    I downloaded qt addin from
    https://download.qt.io/official_releases/vsaddin/
    https://download.qt.io/official_releases/vsaddin/qt-vs-addin-1.2.5.exe

    I think I got some error maybe the install didn't complete. I want to uninstall and reinstall it.

    I tried running that executable again and it said ""A previous installation of Qt5 Visual Studio Add-in was detected. Please uninstall it before running this installer""

    But if I go to "programs and features" I don't see it listed.

      I found a solution here, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24720458/failed-to-install-qt-5-visual-studio-add-in

      to delete the registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Qt Visual Studio Add-in 1.1.11 – C:_Program Files (x86)_Qt4VSAddin]

      But it wouldn't delete in regedit..

      Then I found https://www.raymond.cc/blog/full-control-permission-to-delete-or-edit-restricted-windows-registry/

      And one of raymond's suggestion.. Registrar registry manager, was able to rename/delete the key. I renamed it and then I was able to install it.
