This is a problem common to many of us, whatever the source. So I'll
try to be helpful and not just suggest that it is somehow your fault, Stanley.
Don't try any brute force uninstalls. You'll only leave junk in your registry.
You need that install.log, so install Legacy 8 again. Then instead of
relying on the uninstall in the control panel, go to the Legacy 8 program file
probably in C:\program files (86)\Legacy 8 and click on unwise.exe. It should
uninstall at that point. Now you should be able to be able to install it and
bypass suggestions that it might not have installed. It is a good program once
you get past a few hurdles.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy 8 uninstall fails
Hi all,
A few days ago I reported the problems I was having with the update to
8.0.0.427 on this machine (Win7-x64).
Today I tried uninstalling Legacy8 using control panel. Again I see a Windows
error from the Program Compatibility Assistant, and I selected the option to
"use recommended settings." But the program did not uninstall - it remains
listed in "Programs and Features." When I try to uninstall it again, there is a
message box which says "Could not open INSTALL.LOG file" from Wise Uninstall.
I've done "brute force" removals of applications before, so I will be able to
clean up my system. I had high hopes for version 8, but my experience leaves me
dismayed and disappointed.
-Stan
