Same thing happened to me a few months ago including the 'Setup was
unable to install components......' warning. I did eventually get the
damn thing unistalled but not without a lot of help from the Microsoft
Knowledge base (sic!). It seems that manual uninstall is perhaps the
only option you may have - it certainly was for me.

Two pages to have a look at are:-

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q189/6/79.asp

(For information about the warning you (and I) received and the reasons
behind it)

and

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q217/3/44.asp

(for the complete manual uninstall instructions.

You will have to make some Registry changes so take a LOT of care. BTW I
have read somewhere that formatting the hard-drive may not always
provide a solution.
