PowerDVD DX removal

Question

I have an Inspiron 6000 with Windows XP MCE 2005. Apparently Dell installs 'PowerDvd DX' (a stripped down PowerDvd that works with MCE) I guess in order to get an Mpeg decoder. Anyway, I want to install full PowerDvd 6 and I can't, the install fails with 'Invalid installer'. I'm sure this is because PowerDvd DX is installed, so I want to REMOVE / UNINSTALL PowerDvd DX. But there's no entry in Add/Remove Programs, or shortcuts to uninstall. How do I uninstall PowerDvd DX??? PDS

Solved: Simply removed all files/folders in my Local Settings\Temp folder, then ran PowerDVD 6 setup and it worked. PDS

Virtue, Good job. I run the CleanUp! program once a week and before I install any software.
