How to fix: Error 1001 While Uninstalling or Installing a Program (Solved)
Error 1001 While Uninstalling or Installing a program: Error 1001 may occur while trying to update, repair or uninstall a specific program in Windows OS. The problem is commonly caused because the previous installation of the program is damaged.
The error "1001" is commonly faced, because the previous installation of a program is corrupted or because the Windows installation is not in a normal state (e.g. the registry has been modified by a malware). In such cases, the user cannot uninstall, repair (reinstall) or upgrade a software on the system and receives the following error: "Error 1001. An exception occurred while uninstalling. This exception will be ignored and the uninstall will continue. However, the application might not be fully uninstalled after the uninstall is complete”.
