How to uninstall FreeMASTER?

How do I completely uninstall FreeMASTER 2.0 and get it removed from the Programs and Features control panel in Windows 7?

"FreeMASTER 2.0" shows up in my list of installed programs but when I select it there is no option to uninstall. I also don't see any uninstall options in the FreeMASTER setup program, nor any uninstall instructions in C:\Program Files (x86)\Freescale\FreeMASTER 2.0.

Hello Bob,

Until now, no one needs to completely uninstall the FreeMASTER.

However, the path of Unistal Freemaster 2.0 see below:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\FreeMASTER 2.0

After uninstalling, the folder of FreeMaster 2.0 in Freescale folder will be uninstalled and also from the Start menu.

But we can see the application in Programs and Features control panel.

I hope it helps you.

Best Regards,

Diana

I get the following error when I run the uninstaller you suggested.

It does seem to delete all files from C:\Program Files*, but the FreeMaster 2.0 item still shows up in the Programs and Features control panel, and the registry on my PC still contains a lot of FreeMASTER entries. This means my company's IT audits will probably still flag this as non-authorized software.

NXP should fix these issues.

Has this been resolved?

I am trying to un-install freemaster 3.1 and it simply gets stuck during the uninstall process. The windows registry is full of freemaster references. I am on a windows 10 system.

1. What is the uninstall issues update ?

2. How can I force an install of a newer freemaster version with out it trying to un-install an older version ?
