I had the same problem.

Under SP1, I would exit Add/Remove Programs and re-enter, and the problem would go away.

Under SP2, the problem never goes away.

I did learn that the programs ARE in the listing, they're just way down there.

I have found a cause and a solution; it worked for me, but I don't know if it will work for you:

In my case, the problem turned out to be the Uninstall\DisplayIcon registry value for AutoCAD 2002.

I 'simply' removed the comma from "D:\\Program Files\\AutoCAD 2002\\acad.exe,-1"

To find the value, I ran Regedit, and navigated to the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Micro* soft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninst* all]

I exported the registry tree to a file, and searched for AutoCAD 2002.

This let me identify the key as {5783F2D7-0101-0409-0000-0060B0CE6* BBA}, allowing me to edit the value.

That fixed it.

Sometimes you get lucky.

It worked a treat.
Thanks to all for the assistance.
