I have several software in Add/Remove (Windows XP SP2) and I can't uninstall. But CCleaner 2.0.491 can't delete them either, it always displays a "Can't delete MSI installer" error.

Typically MSI installed software has to be removed from Add/Remove, Add or Remove programs.

If it's something that won't allow you to install a new version, uninstall, or has crap leftover you have to use Microsoft's Windows Installer Cleanup Utility (freeware).
Complexity of incoherent design.
