Re: 5.1.2.5 uninstall running forever...

I was uninstalling from Add/Remove programs, not from the Install.

I ran out of time yesterday and cancelled out (clicked the X in the corner, and 
answered 'Yes' to the dialog about cancelling).  The product was gone from 
Add/Remove programs this morning, but I spent about half an hour manually 
removing directories and registry keys that it missed.  Finally got the install 
running, which is proceding at a normal rate (by the standards of this machine, 
anyway), so maybe I'm okay now.  We'll see, I guess.

Thanks to those who responded!
