lol thats what ive been doing? lol?
all it USUALLY does for MOST of the programs I have is just make the add/remove menu a "shortcut" to the "unwise.exe" or "uninstaller" therefor its the same thing just easier to access.

Try reinstalling without uninstalling first. If that doesn't work, try deleting every trace of it and then reinstalling. You could also look at (or show us) a stack trace of the exception you're getting. With some luck it would be possible to connect the exception to some dll or ocx.

Sure, Feel like posting Vspkg.dll for me :D
also the exact error message when i try to uninstall is...

Setup Is Unable To Open Data File
C:\program files\microsoft visual studio\common\setup\1033\setup.stf

Run setup again from where you originally ran it

Setup Was Unable To Read Configuration Information from the first section of the setup file C:\program files\microsoft visual studio\common\setup\1033\setup.stf

=\~

After uninstalling, run RegClean twice.  This should clean up any broken COM references related to Visual Basic.  Also delete the Visual Studio and Visual Basic keys in HKLM/Software/Microsoft.
