Apple Software Update/Can not Uninstall

I have Apple Software Update sitting in my Add/Remove Programs list.

I can not delete it. I cannot repair it because it is gone. But the Software Update listing is still in the list and I cant get it to go away. I tried to install a new version of Itunes, but it will not install until I get rid of this ghost of Apple Software Update of days past.

Anyone know how to give this A.S. Update the boot off the list??

Thanks,eh?

Brad

CRAP! I forgot I posted this!

I used the Windows Installer Cleanup utility to get rid of the offensive item on the list.

After I used the utility, the install of ITunes went without a hitch.

Thanks for posting another solution, Bill!
