Author Help - remove WAS 5.02

I am new to WAS, I installed WAS 5.02 for testing last month on Win XP
Pro. I uninstalled the WAS after done testing. However, the
uninstall process hang,so I killed the process, and manually removed
the directory folders, registry & services. I scanned the registry,
nothing resemble WebSphere entries found. Also, I double checked the
entries memtioned in this IBM article
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/web...sks/trecovw.htm


Now, I need to reinstall WAS 5.02 again, and got problems.

1) The installation wizard somehow could pickup my last installation
directory. And prompted me to a) Add to the existing copy, or b)
install in a new directory.
But I am pretty sure there is no WebSphere entries left in the
registry, path, services, etc.

========================================

Where on earth did the previous installation setting come from????
========================================
===========================


2) If I pick a new directory to do the new installation, the
installation wizard tried to communicate/start my previous WAS
instance, and failed, and ended the installation process.

If I pick the previous directory (re-created the empty folder) to do
the new installation, the installation process installed some
files/folders and then stopped at creating Uninstall, the following is
the error log entry from WAS.PME.install.log

java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: "C:\Program

Please help. Many thanks.

Is there a way to force a new clean installation of WAS 5.02?
