If you cannot uninstall from Add-Remove Programs...the following freeware may be useful:

Answer 3

Hi, thanks for the replies, I have tried it using the control panel but it prompts me to give a location to a folder something like this c:\jhfdhtv874nfmgf845 (random and differant everytime I try to do it)

I have tried using Revo uninstaller and it does the same thing. I am missing the .msi file which the uninstall needs to uninstall and the same problem is occuring when I try to update, the updater or installer is looking for this .msi that isnt there.....
