Comment (by guest):

 Hello, I would like to know if this problem (and more importantly the
 problem from track 42) has been resolved as I too have been having the
 same problem with uninstalling winhugs and I am getting the error message
 mentioned in track 42.

Hi guys!
I was trying to uninstall WinHugs in order to install a newer version,
 and I found that the uninstaller.exe program doesn't work.
I opened the uninstaller.exe with a hex editor, and I found that it's
 not a valid executable file. It's some weird combination of HTML and
 executable code. These are the first 15 lines of the uninstaller.exe file:
{{{
<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" content="text/html;
 charset=Windows-1252">
</head>
<body>
<pre>
<table width=100% bgcolor=#CFCFE5><tr> <td> <font face=arial size=+3>
Build Log
</font></table><table width=* cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td
 width=0 bgcolor=#EDEDF5> </td><td width=0
 bgcolor=#FFFFFF> </td><td width=*><pre>
<h3>------- Build started: Project: Uninstaller, Configuration:
 Release|Win32 -------
</h3>
</pre></table><table width=100% bgcolor=#DFDFE5><tr><td><font face=arial
 size=+2>
Command Lines
</font></table><table width=* cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td
 width=0 bgcolor=#EDEDF5> </td><td width=0
 bgcolor=#FFFFFF> </td><td width=*><pre>Uninstaller - up-to-
 date.</pre></table><table   width=100% height=20
 bgcolor=#CFCFE5><tr><td><font face=arial size=+2>
</font></table></body></html>
}}}
I hope this is not difficult to fix.
