I think I may have stumbled upon the underlying cause of this issue and why it only affects some users - I fairly regularly delete everything I can from C:/Users/%USERNAME%/AppData/Local/Temp including all the nbiXXXXXX folders in there. It seems the .nbi registry refers to those files and if they're no longer present you get the error about only partially loading the registry and the uninstaller fails. I've worked around this by re-running the original installer for the version I'm trying to uninstall (which requires clearing out the target installation folder too), then immediately uninstalling it; but its a bit messy. Not sure important state that need to be persisted should ever be given a home in the %TEMP% folder! -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
