    The red cross is normal, this is the normal icon of Uninstall.exe.

    Do you have the .lst file in the same folder as the .exe file? I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. Did you move some files around?

    You could uninstall it manually. Run WinRAR.exe, go in Options->Settings->Integration, untick everything, click OK, close WinRAR and delete the WinRAR folder.

    It will leave some registry keys behind, but it shouldn't matter.
