      If you ask me, you installed it the wrong way to start with, using the
      installer, which sucks.
      Never install PHP like that, you won't be able to load any dlls by
      uncommenting them in php.ini.
      DO yourself a favor, and install PHP by hand next time.

      As for the solution? I don't know. I am used to having lots of buggy
      uninstalls in all my Windoze machines.
      Ask Balmer. ;-)

          Wrong - I've installed it using the installer on Windows and can load
          DLL's just fine. All I do is uncomment them. But I do agree the
          installer is not the best.

          The biggest problem is not all DLL's are set with the installed.

              Did you stop Apache before trying to uninstall it? You also may have to
              manually change the httpd.conf file when uninstalling.
