Re: Missing Uninstall button in Window Vista
Problem appears to be still unfixed, and I display fine as an admin.
At least five suggested strings like "Uninstall button vista missing"
start showing up off the search box in the knowledge base - but no
relevant articles, you'd think they'd at least put in a "we're working
on it" placeholder page after all these months, XP downgrade would seem
tempting if Mac weren't more so, of course you don't get a CD/DVD to
reinstall your own OS any more because it's so perfect you'll never need
one (sorry, got a lot of history, don't get me started). The one KB
uninstall workaround I saw said "but don't use this for Office 07", the
preinstalled trial version of which is what I'm trying to get rid of,
along with the other manufacturer's crapware, which is elusive even
after a few successful deletes last year sometime.
Like others, I used to be able to uninstall apps and now can't, sorry
can't pin down as-of date or event. Click the app to remove: no
uninstall button appears anywhere. No File menu pulldown uninstall
options, or on others. Right click app name produces nothing. Changing
views does nothing. Resizing frames (in case something's hidden) does
nothing. Doubleclicking the app name does nothing. Delete button on
the app name does nothing. Problem holds for any app now, SP1 didn't
help it any of course and got lots of MUI's like the previous poster.
I'm not comfortable digging around in registry keys, but I shouldn't
have to, they should be able to address this one - especially after all
this long.
