How can I uninstall InsallShield Update Manager

It’s annoying enough that this InsallShield Update Manager program
seems to have just magically appeared on my system. But what’s worse
is that the automatic update functionality of the InsallShield Update
Manager does not seem to work at all.
I found a forum and that makes it more confusing to remove
InsallShield Update Manager.
Below is some comments from the forum.
Installshield offers an uninstall program to remove the Update
Manager. (http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q111006).
This thing called uninstall on their pages,
http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q111006 , doesn’t work for
me. It removed update manager from my control panel, but there is
another instance of program which is in start>all programs which is
running, as if I didn’t uninstall anything.
The only effective way is to clear the associated entries from your
registry and delete the files under “update manager” in “program
files/common files/install shield/”. At least that’s the only luck
I��ve had with it.
To disable the InstallShield Updater, you could rename file
C:Program FilesCommon FilesInstallShieldUpdateServiceISUSPM.EXE.

I also note that there is a file C:WindowsISuninst.exe which is
described as the InstallShield Uninstaller.

Any help would be appreciated,

Gary Palmgren

Interesting ...

Your first paragraph seems to be a direct quote that "David" posted
on http://www.gadgetopia.com/post/3837?p=1 on June 11, 2006.

Reading thru the rest of the comments, one person near the bottom of
page 2 ("CHL" on April 5,2007) got the utility to work by first
booting into Safe Mode, then running it. (start tapping the F8 key
when the computer boots until you get a menu that includes Safe Mode)

Please boot into Safe Mode and again try the instructions you got
from:

http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q111006

let us know if it doesn't work
