Answer

You should be able to uninstall from the “Add/Remove Programs”, or “Programs and Features”, depending on your OS. If that fails, you can use this procedure provided by forum contributor Aiscer.

1.    Download theMSE installer file from the website and save the file on the Desktop. This will allow you to find it easily after the download is done.

2.    Now press theWindows key (or Start key) andR both at the same time. This will open the RUN dialog box.

3.    Next, delete/clear any entries insideRUN, then drag the MSE installerfile into the RUN dialog box.

4.    Depending on your Operating System, after dragging the file intoRUN, it should appear as one of the three below:

·        C:\Documents and Settings\[YOUR USERNAME]\Desktop\mssefullinstall-x86fre-en-us-xp.exe

·        C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\Desktop\mssefullinstall-x86fre-en-us-vista-win7.exe

·        C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\Desktop\mssefullinstall-amd64fre-en-us-vista-win7.exe

5.    Now put aSPACE at the end of the line, followed by a /U  as seen below:

·        C:\Documents and Settings\[YOUR USERNAME]\Desktop\mssefullinstall-x86fre-en-us-xp.exe /U

·        C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\Desktop\mssefullinstall-x86fre-en-us-vista-win7.exe /U

·        C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\Desktop\mssefullinstall-amd64fre-en-us-vista-win7.exe /U

6.    ClickOK.

7.    Restart your system after the uninstall.
