The VideoLAN Forums

I goofed. I upgraded from vlc-2.2.4-win64 but I wasn't paying attention and installed vlc-3.0.11-win32 on my 64bit ASUS laptop, which came new with Windows 10 installed.

VLC starts and runs OK when I open a video file, but I cannot start the program by myself because Explorer cannot see any of the files or folders. Windows Control Panel does not see the program either, when I try to uninstall it from there. Running the 64bit installation program stalls when a Microsoft Store window appears and tells me VLC is already installed.

So I can't use the Windows or VideoLAN routines to uninstall it. I'm looking for a step-by-step procedure for manually deleting the 32bit version from the Windows Registry, because I would like to run the 64bit version.

Unless someone has a better idea, of course.

Something else is problematic, if you cannot browse your drive from explorer, to the VLC installation folder.

User suggestion: Perhaps run the 32 bit installer of 3.0.11 again. I expect the first thing it will do is uninstall VLC, it has done that up to now, and presumably it knows what it did to install VLC, and how to remove it?
