When I contacted the maker of Pocketwin they said this:
It shouldn't be in the registry, however there are files in the Windows folder that contain uninstall information and are created when the program is installed. The file for PocketWin should have a name "FP|8 PocketWin.unload". I am guessing that you cannot uninstall the software because the file contains the symbol "|" which apparently is not allowed in the new WM2003 operating
system (as well as Windows XP on desktops). But because this filename was programmed into the installation, it got created anyway and now the operating system can't read it when it tries to uninstall PocketWin.
This is totally our fault - we should have checked the install archive for invalid symbols. Sorry for this major inconvenience.
