Nero Uninstall Issue

I had the Nero 8 Demo installed, but no longer have the original
installation files. I now have the full blown licensed version of Nero 7
(which is actually Nero 7.9). I can't install the 7.9 version because the
system detects a newer version (even though the newer version Demo period
has expired). I can't uninstall version 8 because of some errors.

How can I get version 8 off my machine so I can install version 7.9?
I've tried renaming the folder on my harddrive and renaming the folder in
the Registry but Ver 7.9 still detects version 8 installed.

Thanks

You have a question for Nero technical support or (probably better) a
newsgroup or forum that knows about Nero software.

You could always re-download Nero 8 and then try uninstalling it.

Hi JCO,
Try to use the Clean Tool for Nero8, then run a disk clean up on your
machine and Reboot then try the other version of Nero!.

Yes, if I can find it. That is what the problem is. I don't have the
download.
I will do some searching and see if it is something I can find and download
again. Just worried the installer will detect it and say that it is already
installed.

I will let you know if I can get this done (if I can find it).
Thanks

I downloaded and installed it. It had some errors installing but did not
abort.
It was a good enough installation that I was able to uninstall it.
Great... it worked.
Thanks again
