Macrovision InstallShield
Hi,
I don't know where to post my message, so I am posting here.
My question relates to Macrovision - Installshield.
I have installed shield on my pc. I don't know who or why it was installed - probably installed by my pc manufacturer.
My software inspector program tells me that that installshield is no longer supported and should be uninstalled.
The update service (installed shield) - ISUSPN is configured 'check for updates for these programs'. The ticked box only indicates Installshield update manager.
I would like to uninstall Installshield, but it is not listed in 'Program and Features' (Vista Control Panel) - so cannot be uninstalled from here.
Two qestions:
Can I uninstall installshield without breaking any of my software?
2. How can I uninstall installshield (I note there is an installshield folder in 'Program Files' - 'Common Files', should I just delete this folder?
Thanks
Ps. installshield version: 3.20.0.0

I think this site will answer some of your questions: http://consumer.installshield.com/
Essentially however, you can't uninstall Installshield without uninstalling the program that it came with.

Thanks for responding.
I have downloaded SoftwareManagerUninstall.exe and understand that this programme will remove the registry entries.
If I do this, should I manually delete the files in Program Files/ Common Files/InstallShield?
A couple of other points.
Do you know if the uninstall utility is safe, that is will the registry be unharmed?
Am I right in assuming that installshiled is not monitoring any of my programmes ( as stated: 'The update service (installed shield) - ISUSPN is configured 'check for updates for these programs'. The ticked box only indicates Installshield update manager.')?
Hence, I have nothing to lose in removing the programme.
Best wishes.
