Uninstalling Windows Desktop Search

I'd like to uninstall my windows desktop search but can't find it in the add/remove programs. How can I uninstall it

Hello lex3, could you please let me know what version of WDS you installed? If you aren't able to find the program in Add/Remove programs then I'll need to version to point you to the correct uninstall file.

Thanks,

I would also like to uninstall Windows Desktop Search and am unable to locate in "Add / Remove Programs". The version installed on my computer is 6.0.5361.0

I have a similar problem. I found the $NtUninstallKB11993$ and $NtUninstallKB11993-V2$ folders in my c:\windows folder. However, I'm not sure what to do next. I tried running spuninst.exe in both folders, but get "The update could not be removed because newer updates are installed. Please remove the newer updates first."
