How to fully uninstall Video Studio 8SE

[coylum]

is there a reference list or instructions to completely remove Video Studio 8 from a PC. I am assuming that the normal uninstall will not remove all registry entries/files (?)

This is what I have done successfully:

1) Clean up C:\Windows\temp directory. Uninstall anything to do with VS 8. Clean up all files in C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Local Settings\Temp folder. Uninstall VideoStudio 8 from control panel Add/Remove programs.

2) Delete folder {4F1DA6BF-3614-48A1-9970-9E90F646789E} in C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information (Please set "Show hidden files and folders." in folder option in OS)

3) Delete the folder "Ulead VideoStudio 8.0" folder in C:\program files\ulead system

4) Run Regedit from Start/Run in Windows task bar

5) Delete folder {4F1DA6BF-3614-48A1-9970-9E90F646789E} in
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

6) While I have usually only done the latter step, I have once also had to do a full Regedit search and destroy for other Registry entries relating to VS -- and believe me, there are a lot!

Good luck!!

Thanks, Ken
It is as expected and I will follow your suggestions. I will also go through the tedious regedit steps to remove all Ulead refs. The reason I am doing this is because my daughter, who is a media student, needs more functionality than Ulead offers and we are about to install Adobe premiere pro and I don't want to find that there are "incompatibilities" after the event - better safe than sorry... thanks again

For what it's worth, I run VS 9, Premiere Pro 1.5 (and Premiere Elements), as well as Sony Vegas Video 6, all on the one machine with no apparent incompatibilities. But better safe than sorry, as you say! I might also add the comment that it is a relatively steep learning curve just moving from VS9 to Premiere Elements, and an enormous one to Premiere Pro. But I guess that is part of what being a media student is all about!!
