A software de-installation (under WinXP) “hung” for 20 minutes, so I canceled it. The cancel hung for 15 minutes, so I killed that with Task Manager.
All further attempts to delete the software fail, with messages that this can’t be done because an installation is suspended. Certain files connected with the old software cannot be deleted - I get messages that they are in use.
Googling produces references to cases of suspended installation, but nothing useful to do. Any ideas?
