Can't Add/Remove Programs

[SnapperOne 0]

I have 4 files(?) listed in the Add/Remove Programs window, all with the same name: Setup.exe custom database. I have been unable to find any of them on my hard drive or remove them from Add/Remove Programs.

 

When I try to envoke the Add/Remove command a pop-up window appears saying:

error: couldn't open SDB

c:\WINNT\AppPatch\Custom\{eec0090-6442-4de5-8092- 3818964749ca}.sdb

 

As I attempt to remove each of the files listed as Setup.exe custom database, the error message remains the same, except the values between the { and } are different.

 

I have attempted using RegCleaner. While it lists one "setup.exe custom database" listing, when I attempt to remove it the file simply reappears.

 

Any ideas?

SnapperOne,

 

The "Add/Remove Programs" are listed in the following registry key for NT/W2K/XP:

 

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
