Unable to Uninstall Fences 3

When I try to uninstall Fences 3 from Windows 10 64-bit I get an error message:

Failed to load plugin: C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\Fences\Uninstall\Unicode.lmd(#1)

I need to uninstall Fences 3 in order to install my registered copy of Fences 2.  How can I deal with this problem?

Thanks.

It worked to an extent.  After running it asked me to complete the Fences 3 installation which I canceled.  Fences 3 still showed up in the 'Programs and Features' section of Control Panel.  When I tried to uninstall again, Microsoft said that it had already been uninstalled and asked me if I want to remove the reference from 'Program and Features'.

However, the registry still contains a lot of references to Fences.

Did you purge reboot and install 2 and reboot.?

Just say no to 3 ?

I checked the registry after a purge/reboot and noted there was a lot of left-over registry settings.  Then I installed Fences 2 and made sure that I could uninstall it without any issues.  There were still a bunch of registry settings left over as well as directories on the hard disk.  However, I can live with that and I consider the issue closed.

Thanks for your help.
