  Vista SP1
  Steady State 2.5
  
  I installed Steady State last week just to check it out and wanted to uninstall it but it wouldn't uninstall. I ended up deleting all instances of "steadystate" in the registry, deleting the Cache.wdp file, and Steady State in Program Files.
  
  Now, upon a new install of the msi I get "The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel"
  
  I installed Windows install cleanup to try and clear out any leftover config files but the program wasn't listed.
  
  I researched the registry and found these values related to Steady State that were undeletable:
  
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Enum\Root\LEGACY_WINDOWS_STEADYSTATE\0000]
  "Service"="Windows SteadyState"
  "Legacy"=dword:00000001
  "ConfigFlags"=dword:00000000
  "Class"="LegacyDriver"
  "ClassGUID"="{8ECC055D-047F-11D1-A537-0000F8753ED1}"
  "DeviceDesc"="Windows SteadyState Service"
  
  Both:
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Enum\Root\LEGACY_WINDOWS_STEADYSTATE
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Enum\Root\LEGACY_WINDOWS_STEADYSTATE\0000
  
  are undeletable using regedit (also the values under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Enum\Root\LEGACY_WINDOWS_STEADYSTATE\0000 )
  
  What would be a good way to correct this?
