AutoCAD was installed and removed but thinks it is still installed



CREATE A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT
AutoCAD was installed and removed but thinks it is still installed.
Find and delete these windows installer keys. The keys might not match exactly. They started with 7D, 2F, 57. You can tell they are AutoCAD related.
(BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY, CREATE A SYSTEM RESTORE POINT unless you feel lucky)
 
Look for something like this and then do a find for the version you want to uninstall:
Delete the entire 7D key.
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\7D2F3875000B9040102000060BECB6AB\InstallProperties]

Power Users -You can search the registry for AutoCAD and delete keys that you fell comfortable deleting. Look for keys that look exclusively AutoCAD.
