how about installing the latest version, then uninstall..
if the installer log file is missing, then the only option is to do it manually, remove the program files directory, then remove the registry entries, then remove all the other files installed, but without the log of installation changes, the last step is difficult.Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:0 -

Yes sometimes reinstall will fix it as the uninstall program/script can get corrupted over time.0
