Hi Experts I had installed TheGreenBow IPSec VPN Client on my laptop, then I uninstalled by using a utility called Revo Uninstaller. Then I used a utility from TheGeenBow website to clean completely leftover as below Code: http://www.thegreenbow.com/vpn_faq.html But whenever I installed a fresh copy a message pops up : you have a previous version ,,,,etc Is there any other utility helps me to clean a leftover registry for an uninstalled program ?? Thanks
Why didn't you uninstall by the normal install/uninstall option in My Computer? Anyway... you could try CCleaner. It has a registry clean-up option that usually spots orphaned entries. It's free too!
just ran it in a vm real quick.. delete this key in regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TheGreenBow\ looks like it adds around 70 entries to the registry, but that should let you reinstall it
Yes I did delete that but still I am getting same error message, which is this one http://img709.imageshack.us/i/thegreenbowerrormeesage.jpg/
ah.. well here's all the registry entries it makes after an install and reboot- removed the deleted values but I can post those in the next message (too long).. this should help get rid of it Code:
