Problem deleting then re-installing Utorrent / Utorrent No longer in Program/Features folder - Vista

[Pluggerb69]

Hello,

I had a recent issue where upon start-up of Utorrent I was getting a runtime error message and Utorrent would just shut down.

It was suggested by a friend that I un-install then re-install the latest version of Utorrent. I un-installed Utorrent that I went to the main Utorrent page and clicked download and I downloaded the latest version utorrent 3.4.5 build 41865. However, when I did this and clicked on the Utorrent.exe icon on my desktop, it didn't go through an install process but rather just re-opened Utorrent to the latest build. I found this very interesting and bizarre to say the least but then when I went into my installed programs under Programs/Features in control panel, there is NO Utorrent in there at all. What is even more weird is that my icon on the desktop utorrent.exe I just have to click that and it opens Utorrent back to where it was but updated from the previous build.

My question is that would there be a reason that this has happened as I am a little uncomfortable that Utorrent does not show now in my programs/features folder in Control Panel (I have Vista). My previous just Utorrent icon that I would click on to start the program is no longer on my desktop either and I find it weird that I just have to click on the now Utorent.exe icon to start it up.

How would I now completely uninstall Utorent and then re-install so that it would show in my Programs/Features folder, any help will be appreciated.

Also, upon doing some more reading and reviews of the latest Utorrent, there is something about third party installation of stuff and a few reviews mentioned something about Epic or Bitcoin, all that stuff is news to me so any help on that one would be appreciated.

 

Cheers,

 

Chris

Means you didn't uninstall or remove the older version correctly. That is why the icon run the older version.
