Next time you encounter a failed install, remember Revo. It is the only freeware product I know of that will make a decent job of cleaning up a failed install. The freeware utility ZSoft Uninstaller is a better choice for this. Revo can also act as a before-and-after uninstaller, but frankly this is not its forte.
There were still some files remaining, notably files stored in the user/local settings folder, but they did no harm other than taking up disk space, and they certainly would not interfere with the normal operation of the PC. Revo did a fine job, though not quite as well as an able user would do manually. I ran some tests by getting Revo to uninstall a product whose installation I had monitored using ZSoft Uninstaller to see that all files are accounted for during the uninstallation.
However, it is possible that a few registry entries and files can sometimes be left over after the process is finished. Only if the search fails will it try to remove files and registry entries itself. When you ask Revo to uninstall a program, it first looks for the product’s uninstall program and will run that program if it is found. It removes all the program’s files, auto start entries and all noticeable registry entries. It works by scanning a hard drive and registry for files that would otherwise be left behind. It can uninstall a program without the need to monitor its installation. My choice is Revo Uninstaller, an uninstaller that works more uniquely than others. Need to tell the program to monitor an installation before you do the install. What if that didn’t work? Some people have reported success with the Windows Install and Uninstall troubleshooter.Monitors before-and-after installation to remove files and registry entries. Note that the uninstall tool does not remove any 3rd party add-ins. See this articlefor help with a new installation. This needs to be done BEFORE running a new installation. If you are trying to recover a failed installation, try deleting the contents of your TEMP folder (usually “C:\TEMP”) AFTER running the uninstall tool. That’s it, you’ve successfully removed your old software. The tool will show a progress bar at the bottom, as well as the current program being removed. Once the tool launches, choose the products that you wish to remove and then click “Uninstall”.
