Resolution

To remove the adapter manually follow the steps below:

  1. Install ?Msizap? available as part of Microsoft SDK?s:

               http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=c17ba869-9671-4330-a63e-1fd44e0e2505

  2. Copy the ?MsiZap.exe? file to the local hard drive.
  3. Execute the following in a CMD:

    > msizap TW {25FF1128-9ECD-4d9b-8E85-E1A8FBAF3E25} (i.e. msizap TW {PRODUCT CODE})

  4. This removes Remedy references from the Windows installer making possible to install again.  It will also remove entries from add/remove programs.
  5. Manually remove files and registry entries that are listed below:
