Not worried about cleaning out the registry that is a minor problem. What interest me is how the application (creative sound blaster live audio HQ) ended up being deleted form the add/remove list.
Understand that the application can be removed by deletion and registry modification but what I was looking at was using the windows uninstall progam (IsUninst.exe) and the application uninstall ini file (shown below). Is there a way of manipulating these two files to run an uninstall as if you had clicked the uninstall icon
