Cannot uninstall/reinstall ExtendScript

Question

Greetings!

I was having icon issues with ExtendScript files (.jsx etc.) so I figured I would reinstall ExtendScript to see if that cleared things up. However, nothing will let me uninstall/reinstall it. The box on the AdobeCC app screen has no options for installation/uninstallation, and the Windows 10 program list also does not include ExtendScript.

I assume that the registry somehow lost track of this program. (How ExtendScript got installed originally is also a bit of a mystery, but I think it came with AI CS4 or maybe FrameMaker, so it was not installed as part of CC.)

Any solutions? Everything operates OK, it's just that I have no options to remove/reinstall, which irks me.

Thanks in advance for any help!

An update to anyone who's interested:Ten A's answer resolved the uninstall problem. I downloaded the installer, ran it, and now both Windows and Adobe CC offer uninstall options for ExtendScript. Cheers! As for the icons, I did solve the problem, but it involved a lot of sleuthing around the registry. Long-story-short, the icons were wrong because I had manually picked "ExtendScript" from the "Use program" dialog (to pick an application other than the default). I won't go into details, unless someone wants to know. I wonder if Adobe gave ExtendScript a little more love, these problems would be less frequent.
