The Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility has been retired:

While the Windows Installer Cleanup utility resolved some installation problems, it sometimes damaged other components installed on the computer. Because of this, the tool has been removed from the Microsoft Download Center. There is currently not a replacement tool that addresses issues with the bulk of applications installed using the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility; however there have been automated solutions and manual solutions that help to uninstall some of these applications. The following list offers currently available KB articles that do contain these automated and manual solutions:

 

Important Update:

 

An automated troubleshooter is available that can diagnoses problems that can prevent installing and uninstalling programs on your Windows-based computer. This troubleshooter can help with programs that do not uninstall correctly and with issues where programs may be blocking the installations of other programs. To run the troubleshooter, click Run Now on the following website:

 

Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter

 

Note: The Windows Installer Cleanup utility (MSICUU2.exe) that was previously referred to in this article has been retired. The Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter is a replacement for that utility.
