Hi,

Remove the last listed entry from Add or Remove from here:
Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

This has to do with (in most cases), the Default Icon having a negative
number. If it were for Auto-Cad, I have an automated fix. Good luck!

All the Best,
