Reasons for it failing can be numerous from mundane reasons like running out of hard disk space to more serious ones that include Registry corruption or crashes. One problem that can arise from a failed software installation are installation leftovers that can not only impact disk size but also stability and performance of the computer system.</p><p>The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility has been developed by Microsoft as a tool to clean a computer system after a failed installation of a software program using the Windows installer. The computer program will display a list of all applications that have been installed using Windows Installer giving the user the option to remove their installers properly from the computer system.</p><p><span

The cleanup program will then remove the installation files from the computer system so that it can be removed or installed properly. Microsoft advises to not use the program to cleanup Office 2007 installers this way. The reason for this is that it can happen that installers can become corrupted so that it becomes impossible to remove the program from the operating system.</p><p>The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility is <a
