    The uninstall information for those programs may be missing.

    Have you used any registry cleaners or other software that may have removed the uninstall information for these programs?

    You may have to either use a more powerful uninstaller, or try to reinstall then see if windows will let you uninstall it.

    Used a third party program to remove the programs. If i install them again it does the same thing. Must be an issue with the 8.1 preview.
