Uninstall Teamviewer without having files to uninstall

Michkov

I've lost the non OS harddrive TeamViewer was installed in. That is, I lost all the files of the actual program, but not the registry entries. I wanted to reinstall TV, but the installer complains about TV being already installed and quits on me. All I got from the old TV install is the start menu entry but that it, so I got no handle to uninstall it. So

A) How do I uninstall TV with no files present?

or

B) Force the installer to run, despite protestations.

Thanks.

PS: I'm on Windows 10

Hi @Michkov,

Thank you for your message and welcome to the TeamViewer Community! 🙌

What you could try is to delete the TeamViewer-related files within the registry.

You can find them under:

• [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Teamviewer]
• [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TeamViewer]

Once they're deleted, you can try and reinstall TeamViewer.

Let me know if this has worked for you!
