    I'm completely out of harddrive space and need to get rid of some programs.


    I hate this and never use it!

    I thought I'd deleted it yesterday when I moved all the files directly from the "Program Files" folder into the recycling bin and trashed them.

    But apparently not because when I run my 'Add or Remove Programs' to free up space, I see this thing listed and taking up 51.16 MB!


    I tried to click on the remove tab and a popup came up that read:



    <SetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp (509)
    PAPP: Musicmatch Jukebox
    PVENDOR:Musicmatch (http://www.Musicmatch.com)
    PGUID:85D3CC30-8859-481A-9654-FD9B74310BEF
    $9.1.0.429
    @Windows XP Service Pack 1 (2600) BT_OTHER 0.64



    Followed by:



    Setup has experienced an error.

    Please do the following:

    - Close any running programs
    - Empty your temporary folder
    - Check your internet connection (Internet-ased Setups)

    Than try to run the Setup again.

    Error Code: -5001




    I've tried everything and nothing works!!

    I want to get this crap off my computer once and for all!!!

    Can somebody please help me to uninstall this stupid program?

    Also, could it be that since I tried to delete it directly from My Computer > Program Files yesterday, that I screwed something up and now it can't be deleted?


    Please help me!!!

    Also, on a side note -- If I have Windows Media 10 installed, is it safe to delete Windows Media 9 Hotfix which seems to be taking up 17.99 MB?

    Any time a program won't un-install, re-install it, and then remove it.

    Thanks for the help, it worked!
     
  5. Because of the intrincated Windows spaghetti code, to remove an application you need to run a control panel to recruit and (hopefully) remove all the archives diseminated by the installation. Your tecnique would work on a Macintosh, however, because there is no file disemination: all the files needed to run an application are contained within the application.

    This is also true of some applications that were ported over from Mac to PC, including versions of Photoshop and Dreamweaver.
