On Friday, June 25, 2010, I pleasantly used this handy tool to fully uninstall a failed Adobe Reader 9.3.2 installation. To my surprise and great disappointment, the Windows Installer Cleanup utility (MSICUU2.exe) was discontinued over the weekend and is no longer available.

“Notice: This article previously contained a link to the Windows Installer Cleanup utility (MSICUU2.exe). If you were directed to this article to solve a problem installing a product other than Microsoft Office, please contact your software manufacturer for installation support on the product.”
Naturally, many third-party software manufacturers relied on the Windows Installer Cleanup utility to clean up their own mess. I sure wish I retained a copy of MSICUU2.exe, for it would come in handy today and likely many more times in the future.
Jason Hamilton of 404 Tech Support has a copy of the Windows Installer Cleanup utility (MSICUU2.exe) and is kind enough to offer it for download. Visit his “Microsoft No Longer Supports Windows Installer Cleanup Utility” article and you will find a download link with MD5 checksum. Thanks Jason.
I went to your article, and downloaded msicuu2. I used it and it worked. Thank you so much.
