[FIX] Cannot Uninstall a Program or Cannot Install New Programs in Windows
Many times Windows users face this annoying problem. They can’t uninstall an existing program completely. When they try to uninstall/remove an existing software program using Control Panel -> Programs and Features page, either they get error message or the program’s files remain on hard disk even after a successful uninstallation.
Also sometimes they get problems while installing a new software. Windows blocks the installation and they are unable to complete the setup process.

To fix all these problems, Microsoft has released a new Fixit.
This new Fixit automatically diagnoses problems that can prevent installing and uninstalling programs on your computer. Assists with programs that will not uninstall correctly and programs blocking installation of new program installations.
What it fixes:
- Removes bad registry key on 64 bit operating systems.
- Windows registry keys that control the upgrade (patching) data that become corrupted.
- Resolves problems that prevent new programs from being installed.
- Resolves problems that prevent programs from being completely uninstalled and blocking new installations and updates.
- Use this troubleshooter for an uninstall only if the program fails to uninstall using the windows add/remove programs feature.
You can download the Fixit using following link:
