for programs that use Microsoft Windows Installer. If you use this utility, you may have to reinstall other programs. Caution is advised. We recommend that you do not use this utility with 2007 Office system products.

http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

“Revo Uninstaller helps you to uninstall software and remove unwanted programs installed on your computer even if you have problems uninstalling and cannot uninstall them from "Windows Add or Remove Programs" control panel applet.

Revo Uninstaller is a much faster and more powerful alternative to "Windows Add or Remove Programs" applet!

With its advanced and fast algorithm, Revo Uninstaller analyzes an application's data before uninstall and scans after you uninstall an application. After the program's regular uninstaller runs, you can remove additional unnecessary files, folders and registry keys that are usually left”

And read this:

Windows Vista Compatibility Center  

First thing to do is to check its Vista Compatibility at the above link, and if not see what patches/solutions are available from its Manufacturer..  

[http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-compatibility-mode/](http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-compatibility-mode/)  

If it is not Vista Compatibile, read the info at the above link.  

This works for some Programs, but not all.

This applies to Software Programs, NOT Hardware Drivers.  

If it is Vista Compatibile > uninstall it > Re-download/Save to your Desktop > right-click on its setup.exe
Ø       
Run as Admin.

Cheers.
