add remove programs window, windows setup is blank or empty
When I go to windows setup window in add/remove programs,
nothing is listed. It is blank. I beleive one of the windows updates may be the culprit, but I don't know which one or how to get the windows setup options back. Any ideas anyone? |

add remove programs window, windows setup is blank or empty
All Installed Programs May Not Be Displayed in the Add/Remove Programs
Tool http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=240348 I have fixed several of these recently for others. The problem will occur in these two situations: 1. The uninstall keyname for an application is greater than 63 characters. Solution: Rename the keyname. e.g. this is invalid [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\12345678901234567890123456789 01234567890123456789012345678901234] 2. The DisplayName for the key is greater than 63 characters. Solution: Shorten DisplayName e.g. this is invalid "DisplayName"="12345678901234567890123456789012345 67890123456789012345678901234" If you need a second opinion, export the key to a text file and email it to me. *** Note that the invalid entry that can cause this is not necessarily connected with the ones missing so you must check all entries. .....Alan - Alan Edwards MS MVP W95/98 Systems In microsoft.public.windowsme.setup, "Dennis" wrote: When I go to windows setup window in add/remove programs, nothing is listed.
