    Use the supplied batch file uninstaller

    C:\ProgramData\AudioUTOPiA
    Then Run as Administrator the (Correct Named) Batch file, it will call Uninstall64.exe
    Same method applies to all their releases.

    @The-RoBoT Thanks! This thing was driving me nuts. Any registry entries that must be deleted?


    Edit. I dont see the entry for Pro Tools. In fact, I checked on another system and there is not any entries for Pro Tools inside the C:\Program Data\Audioutopia\ folder. I ran the -fix command for the uninstall to no avail

    i guess i probably missed something...
    but for a fresh install i would advice you to delete these paths:

    these two are invisible, so don't forget to activate seeing invisible folders!
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Avid
    C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Avid

    C:\Program Files\Avid
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Avid
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Avid

    and this registry (hold windows + r and type "regedit" without ")
    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Avid
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Avid
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Avid Technology
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Avid

    these are all for windows 10 but shouldnt be much different from those in windows 7
