I was testing the install and uninstall, on my WindowsXP Pro SP2 machine, of
software that I created, called, "inbusiness". Because of the following error message that I received on attempting to uninstall the program through, "Add/Remove", I assume that I will have to find some other way to remove it. "An installation package for the product InBusiness for - Nonprofits cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package 'InBusine.msi'." The, "inBusine.msi" file does exit. However, because of the way the original installed was handled, I think, it's not being recognized as valid. Is there any back door routines, procedures, methods that I can use to get it removed from my, "Add/Remove"? I tried using: "msiexec /uninstall inBusine.msi", and got the same error message. Is there a "white paper" that will help me with my problem in the registry keys? Are there other issues, procedures, instructions, etc. that I should be aware of regarding using the registry keys in dealing with my uninstall problem? I've located 2 areas in the Registry, SourceList: "Inbusine.msi" next to PackageName and under Products: "InBusiness for - Nonprofits" next to ProductName. Woule eliminating one or both these references solve my problem? Are there other areas of the Registry were I should be looking to delete any references to my software? John |
