Can't remove a program in the add/remove

Im trying to remove these two programs: Creative Mediasource and Empire Earth, but I keep getting this error....

" An installation support file could not be installed.
The system cannot find the file specified. "

By the way, it doesn't tell you which file.

I was thinking maybe I did something wrong with the registry.

Please, I need help.

Thanks guys.

It would probably be the Uninstall file for that program. You could try to re-install and then uninstall it, or manually remove all reference to it including it's programs folder.

add-remove

I had the same problem with Norton Systems Works. I wanted to remove it to load a new version (for anti virus). Would not let me. In order to remove the thing, I had to reinstall. I was then able to remove the program and add my updated version.

Question Could you please tell me the solution?

Hello.
Have you got a solution for this? What is the solution?
I have the same problem with my Linksys Wireless-G.

Please let me know your solution.

Thanks a lot.
