Windows Installer CleanUp Utility

How many times we might have experienced problems with Microsoft Windows Installer? It is really frustrating when there are programs listed under "Add/Remove Programs" but it throws errors when we try to remove it.

Sometime the program fails while installing and you end up with having partial installations. You try to reinstall but it fails to install or you might have issues issues to remove the old program.



To overcome this situation Microsoft has taken a step and has released an Utility to clean installations which uses Microsoft Windows Installer. This is very useful to remove corrupt versions of programs. Please note that it does not remove the installer files and you can run the installer again to install the program once it is cleaned.
