Manually remove a program from Program and Features

[tomkonec]

I have an orphaned entry in Vista Program and Features (i.e. like Add/Remove Programs) and would like to get rid of it. It will not uninstall as the original MSI file is no longer available.

I have tried looking for the entry in the registry however cannot find it. It is not in the same place as I would look in Win XP.

Please advise, Thanks

Have you tried re-installing first, the re-removing?

Yes I have tried to reinstall the same version however I get the same problem as when I try to install a later version of the program. I think I just need to get rid of it from the registry somehow however cannot find where. Tried Registry Mechanic however it does not remove it

So you just don't want to see it in the Add/Remove list?

If so, carefully delete the appropriate registry key at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
