Give this a try:

Backup the entire registry using ERUNT utility (Google for the exact URL)

Open Regedit.exe and navigate to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\App
Management]

Delete the "ARPCache" sub-key above.

Then, open Add/Remove Programs again.

Third-party solution:

MyUninstaller: Alternative to the standard Windows Add/Remove module:
