Uninstalling programs

Hi all

3rd question today (spring cleaning day, obviously).
I've got Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise edition installed that I no longer need. Tried to uninstall but can't find it in add/remove programs.
There's no uninstaller listed in the start menu either.

Anyone any ideas on how to remove this suite?

    Do you still have the disc? Trying installing it again may bring up an uninstall option (or overwriting the existing install may add the missing uninstaller). If all else fails you could simply delete the VS6 folder in program files and run ccleaner to clear the registry of it. (Remembering to back up and back up your registry, ccleaner asks you to do that anyway, and set a system restore). Probably worth backing up anyway if you're trying the SP3 install.

    Checked with the disc and no uninstall option.
    Will try deleting all the folders and see how I get on.
