Diagnosed and resolved a SolidWorks 2024 SP5 uninstall failure on a domain-joined engineering workstation. Root cause was manual program file deletion leaving orphaned MSI registry entries that blocked both Programs and Features and msiexec uninstall attempts. Resolved using Windows Installer Cleanup Tool to clear corrupt installer state, then successfully removed the remaining SolidWorks Installation Manager. Produced a formal KB article documenting the issue for future reference.
