I would like to completely remove all traces of IMatch and reinstall latest version from scratch. (I want to do this because an installation dialog comes up sporadically on IMatch start up, as discussed in other threads)

However, I cannot uninstall IMatch because it does not appear in the Add or Remove Programs dialog.

I am running XP with service pack 3.

This problem appears to be very similar to "Problem with zombie version of IMatch" (see this thread ); and I tried to follow that thread's advice to use Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, but unfortunately MS has withdrawn this utility. ( see MS page )

I have tried reinstalling IMatch 3.6.0.80, and after this IMatch is in the Add or Remove Programs dialog. However, when uninstall is requested from the Add Remove dialog, it appears to work, but IMatch 3.6.0.80 can still be subsequently executed (?).

I would prefer not to have to reinstall OS, as end of Zombie thread suggested. I do not mind deleting IMatch by hand, but advice would be appreciated.

IMatch is installed using the standard Windows Installer services, which are a part of Windows itself. I have no idea why IMatch does not show up in your Add/Remove programs list, because this is a standard function of Windows installer.

Since installing IMatch removes previous installations, you can just install the latest version. There is no disadvantage in having an old version installed. All IMatch 3.6 version share the same set of files etc.

You are right, it is rather strange.

Anyway just to make sure, I explicitly deleted the old photool folders, files and references, before installing 3.6.0.94.

Installation was okay and it is working fine so far.

Thanks
