:::::The Quixotic Potato: Nope, it doesn't work. Any idea what else would/could? -- Apostle (talk) 20:32, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

::::::The list you see is stored in the registry. You can remove them from the list manually [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18109387/removing-bad-installs-from-add-remove-programs]. The only software you will need is regedit.exe, which is already installed on your computer. Remember to make a backup. The Quixotic Potato (talk) 21:37, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

:::::::Okay thanks. I've to do this some other time... -- Apostle (talk) 18:43, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
