How to uninstall?

I can't seem to uninstall Splashtop streamer from my Win 7 PC. It shipped with my ASUS eee Pad Transformer and I haven't been able to get it off the computer.

There's no link for it in "Add/Remove Programs", no link to uninstall on the start menu program group, and when I browse to the Splashtop location in program files ("C:\Program Files\Splashtop\Splashtop Remote\Server") there's no uninstall application.

So, how can I remove this application from my PC?

I had the same issue.  On the chance it might fix itself, I downloaded and installed version 1.7.0.4.  After that, it showed up in my add/remove programs and I was able to uninstall.

Roger that, installing the new version then uninstalling worked.

My desktop XP is Ethernet connected to my DSL modem, and connects to several devices around my house, including my Asus Transformer Prime. I need RDC for my PC laptop to manage programs on the desktop. With my Transformer, I needed the ability to run the desktop as well, so I installed Streamer. After a couple of successful sessions with Streamer, all my wifi devices began to connect erratically or not at all.  I've tried to uninstall Streamer, but the Add/remove app informed that "not all files could be removed" (maybe because a process was running?)  Is there a list of all files installed by Streamer? This old PC appears unable to support both RDC and Streamer at the same time, and I need to completely uninstall Streamer.

Streamer also stopped my PC connecting to WiFi. Streamer wasn't on my "add/remove programs" list, and the uninst.exe in Streamer's folder in Programs didn't solve the problem. I had to go to the Services control panel, and stop and disable the two Streamer services, before I could use WiFi. Not impressed, especially as I only installed Streamer because I had to install Asus's package of apps (which included Streamer) before using Asus's drivers to debug programs running on the Transformer Prime.
