Blink install fails before creating an uninstall entry in the Add/Remove list and the directory does not seem to contain any modules to initiate an uninstall. Reading  this board, the only advice I have seen is to "Reinstall in order to Uninstall". A little unorthodox, I'd say, maybe even effective, in some cases, but certainly not for me: Since the original problem is that Blink installation will not complete, the advice is less than useful. Blink, just like any other software consists of files and registry entries. Surely you must have the means of removing all traces of Blink after an incomplete and unsuccessful install?

Please! It's driving me nuts and giving Blink a bad reputation.

Use this tool to remove the entry from Add/Remove Programs and be able to reinstall: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295823

Make sure you uninstall your other AV if you have any before reinstalling.

 Inicula,

It appears you have misunderstood the request.

They are unable to UNinstall Blink.  There is no entry in add/remove programs.    

If a new installation completes successfully then it could be uninstalled and the system would be clean properly. Usually (not only for Blink) the best way to uninstall an incomplete installation is to find a way to install the program successfully and then uninstall it.

Plus I was under the impression that the intention was to have Blink running on that system, but I could have misunderstood indeed.

I had the same trouble when trying to install Blink with Nod32.  Needless to say, it fudged the install.  However, Blink did manage to install, but the install was broken. It did not add an entry for Blink in the Add/Remove Programs.  I was not able use Blink.  Moreover, when I rebooted and started back into Windows, the system slowed to crawl, until Windows fully loaded.

Did you attempt install over another AV/Firewall?
