Some conceptual errors may bite you a year later...

Same error as before.
Looks like the Version= has an issue...

( was unexpected at this time

One more time...

the echo X%Version%X returns XX
I exported the actual reg key for you

Typo in GUID...

Wait, wait, wait...

Before we are trying to hack around in the registry, can someone please confirm before why a former installation of Spring'16 can't be removed manually as written in our release notes?

Either this way from start menu

Or from control panel->software:

A former installation can of course be removed. But then you struggle with the fact that some people will uninstall everything, thus losing their TV data, grabbers, and whatever else they might have installed.

The small hack is really no harm and only targeting the current Spring 16 setups

uninstall everything, thus losing their TV data, grabbers, and whatever else they might have installed.

Completely wrong: no MP2 uninstall ever removes DATA folder, so this is really no reason!

I could no make other screenshots, but the control panel looks the same for Spring'16 and the "remove" button is the same though
