Hi there and welcome to TSF.
You could try using the Windows Installer Clean Up utility. Check in C:\program files to see if you have this. If not it can be downloaded from here. Once downloaded and installed, go to C:\program files\windows installer clean up. There you will find a file msicuu.exe. Run this and see if your program is listed in the box. If so, select it and click on remove. If that doesn't work, post back.

I have the same problem and the windows clean up utility did not have the program listed.
