How can I force this to uninstall without the MSI? The MSI is not on the website and I tried extracting the MSI... even installing with the EXE gives the exact same error below:

@mark I tried, I was getting some source files, not any MSI. – Ahmed – 2015-08-16T15:08:14.900

Can you install the driver again, then uninstall? – Moab – 2015-08-16T17:52:27.397

@moab I tried that using the EXE and it asks for the MSI – Ahmed – 2015-08-16T17:53:31.153

Error shows that uninstaller was unable to find FLUSBVGAx64.msi in the computer & you could not find the .msi in website.

If you cannot find FLUSBVGAx64.msi in computer then you must look for other ways to uninstall the software.

You cannot force a non existent .msi to uninstall a software

Try one of these :

  1. Microsoft Install/Uninstall Fixit
  2. Revo Uninstaller

Sorry i forgot to mention i am on windows 10. Isnt there a way to clean up registry And driver? Maybe revo? – Ahmed – 2015-08-16T19:36:24.153

1If I am not using Microsoft fixit for some reason i do the manual job of removing the entries from Windows installer, then remove file associations if any, remove registry entries and then files from disk. if that sounds a lot to you, check if Revo uninstaller or iObit uninstaller works with Windows 10 – pun – 2015-08-16T19:43:32.780

1Revo works. So remove all the registry entries via Revo uninstaller? And then try to install? – Ahmed – 2015-08-16T21:00:06.667

1Yes. But revo also tries to call the built in uninstaller first and then you may get the sam error. you can ignore it and proceed with the removal of registry entries and then files from computer. Re-install after this should work fine. – pun – 2015-08-16T21:03:23.853

2Ah geez, I had done the Basic Revo uninstall instead of the Advanced... anyway, I gathered the rage to do the Advanced uninstall and install and external display works now! Thank you for your guidance. – Ahmed – 2015-08-16T21:13:08.060

2A forced uninstall via Revo and then a registry clean via CCleaner for good lucked worked for me. – Matthew Lock – 2016-06-16T06:30:01.080
