Using the programs and Features for uninstalling is giving me the error and asking me to find the file. I searched my C drive for it but not there. Need help somehow.

Does the folder C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Designer Pro X\12\PanoramaStudio\ have any content?

For the Content Installer, you may have elected not to retain the Installation Files.

In the Windows Registry, you might like to open Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MAGIX\Xara_De signer_Pro_X12 and check what is there.
In Contentpacks will be the detailed Keys to both items. I believe removing them will stop them appearing in the Add/Remove programs window.

Deleting all these entries might affect your machine so you must make a backup of your Registry.

Here is a screen shot of the registry and the files side by side. I dont see a folder or registry key for content pack. I tried running the panorama studio by itself and it opened as a standalone but can not get it to uninstall. Still confused. I have XARA3D also and and don't want to cause issue with that product but maybe I should just uninstall all xara and magix, delete all registry keys and file folders and go from there.

Here is what I did to finally fix it all. I uninstalled all my Xara and Magix programs even though I still had the same errors so was left with the 2 products still installed. Then I ran a Registry Cleaner. next I restarted system, then deleted any and all Magix and Xara folders in my C drive. then ran Registry cleaner again. Restarted system, and then manually went through registry deleting all Magix and Xara keys. Restarted and the programs are no longer installed. Then I reinstalled all of my programs and the Designer Pro Version 15. Hopefully when the next update comes I will not run into the same issue again.

That's what I call a spit & polish cleaning! Glad you got it all sorted!

Now trying to reinstall product again and it wants me to find the file so I can install them. Total frustration. Does Xara or Magix make a force uninstall program for their products?

[Boy]

The uninstall feature normally works fine. I'm not aware of any Xara force uninstall utility.
