Cannot Uninstall Trial Version YouCam 4
[Post New]
I installed the trial version of YouCam 4 and then opted to purchase the registered version. The problem is, I cannot uninstall the trial. The uninstaller dialog starts but the actual uninstall process never completes. There are no error messages. Until the trial is removed, there is no way to install the registered version. Any help appreciated!

Hi Michael,

I am guessing this happens when you run the install program?

If you already tried uninstalling manually from Add/Remove programs, try using the MSI Cleaner tool. CyberLink and others on the PowerDirector forum always recommend to use it.

You can see instructions and download it through the link on this page:

Just select YouCam 4 in the window and click Remove.

If you don't want to trust this site, you can download it directly from Microsoft too:

Here is a similar post on the PowerDirector forum for reference as well:

Good luck!

Thanks for the tip David. I've used the MSI Cleanup utility in the past with XP and Vista but didn't even realize it was also compatible with Win 7 x64. I was anxious to resolve the problem and ended up using Revo Uninstaller ("moderate" safety level) to force the uninstall. It worked great and the registered version of YouCam 4 installed without any issues. That said, I've downloaded a copy of the MSI utility for future use. Thanks again
