Cannot uninstall SQL Search 3

BryanHBryanH Posts: 2 New member
Hello - I have recently moved from SQL Management Studio 2014 to now using 2016. I had SQL Search installed on 2014, but it did not appear on 2016. Reading this forum, it sounds like the suggestion is to uninstall and reinstall the product.

One problem - SQL Search will not allow itself to be removed from my computer. I am using Windows 10, and this is the error logged in the Event Viewer whenever I attempt to do so. The SQL Search installer provides no capability to repair an installation either, leaving me unable to move forward.
