If this failed installation is recent, in the last few days, restoring a registry 
backup may eliminate the problem. If not, you'll probably need to manually uninstall 
it, by editing the registry and deleting any directories it created.

There are only 5 backups by default... to restore a backup, click Start/Shutdown, 
choose Restart in MS DOS mode, Or reboot and press the CTRL key, just before Windows 
loads, until you get the boot menu. Choose Command prompt only. 

At the C:\> type: scanreg /restore Press enter. A good backup will have the 
word "Started" before it. Choose a date prior to this problem. Then hit Enter. You 
should get a message that Windows successfully restored the registry. Then CTRL_ALT_DEL 
to get back into Windows.
