Re: Re: I can’t open add/remove programs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ran into the same problem, and none of the recommended solutions worked. Finally I found the answer.
This is taken from MS Knowledge Base Article Q266668 which can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q266668/
I did not bother with steps 1-4 (checking registry entries).
The following command fixed it:
Follow the steps in one of the following procedures, as it applies to your computer, and then test to determine if this issue is resolved.
If the issue is resolved, skip the remaining steps.
If the issue is not resolved, go to step 5.
To resolve this issue with Internet Explorer 6.0 installed, repair Internet Explorer 6.0:
a. Click Start, and then click Run.
b. Paste the following command in the Open box, and then click OK:
rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance “C:Program FilesInternet ExplorerSetupSETUP.EXE” /g “C:WINDOWSIE Uninstall Log.Txt
Because this command is case sensitive, Microsoft recommends that you copy the command from this article, and then paste the command in the Open box.
