You deleted registry entries manually? That can have a very bad
effect, making things impossible to recover, and doesn't actually
uninstall from the Windows Installer Database. Manual hacking is a
very bad idea with Windows Installer stuff, thanks to Microsoft.

Try the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. Note the instructions
carefully: after force uninstalling you should then reinstall and
finally uninstall the object you are having trouble with.
