Hmmmmm, I believe if you were to delete all of the installed files manually that should uninstall it.

Yes, most programs install in "Program files" Why don't you just delete the files from there?

Oh, I see now. Sorry.
The .exe must be kept somewhere else. It should be uninstalled however. The thing is when you click add/remove since you already removed it, it...well adds/installs it again.

then he has uninstalled it well, the only thing left for him is to clean the registry so he can install it again with no problems... if he has done all that then i dont see the problem.

To remove the entry from the add/remove window, go here:
HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall in the registry (open Start, click Run, type "regedit" without quotes in the 'open:' box, and click Ok).
Search for the key (folder) {9F6AE5B6-B2ED-4157-8D28-1EC354F0D1B9} and delete it.
This 'should' remove the stranglehold entry from add/remove (if you just deleted all the folders in C:\etcetcetc).
