I am trying to install a newer version of Lego Mindstorm, and it's trying to uninstall the older version and it fails. I tried to uninstall it manually and noticed it's not listed Under "Programs and Features" in Windows 10. The program launches fine. I am unable to find the original installer to install it again and get the uninstaller back.
I have Revo Uninstaller, but it shows programs only if they appear in Windows Program applet.
I renamed the folder, but the installer still finds the older version, so I am guessing it's reading the registry. Apart from me trying to find that registry key and renaming it, how can I forcibly uninstall it?
I don't see any way other than fiddling with the registry. If you are not comfortable with that then simply delete the folder and run some registry fixing tool such as "Registry First Aid" – Rohit Gupta – 2016-01-18T00:21:17.117
Have you tried to just delete the program directory and install the current version? – Ramhound – 2016-01-18T00:33:14.733
@Rohit I can do the registry thing by using SysInternal's ProcessMonitor to know which key is being read. Looking for a cleaner solution – Tony_Henrich – 2016-01-18T00:51:45.880
@Ramhound I mentioned I renamed the folder. It has the same effect of the installer not finding the folder. – Tony_Henrich – 2016-01-18T00:52:24.630
