GalCiv II Desktop won't/can't uninstall

not even after reinstalling

I've installed the GalCiv II Desktop, believing it was a game extension only to find out it was a program that modifies Windows XP themes. So, wanting to uninstall it, I tried first the uninstall program, which didn't work and popped up a weird screen instead, apparently the uninstall prompt without text content (see screen shot below) and then the Control Panel add/remove, with the same result. I reinstalled that, which allowed me to uninstall the reinstalled program, but not the first one.

So, how do I remove this desktop theme thing completely, restoring my XP Pro SP2 to its prior state? Thanks in advance!

Here's the screen shot of the uninstall window that won't work:

Looks like you will have to find the appropriate entry in your windows registry and delete it.

Not that i can help you with your uninstall issue, but on a slight tangent i found the easiest way to use the package was to open it using a zip program and extract the various pieces i required. Had to do this as the package has never been updated and does not work with windowblinds etc. as it shows as a old version.
Once extracted i could load in all the parts separately and have had no issues since.

I sent my issue in to that address on 5/28: don't know why, but I haven't received a reply yet. Do support requests usually take somewhat longer?
