Really cannot uninstall QNX SDP 6.5.0   
Steps to reproduce:

1. Directly run the uninstaller for QNX SDP 6.5.0 SP1 (not through control panel).
2. Before restarting also run the uninstaller for QNX SDP 6.5.0 (again, not through control panel).
3. Restart.
4. Run the installer for QNX SDP 6.5.0 and you will see the following message:

"The installation cannot continue because this product is already installed.  If you wish to reinstall it, please 
unistall it first."

5. Referring to other related issues on this topic I found a cleanup utility at

http://www.qnx.com/download/group.html?programid=20905

6. Run the clean up utility for SP1 and the regular installation.
7. Restart
8. 4. Run the installer for QNX SDP 6.5.0 and you will see the following message:

"The installation cannot continue because this product is already installed.  If you wish to reinstall it, please 
unistall it first."

So you see, even after I run the cleanup utility, I still cannot reinstall the QNX SDP.  I am running Windows 7 
Professional SP1 on a Dell Precision M4700.

Re: Really cannot uninstall QNX SDP 6.5.0   
A colleague of mine referred me to the same issue in topic 2346.  Turns out, for me the vpd.properties file was the one 
thing I wasn't able to figure out on my own.  I did everything else but that, so after I deleted vpd.properties the 
install worked.

Did you try this

1. Are the Environment variables set? If you're starting from a fresh
install, 
       then the environment variables shouldn't be set. You can check/change
these 
       by doing the following:
       1a) Right click on My Computer and select Properties
       1b) Select the Advanced Tab
       1c) Press the Environment Variables button. If QNX_HOST and
QNX_TARGET are set, clear them.
  2. If you're installing fresh, then ensure that QNX630/install is cleared
out.
  3. To completely remove QNX from a Windows installation, ensure that the
following do not exist.
       <drive>:\QNX630\host
       <drive>:\QNX630\target
       <drive>:\Program Files\QNX Software Systems
       <drive>:\Windows\vpd.properties
