Question

Why cant I uninstall QuickBooks 2005?  its not available in my 'Add/Remove Programs' menu

Answer

This issue can arise when a trial version has not been removed before installing a full product or when the following conditions are met:
Note -  **The QuickBooks trial version must always be removed before installing a full version**

1. The QuickBooks 2005 trial has been installed over the top of QuickBooks Pro 2004
2. QuickBooks Pro 2005 is then installed over the trial version of QuickBooks 2005
3. Then QuickBooks Pro 2004 is uninstalled
After which QuickBooks Pro 2005 is no longer available in 'Add / Remove Programs'

Workaround:
 i. Install QuickBooks (again) into the existing/working directory
ii. Then Uninstall it again using 'Add / Remove Programs' in 'Control Panel'

How did we do?
