Hi Mike,
Looks like the uninstallation attempt failed somewhere along the way...
Here's how to uninstall a game when using Add-Remove programs fails:
Step A: Start your computer in Safe Mode by holding down the F8 key.
Step B: Reinstall the game to the same folder it was installed to originally,
and then try to uninstall it again using Add-Remove programs. If
that fails, delete it's folder and any save games in My Documents.
Step C: Install and Run Regcleaner and if it finds any stray registry keys for the
game, delete them:
