I don't know about accessing add/remove programs directly but to uninstall most applications that were installed via installshield there is regkeys that save information about the uninstall string. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ you can just paste the uninstall strings into the run box and proceed that way.
