How to remove Registry Entries

[designer22]

Hi,

I was trying to re-install SolidWorks 2010 on a Windows XP machine. I did a complete uninstall of SW, but the registry entries are still there. I tried to delete the following "HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Solidworks", and I couldn't.

I was following the instructions as per the FAQ

Any suggestions,
Thanks

Do you have priveleges on your computer to edit the registry? Many IT departments lock you out of doing registry edits.

The delete key is all that is needed.

Cheers,

Check these posts on same topic (helpful while installing/uninstalling SolidWorks). But as Anna said, you must have rights to delete registry keys.
