Have you considered it using the Process Class? I think since most programs have an Install/Uninstall program you can use Process.Start() to execute these programs to do it and pass the parameters they take to completely uninstall! I know this sounds too easy but i am not experienced on programming but that is how i would do it at first and then enhance it! hope it helps!

I looked at your earlier post, and it looks about as efficient as it is going to get. As far as finding installer files, good luck with that, because the only way you will be able to do it is to search recursively through the file system. You could install windows components using the winocmgr command, but other than that you can't expect the OS to provide an *easy* way for you to find all install files that have yet to be run. As far as your other questions, I had no answers, which is why I didn't respond to that post either. At least if you are not going to follow the posting guidelines (by posting the same question twice), provide a link to the referenced thread. Jeff
