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.

 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:
