    I have tried both ways of trying to uninstall and neither is working for me and I will explain why: there was never an addition to Add/remove programs after show updates was checked that showed the update and the uninstall folder never appeared in the windows directory. I am trying to uninstall beta 1 to install beta 2 and im drowning here. I am not a n00b, i have all files and folders visible, The entries are just not there. Please advise, someone. Thanks you

    Same problem…can anyone help?

    It’s not showing up in the add/remove programs list and the $NtUninstallie7bet2p$ folder is not present in my Windows directory (hidden files are all shown)

    I’ve seen this happen in situations where you may have run a program such as CCleaner. CCleaner has an option that will delete all $NTUninstall folders. If the folder is deleted, Windows XP does not have a way to roll back the installation of the particular KB or program.

    I had the same problem. C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallie7beta2$\spuninst\spuninst.exe
    didn’t exist on my computer anymore either. So what I did was I installed the exact
    same version I had installed on this computer onto another computer.

    From this other computer I copied hidden file: $NtUninstallie7beta2$ and placed
    it in C:\WINDOWS of the computer on which it was lost.
    Then I ran command: %windir%\$NtUninstallie7beta2$\spuninst\spuninst.exe
    and my problem was solved and IE 7 beta2 was removed:-)

    This whole this is not cracked up to what it’s claimed to be, my advice stay out of it completely until they get a simpler version, I have lost so many of my dependable tools on the bar it’s like having to study it out all over again as if I were just starting,
    My opionion is – it stinks and more bother than it’s worth.
