The computer rebooted but, no message box popped up. Tried twice but no luck.

:step1: Please download and install Junction Link Magic
  • Run Junction Link Magic and perform a Scan (It will automatically ask you to run a scan when you first run it).
  • If it ask you to "Deselect the drives that you don't want to scan"... Unchecked all boxes except for C:.
  • Click OK
  • Once completed, look for the results under junction link.
  • Select the following entry and click Remove.

    c:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB60894$\1156935256

  • Close Junction Link Magic.



:step2: Please run Junction again and post the new report for my review.

"Junction link / Destination" window was empty. Tried scan twice, same thing.
"Remove" button remained ghosted.

I am not really happy about the outcome and this is a bit tricky to remove.


Run OTL.
  • Click the None button at the top (Between "Run fix" and "Clean up" button).
  • Copy and Paste the following code into the Custom Scan box.

     
    c:\windows\*. /RP /s
    


  • Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
  • When the scan completes, it will open a notepad windows.
  • Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of that file, and post them when you reply.

Two scanners reported that the symbolic link that we're trying to remove is no longer there, how's the computer running?

That's great, let's remove the remaining tools.


Uninstall:
1. Junction Link Magic
  • Go to Control Panel > Add Remove Programs > locate and remove Junction Link Magic.



Delete:
1. Junction.exe



Clean-up with OTL:
  • Run OTL
  • Click on the CleanUp! button.
  • Reboot when ask.

I just did a "delete" of the setup applications on the desktop for junction and junction link magic. Is that correct?
Thanks again for all your help.

Yes that is correct, just delete the installers but junction link magic must be uninstalled from Add Remove Programs in the control panel..
