Uninstall Windows Desktop Search?

[Ji@nBing]

I can't seem to find an uninstaller anywhere? Anyone know how to uninstall this thing? Thanks :)

Try checking under add/remove programs and its Program Files folder.

Yeah, I looked in both places. Nothing.

No one knows? Surely someone else has installed this, decided they didn't need it, and tried to uninstall it.

Start | Run | "C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB911993-V2$\spuninst\spuninst.exe" ?

I just uninstalled it about 5 minutes ago with Add/Remove Programs...

Is the "Show updates" checkbox selected at the top of the Add or Remove Programs window? It might be listed as an update, or else you accidentally deleted the uninstall exe for the program.

Unless you deleted the uninstaller or related registry keys, it will show up in Add/Remove Programs. You shouldn't need to check "Show Updates" (although "Show Updates" has to be checked to see upgrades that have been applied to WDS - not my idea).

What version of WDS are you trying to uninstall?

[Ji@nBing]

Nope, still not in there. There's nothing in the programs folder either. I just tried re-installing it and still nothing. It's the newest version available on Microsoft's site here.

The only thing I can possibly think of is that I use Tune-Up utilities 2006 and perhaps it removed the registry keys? But if that were the case, wouldn't they show up again after I re-installed it?

Edit:

Here is what I have in my add/remove programs. I very well may be retarded and am missing it :p

Reinstall Windows Desktop Search it and then the uninstaller should appear on the Add/Remove list.
