=======installing google desktop under different credentials than the active user is currently not supported
>>>>>>> .r7754I was recently trying to uninstall Google Desktop from my Windows XP install that I had running in Parallels Desktop for Mac. Every time I would boot up, it would tell me that it could not upgrade the database and begin reindexing all my emails and files from 0%. Thats no good! So, I decided to uninstall it and give Windows Desktop Search 3.0 a try.
Well, when I tried to uninstall google desktop, I would get the error message: “installing google desktop under different credentials than the active user is currently not supported”. After some research, and frustration, I found someones recommendation. If you get this error, the steps are as follows.
- Run the google desktop uninstall
- Click OK on the first error message, but leave the second one up
- Start the google desktop uninstaller again
- Click yes to all of the questions!
- Restart.
That should enable you to remove Google Desktop, when Google Desktop doesnt want to be removed!

Worked for me - thank you folks.
Note : in order to ptoceed from step 2 to 3 I had to close the “Add or Remove Programs” window by right-click | Close on the taskbar and start it again via Settings | Control Panel. Click again on “Remove” or normal close of “Add Remove” did not work
