in reply to Uninstall of strawberry-plus-padre-0.63.msi fails - How can I uninstall it?
but I do not know where to ask for assistance
one often overlooked place is the source of the software :)
since its an MSI installer , I would also look for help at microsoft. The possibilities seem to be
- more information might be available in event viewer (eventvwr.EXE)
- bad hardware/ram module (run memtest...)
- missing service not running
- insufficient permission (allow to interact with desktop)
- bug is resolved by some hotfix/windows update
- there is interfering malware/spyware (run hijackthis/spybot/adaware....)
so to manually uninstall
- find and delete your strawberry perl directory ( rm -rf strawberry )
This should be enough to allow for reinstall
- you might need to fire up add/remove programs (and some cleanup tool whose name i can't recall) to remove strawberry perl program entry
- fire up regedit and search for and remove references to strawberry (path/pathext/assoc ..)
- maybe cleanout "%userprofile%\local settings\application data\perl..."
