This problem is caused by applications that use a very old version Wise Installer. Surprisingly, I’ve seen many programs today that still use it.

When you try to uninstall a program that uses this installer, you get an error windows that says Could not Open Install.Log File and the program is not uninstalled.

To uninstall it, just follow this simple steps:

1. Locate the folder where the program is installed. Normally, this would be C:\Program Files.
2. Inside the folder, cut the file install.log and paste it elsewhere, like your Desktop or a folder.
3. Now run the file uninstall.exe or unwise.exe and it will ask you to manually locate this install.log file.
4. Locate it and the installation will run without any problems.

If you use a non-English version of Windows Vista or Windows 7 and see that your Program Files folder is now displayed in English instead of your language, open a command prompt and run this command: attrib +r “%ProgramFiles%” and reboot your computer.

I’ve seen this happen in Windows Vista Spanish installations.

Previously, it was developed and released at Guru 3D.

The new author, Phyxion, changed the whole interface again. I liked the one in 1.5.5, but there is nothing I can do about it .

I use it everytime i want to install new drivers from Realtek, Nvidia, ATI or Creative. This way i narrow the chances of having issues with new drivers because of leftover files from previous versions.

All you have to do is reboot your computer after uninstalling drivers. Then, run Driver Sweeper and select which drivers you want to clean up and reboot again. Now you can install new versions of the drivers.
