SDCentral, can't uninstall

from WinCustomize Forums
how do you uninstall SDCentral? The add/remove looks for INSTALL.LOG which it can't find. As does the unwise.exe

OK...copy the 'Install.log' and 'Unwise' files from the SDC folder to C:\ and try the un-install again..

it's a new bug.

You have to manually delete the SDC folder, then delete the stardock reg keys to uninstall it.  We'll hopefully have that fixed in the next release of Stardock Central.

The same thing happened to me. I finally found the the "Install.log" (not the usual uninstall.log) in the "All Users" folder. The uninstall program did not know to look there. I did a Find. After finding several files called "Install.log" on my hard drive I opened each until I found the one that said Object Desktop in it.
I then copied it to the Program Folder for Object Desktop and Uninstall worked.
HOWEVER...uninstall leaves all sorts of folders, files, links and yes even mucho keys in the registry!
