Bob, That did the trick, except that I had to use the custom uninstall.
Executing unwise.exe gave me three options, Automatic, Custom, or Repair. I first did Automatic and got the same old behaviour it just deleted the install.log file. Copied the install.log file back, and executed Custom. It threw up a few screens asking whether I wanted to delete this or that. For those items that were windows files (e.g. dll's) I said No, for those that were obviously Legacy specific, I chose Yes. Seems to have worked!

First I would check to see if you have the install.log file in the Legacy folder. If you do, make a copy of it and put it on your desktop for safe-keeping. Next, go into the Legacy folder , find the file named "unwise.exe" and double click it. Basically, you are ignoring the shortcut link inn the Start menu and just executing it manually. It will probably ask if you want to do a custom uninstall or an express uninstall. Choose the express uninstall. (NOTE: can't remember the wording exactly insofar as custom vs. express, but you will see what I mean when the window comes up). Let the express uninstall continue and when it finishes you should be good to go. Hope this helps. Just deleting the Legacy folder from your hard drive (as someone recommended) is probably not a good idea. That will get rid of the Legacy files but leave a bunch of invalid entries in your Windows registry.
