I am trying to uninstall the program "Presto PhotoAlbum". When I try to remove it by going to Control Panel, Add or remove Programs, Presto PhotoAlbum, Remove; The Install-a-Shield logo comes up and then I get the error message: "The log file 'C:\Program Files\NewSoft\PhotoAlbum\DeIsL1.isu' is not valid or the data has been corrupted. Ininstallation will not continue."
Is there some other way I can remove this program?

Hi rotaru. welcome to Geeks2Go!

To remove it by the proper method (which currently doesn't work) you should first re-install it over itself. This should replace the missing/corrupted log file which it needs to run the uninstaller. Otherwise you are left with the unsatisfactory alternative of manually deleting all the files/folders which you know belong to the program, and there's no way of knowing where they all are, so a lot of 'junk' is going to get left on your disk.

Some uninstallers don't always make a very thorough job of it, but they are still better than trying to do it manually.
