Where to get the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility?

Sometimes, when you try to uninstall a program from your system, you notice that it won't uninstall. Or, the application might uninstall, but still leave an entry to the depths of the system registry, and thus lingers on the list of installed applications forever.

Luckily, Microsoft has developed an utility called the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility to cover such situations. By downloading the packet msicuu2.exe and installing it, you get a nice little tool for forcibly removing unnecessary items from the Windows Installer database.

The standard disclaimer of course applies: just like with RegEdit, be careful with msicuu.exe! A wrong click, and trouble could result. After you understand the implications, it's a nifty little app worth checking out.
