I have gotten that type of message for other things on
many occasions (trying to access documents, windows media
player etc.) However with the add/remove program, I do
not get any error message, it seems to "ignore" me when I
click the link- no response at all. I have tried to go to
Windows Help and access the program from there, but it
gives me the message: "The operating system could not
start this program. This may happen if: your computer is
on a network, you need to install hardware...." with
several other generic possibilities.
Also, even though it doesnt give me the error message you
suggested, I checked the registry editor - In the
policies folder there is no uninstall, only an "explorer"
folder. Don't know if that is relevant.

Name it NoAddRemovePrograms and leave it set at 0.
