Autocad 2011- Clean uninstall.

[ReMark]

The purpose of creating a Restore Point is specific to the Registry no matter what drive the program is installed on. Not too many users know how to do a separate back up of the Registry so I'll give you points for that.

Well I do hope your system continues to function without any further problems. Thanks for sharing the info with us.

I've tried all the above but it still doesn't work for Autocad 2011. I've even checked the Registry Uninstall setting.
When I try to reinstall is says that Autocad 2011 English is already installed.
If I change the language to French it will let me install. Pity I don't speak french.

There has to be an entry there somewhere.

Give a program called Revo Uninstaller a try. There's a free version that normally does a good job at removing all traces of a program off your computer.

Using Revo Uninstaller made no difference.

What version of Windows are you running?

Running Windows XP

XP huh? Don't see why it wouldn't work. You might try the old standby Regclean from those fine folks at Microsoft. Create a Restore Point beforehand. Note too that Regclean creates a backup of your Registry that you can reload if you don't like the results it gives you.

Just wanted to thank you Paul... Your old thread and that utility worked for Win 7 64bit 2011 Install issue...

Problem started with 2011 install and another survey software on top of that... some arx files and some other bad errors and botched uninstall left it saying Autocad 2011 was still installed...

Ran ccleaner to clean up the registry as well as 2011 removal vbs scripts and nothing worked... all sorts of things were left in the registry saying that 2011 was still present but it wasn't... and most definitely not in the Uninstall Programs List...

Installed MSI Cleanup Utility - and it was in the list both 2011 and the language pack...

Removed both via the tool - Rebooted and the new install went perfectly...

Again... a year later and that advice was perfect.

Your Solution msicuu2 worked perfectly... Thanks a lot

I was having this same problem with Revit 2011 (X64 on Win 7). I thought that program might do the trick, but it didn't. Thankfully, this one did for me - http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Pr..._and_Uninstall

Hope this helps someone else, too.
