I made the terrible mistake of installing IE8 beta v2 because an app required IE to run... now it wont uninstall.

It's already shady enough to put the uninstaller in "updates" rather than programs but even worse, the uninstaller does NOT uninstall IE8... In fact, once you restart, it repatches what couple files it deleted.

I've searched high and low on the net and have only came across one command line which did not work. I tried "REVO UNINSTALLER" which didn't even find IE so I did the drag and drop method which then gave me an error.


No Installation Package Found!
Tip: Get more information for the application from the main windows and
try to uninstall it manually!
C:\program files\internet explorer\iexplorer.exe

This is absolutely ridiculous and must be in some what illegal or at the very least in a gray area. One person mentioned there was an uninstall tool provided by M$ but I don't have the patience to talk to their idiotic support right now.

Dude.. sometimes responses take a while. Please don't bump after only a half an hour.

Sorry, I wanted it gone as soon as possible. I reformatted instead.

This thread should probably be retitled and moved for future reference. It seems to be a popular issue among the net.
