I have a trial version of Quickbooks Premier installed on my computer. I
bought Quickbooks Pro and now am trying to uninstall Premier. The problem is
using Add/Remove Programs, it keeps trying to open the setup wizard which
won't open (says it was incomplete). I just want to remove the program. Is
there a way to bypass add/remove programs and do it manually? I've already
searched for an uninstall file in the appropriate directory but couldn't find
one. I also tried creating a batch file running install -u or setup -u but
could get either to work.
Thanks in advance!

Sometimes you can just reinstall the original program to the same dir/folder
or do a repair, then use add remove programs to uninstall it properly..
You'll need your original programs setup disk..?

You can use Microsoft Clean Up utility to uninstall the product. You
can download it from microsoft.com.

Get the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, if needed, see link above..

Contact Intuit / Quickbooks Pro for their utility to remove the program.
Using the Windows Installer Clean Utility won't remove the program. It will
deal with windows installer issues related to that program but the files and
registry settings will still be there, so you should first try to uninstall
it by contacting Intuit.
