1. Uninstall AIP
2. Error during uninstall

The problem is with the result of the PATH environment variable.  If there is some other command in the path, that is the same one that CAST AIP is normally looking for in the windows system area, then it will not properly find the proper command path.  The solution is to modify the PATH environment variable so that the windows system path is found first.

For example, for find, it can be found in the windows system area or cygwin (Linux commands).

So that if the path is something like this:

Then it needs to be modified so that the system32 path is above the cygwin path.

From a command prompt you can also issue a 'where <command>' to see the location of the found executable.  In the above example for find, issuing 'where find' results in the following which shows the cygwin path first:
