Hi guys, I'm trying to uninstall the "Mapping toolbox" but I get the following error in the "product uninstaller" window:
" The application encountered an unexpected error and needs to close. You may want to try re-installing your product(s). More information can be found at C:\Users\peppe\AppData\Local\Temp\mathworks_peppe.log "
Here a part of text on the .log file:

Hi @Sophia Lai, I solved by uninstalling Matlab and installing it again.

You might need to Run As Administrator to uninstall using the flow you were using.
If I recall correctly, in Windows, error -2 indicates permission denied.

@Walter Roberson I've tried to uninstall by running Matlab as admin but it does not work!

Sorry, I do not know. I recommend contacting Mathworks Support.
