Thats really going to help when all the poster wants to do is un install one application :rolleyes:

Re: Error -5001 Wont uninstall .
 

sounds like there is some kind of dependancy on the object you are trying to remove. I would try reinstalling the game, then run the uninstall again. I get the feeling you might have as many issues reinstalling it though looking at your error. could be wrong though.

this could be related to a number of things, such as device drivers, drive virtualisation (such a daemon tools or alcohol) or .DLL (mis)registering. do you use onboard sound? or a virtual drive app?

alternatively, try removing the install folders and registry entries manually.
