Uninstall Tool can't handle environment variables like %systemroot% or %programfiles%.
So if uninstall string contains it - uninstall doesn't work.

Hello, dear sir.
Thank you very much for the feedback. Can you please tell us which software to download in order to test it?

You can test it simply by imitating an installed program.
Simply use this ".reg" file:
Code: Select all
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Test Test]
"UninstallString"="%windir%\\system32\\calc.exe"
"DisplayName"="Test Test"
This problem has been found when I try to uninstall "Synaptics TouchPad driver".

Fixed in 3.4 (currently in development): correct reading of REG_EXPAND_SZ registry values.
