I miss you, MSICUU2 - "What happened to the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (MSICUU2.EXE)?" (hint: Replaced by "Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter")

Posted on 16:59 by Unknown

What happened to the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (MSICUU2.EXE)

The Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (MSICUU2.exe) is replaced by the Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter

(http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall)

which works better. If you cannot install (setup) or uninstall a program, try this troubleshooter.

Start the Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter

If you have problems when you try to uninstall Microsoft Office, we recommend that you first use the relevant Microsoft Fix It that is included the following articles:

  • How to uninstall or remove Microsoft Office 2013 or Office 365
  • How to uninstall or remove Microsoft Office 2010 suites
  • How to uninstall or remove Microsoft Office 2007 suites
  • How to uninstall or remove Microsoft Office 2003 suites

If you have problems when you try to uninstall Microsoft Security Essentials, see the following articles:

  • How to manually uninstall Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0.1963
  • How to manually uninstall Microsoft Security Essentials 1.0.1963

I kind of miss the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (MSICUU2.exe). It was simple, easy and just got the job done. Sure if used wrong, it could hose your install database, but still, every time I needed it, I really needed it (and it just got the job done). And while I like most of the "Troubleshooters", I still miss you MSICUU2.exe...
