[Peter Welinder]

Want to unstall an editor. (Corel Videostudio PRO X10) but I only got a errormessage.

"This file is not associated with any app to perform the operation. Install an app or create an association on the default apps settings page if an app is already installed"

Are you Uninstalling from Programs and Features [Control Panel] or Apps [Settings]? What you described sounds like trying to open or delete a file.

I'm with you and even a step further. Sounds like OP has already deleted said software and now a file is not associated with it and wont uninstall.

You might want to try "take ownership" of said file and try and delete it that way. Plenty of methods to follow, just google for it.

From apps.
The error text: "This file is not associated with any app to perform the operation. Install an app or create an association on the default apps settings page if an app is already installed"

As bassfisher suggests. Grab the utility here:

Requiring administrator permissions

It refuses to let me change metadata on files that I should have administrator privileges over. on a similar problem someone suggested to change the permissions on the upwards folder but this did not work or I was simply too dumb to execute the instruction properly
