Description:
I wanted to install "mysql connector net 6.3.6" but first I need to uninstall first my previous version of "mysql connector 5.1.7" which is failed to install. 

How to repeat:
Suddenly I can't uninstall it!! damn! It keeps failing/fatal error when uninstalling, I'd tried also "Perfect Uninstaller" and delete all registry.. but still didn't work!

Suggested fix:
Help me.. how to uninstall this mysql connector so I can install another version. I have things to work ASAP so please anyone?

Hi Rommer and thanks for your report.

Can you please try googling for a pair of MS utilities named msiinv and msizap.  msiinv will list all the products that think they are installed.  msizap will kill a product given its product code.

Please inform us of result.

Thank you! the problem has been solved. msicuu works.

Good!
