Uninstall after manually deleting application folders

I made the mistake of manually deleting the application folders on my PC and now I am not able to reinstall the revised application. I get error .."out of sync with client package..". I can't find the application in the remove programs list, either. How can I get past the error to load the new application software.
Thanks
Dan

You probably want to use msizap on your package's GUID to clean all traces of it from the registry.

thank so much. I found this tool is really useful for me!
FYI, it can be located at:
C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v6.0\\Bin
