I have even done some troubleshooting by looking at other discussions on this topic (\/forum\/forums\/topic\/file-not-found-uninst_data-dat-1\/); however, they appeared to be able to solve the issue by re-downloading the software, but that has not worked for me so far.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Any suggestions?
