How to remove program "entry" from remove programs

I hope this is the right forum for this question -
I have XP pro and in "remove programs" when I try to remove a program entry it reads "Unable to locate the installation log file" Of course I can't remove the entry in the "remove program" because the program was removed in another way. So there are entries I can't remove. So how do I remove the entries?

Someone in another forum said to go into the registry and type in the text of what I want removed. I did that and that doesn't work. The only way I know how to do it was RE-INSTALL the program and then DELETE through the "Remove Programs." feature. The other way is to format the drive but we all know that is to extreme.
