Platform: Windows 10. My current RH version is RH 2020.6.76.

I attempted to uninstall through Windows Apps & Features.  Although this seems to work for other software, it would not let me uninstall RH. I suppose being on a company computer might have made a difference (?).

Regardless, simply reinstalling quickly fixed the problem.

I have never seen that error or reports of it. Try rebooting first. After you see that a new version is available, close RoboHelp before proceeding.

I closed everything on my computer and rebooted.  I still get the same error.

For another Adobe app the advice is to uninstall and reinstall.

Fixed.
There is no 'Uninstall."
The answer was to simply re-install RH 2020. The reinstall took care of everything. I was then able to Check for Updates and upgrade.

If you go to the PC Settings > Apps and click on Adobe RoboHelp you will see uninstall. Where were you looking?

You are correct-- I exagerated the part about 'No Uninstall.'  It would have been more accurate to say that the default Windows Uninstall option refused to uninstall. I didn't see an uninstall optionn within RoboHelp or within Adobe's menu, so I tried  Windows Apps & Features. Although a Windows Apps & Features Uninstall option is available, it refused to do my bidding. I'm not sure if others would have the same experience -- I am on a company computer that may have unique settings and restrictions. Since the reinstall fixed the issue, I have no desire to backtrack. I'll leave an uninstall to someone else to attempt.
