Monique, thanks for the response, but the user is an administrator and is a member of mqm. the problem is not with the user, but with the permissions on the files. All other files have open access, but the file that the uninstaller objects to is missing write permission. (I use cygwin as I am more comfortable with UNIX type tools, not sure what these map to in windows terminology)
