thx for your answer

I got the solution from the support, so i put it here if anyone else needs it

Hi,

Here is some information we have posted on our web site about uninstalling the program.

Thanks,

Before uninstalling, be sure to close Macro Express. Normally, to uninstall Macro Express, open the Control Panel, click on Add/Remove programs, highlight Macro Express and click the Remove button. You should also be able to click Start | Programs | Macro Express | Uninstall Macro Express.

If you are running Windows XP, 2000 or NT, installing and uninstalling Macro Express should be done when logged in as an administrator.

Occasionally, however, these steps do not work. When that happens, try one of these possible solutions:

1. Reinstall Macro Express and then uninstall it using one of the two methods mentioned above.

2. In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder where Macro Express is installed and double-click on unwise.exe.

3. In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder where Macro Express is installed and drag the file install.log on top of the file unwise.exe.

4. Using Windows Explorer, browse to the folder where Macro Express is installed and copy unwise.exe and install.log to the root (or top level folder) of C:\ and then double-click on the file unwise.exe.

5. If all of these methods fail, you can delete all of the files in the folder c:\Program Files\Macro Express3 and, using RegEdit, delete the registry entries in
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Insight Software Solutions\Macro Express
and
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Insight Software Solutions\Macro Express

Depending on which version of Windows you are using, this method may leave the uninstall Macro Express option in the Control Panel under Add/Remove Programs. You may need to remove this entry using RegEdit. Look at the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Uninstall. Remove the subkey named Macro Express 3.

Note: Changing the registry is dangerous if you are not careful. Incorrect changes to the registry can cause various problems with Windows. It may even cause your PC to no longer start up. If you are not comfortable checking and changing the registry, you should ask someone familiar with the registry for assistance. Proceed with caution!

    • Sounds like a good time to do a fresh install of Windows. WTF people...
    • It only includes Russia. All other territories come at an additional cost of $20/pm/per territory you want to use it in.
    • From cars to cosmos: Honda's experimental rocket aces first landing test by Paul Hill Image via Honda Watch your back SpaceX, the Japanese company Honda has just performed a successful first launch of its experimental reusable rocket. The 6.3 meter rocket, which weighs 900kg, reached a modest altitude of 271.4 meters, but managed to land within 37cm of its target (1.2 feet), which is certainly pretty close. The rocket took off from a Honda facility in Taiki Town, Hokkaido, a growing space town in Japan. The flight time was also modest, coming in at just 56.6 seconds, but in that time, Honda was able to demonstrate key reusability technologies such as flight stability and landing capability. This marks a significant milestone for Honda’s space R&D department, which began work just four years ago. If you remember the tests SpaceX was performing around 2012 with Grasshopper, well Honda is at about the same stage with its reusable rocket. Why Honda is building rockets: Beyond cars and motorcycles Honda said that it wants to leverage core technologies it already works on for offering space services. It said that reusable rockets are a key part of sustainable space transportation. By 2029, the company wants to be able to perform suborbital launches, and while commercialization hasn’t been decided yet, it sees itself launching remote-sensing and wide-area communication satellites in the future. The Japanese car maker sees growing demand for satellite launches and wants to be involved by developing reusable rockets which could help it perform such launches economically. If it does end up finding customers, it will add more competition to the rocket launch sector. While the company hasn’t confirmed this, by developing its own launch system, it could eventually be in a position to launch its own satellites that could provide services to its cars to add value for customers. The competitive landscape and Japan's space ambitions Honda is just the latest company to join the growing list of companies trying to develop reusable rocket technology. The most famous companies doing this are SpaceX and Blue Origin, but there are also lots of other companies around the world also developing this technology. Honda is still taking baby steps compared to SpaceX, but it shows that the company is taking a focused, step-by-step approach, and achieving successes as noted by this launch. Hopefully, the company ends up providing tough competition against SpaceX, Blue Origin, and other companies so that it can help to drive down prices and spur on innovation.
    • Does that subscription include international data roaming, inclusive of Russia?
    • If you're stupid enough to try and get one, each and every headache along the way is on you. I can only hope that these roadblocks on a pre-order are enough to dissuade people.
