Help with uninstalling Intel Audio Studio

[beeswax]

We have 30 machines which have a slightly different hardware setup to those in the rest of our suites and I'm trying an experiment whereby I've ghosted an image onto one of these 30 machines and tried to uninstall Intel Audio Studio 2.0 so that I could add the correct drivers and then create a new image for these machines. When I go to Control Panel, I can see the drivers there, but highlighting them doesn't bring up a Change/Remove button. Help would be appreciated.

Go into the regedit and browse to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

 

Find the installer, which may be named as its GUID for the package. Look for a REG_DWORD called "NoRemove" and change it from a 1 to a 0.

That will enable you to remove

 

NOTE: this is generic instructions for MSI restrictions and may not fully apply to the intel stuff depending on how they did it but I would check there.

I'll give a try in the morning

brute force uninstaller ( BFU ) at the bottom of the page :

Or ccleaner :

thanks Gecko, I've tried the Windows uninstaller utility but it didn't work, though I haven't looked at the BFU

Feedback on this - CCleaner did the job. Thanks again.

start => run (or windows + r) then :

RunDll32 C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Professional\RunTime\10\50\Intel32\Ctor.dll,LaunchSetup "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{2205E3A5-DCDC-461D-8ED6-D6F2341D3B64}\setup.exe" -l0x40c

 

and voilà...

Go to the run line and type regedit. Go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{2205E3A5-DCDC-461D-8ED6-D6F2341D3B64}

On the key that says NoRemove change the 1 to a zero.

Then you can go to Add/Remove programs and uninstall it.

This was very helpful. Bought ccleaner and it did the uninstall. For next person, use tools menu option, uninstall, intel audio studio.
