    well,
    sometime in the past something happened and had to uninstall the cs3 suite , and to my horror i found so many scraps in my "add and remove" options. attaching "image 01" for that.

    well, managed to get photoshop CS3 installed,somehow. but now when i need other products i followed the white rabbit through out via google, tried some CS3 cleaner and all,but none helped.

    i dont want to reinstall my windows for that,which seems like the only option for me right now.

    could someone please help me..?

    holy crap

    ccleaner has a tool for removing items from your add/remove list without removing the program.

    Interesting, I'd be curious to see your uninstall registry key

    OPEN REGEDIT. go to

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

    Right click the UNINSTALL folder. choose EXPORT

    zip that up and attach it.
