I have an older touch-screen laptop with an early Windows Phone CTP installed. The control-panel uninstaller is broken - and won't uninstall unless you have the orginal media. Like I have media that I used to install something last week, let alone months ago. Anyway, I found a great blog post with a solution - just browse to the installation folder and manually uninstall by right-clicking vs_setup.exe. The linked blog post has more details.
