Uninstalling JRE but .msi is missing

Ok, now I got it:

1. Downloaded and started jre-8u101-windows-i586.exe
   
2. The Install failed in the second step with an error code, but as long as the installer is still open I could find a jre1.8.0_101.msi where the uninstall process searches for jre1.8.0_101full.msi (notice the difference in name)
   
3. Copied the file to a different directory and renamed it jre1.8.0_101full.msi
   
4. Closed the installer (directory and jre1.8.0_101.msi get deleted)
   
5. Started the uninstall process and changed the path to my new directory.
   

Thanks @Biswapriyo for your help!

 

Should I uninstall windows 10 to previous version?

Hi,

We understand the inconvenience caused and will assist you.

As you are facing issue with Movie Maker, I suggest you to follow the steps provided below and check if it helps.

• Press Windows Key, type Control Panel
  and select the same from the list.
• Under Programs, click Uninstall a Program.
• Locate Windows Live Essential then click
  Uninstall/Change.
• When a window appears, select Repair all Windows Live programs.
• Restart your computer after the repair.

Also, I would like to inform that you can go back to the previous Operating System and can use the same without any hassle. You will have 30 days of grace period from the date of upgrade to Windows 10 to go back to the previous operating System. If you have
crossed the 30 days of grace period, then you will have to re-install the previous Operating System which will be a fresh install.

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

 

Cannot uninstall MSI file drivers

Hi, I am trying to install printer drivers for a customer on Windows 10.

The problem is the previous drivers were deleted / removed (it looks like someone tried to do it manually). Now the old drivers still show up in Control Panel --> Uninstall a Program but when you try to uninstall them it says the MSI file is missing so
it cannot proceed with the uninstallation.

If I try to install the newer version, it says it cannot proceed as it can't find the uninstaller of the previous version. We actually have managed to find the installer files of the previous version (out of the box files that is). But not sure if these
will help us uninstall it or not.

I have tried CCleaner but it brings up the same installer pop-up of the missing MSI file. I then tried RevoUninstaller and get the same error, it did bring up hundreds of files from it's analysis after the failed uninstall, I had the option to delete them
but there was a lot of registries there and stuff so I was a little worried it may damage the install/uninstall permanently if I did so.

So I'm not sure what to do now, shall I try RevoUninstaller or does anyone have any suggestions?
