I receive an error while using Unlocker 1.8.5

Asked By Casey Edison 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/17/2011

Hi, I need to uninstall Git version 1.7.1-preview20100612 from my WinXP SP3 machine. Whenever I try to uninstall it in the addremove programs I receive an error so I tried to delete it by using Unlocker 1.8.5, but it also gives an error

“No locking handle found.

However Unlocker can help you deal with this object.

Choose the action you want to perform on the object”.

It then gives me the option to delete it at the next reboot, which I selected, rebooted, but the file is still there. Anyone, who can explain about this error and moreover I do not exactly know what this locking handles actually is so please brief me about this also.

I receive an error while using Unlocker 1.8.5

Usually it happens when we try to uninstall Unlocker software.,

The reason is , registered in the OS for such a software installation get changed and then it won't allow to uninstall the software

Git version 1.7.1 is one of them

To make it properly uninstall you have to switch over in safe mode and try to uninstall.,

if further same problem arises then switch in normal mode and just again install Git version 1.7.1 software., due to this., proper registry gets register inside the OS and now after restarting you can properly uninstall this unlocked software.

Before you un-install your software try un-installing the Unlocker program. The unluckier program or system might be blocking the un-installation process so it won’t allow you to un-install any application. The unlocker might be blocking your operating system add and remove program modules.

After you have removed the unlocker, boot in safe mode and inside it try to un-install the Git program.

Other than this, if you still can’t proceed with the un-installation, your un-installation program might be damaged or there are some errors in your registry file. Try manual removing of the program then perform a registry cleanup utility.
