Trying to install firefox on alternate drive but cannot uninstall multiple entries for 7 versions. Registry shows install location and uninstall with the "kernel32::GetLongPathNameW(w R8, w .R7, i 1024)i .R6\uninstall\helper.exe" in each entry of the registry. When try to uninstall from control panel get message Message "you do not have sufficient access to uninstall xxxxxx"
