as you can uninstall nx takes a lot of time, mainly due to the removal of documentation, consisting of thousands of small files.
I turn, then, some notes on nx uninstallation.
These notes are found on the distribution kit (dvd), but not in the documentation.
(explore dvd and find it below, for example, dvdrom_nx050\docs\nx.pdf)

- nx documentation is made up of thousands of files and the msi installer takes a lot of time to remove them.
to give you an idea, nx6 has a doc that occupies 1.1 gb and 88,000 files.
- although the r&d has searched for every tips possible, the problem is precisely the pure number of files that makes the process long and there is no direction of resurrections (files).

- essentially the tip to be applied is relative to the erasure (or the rename before...) manual of the folder nugdoc. "rmdir /s/q ugdoc"
Of course you can also do via ms explorer, but the process takes more time (don't ask me why).

- at this point you can use the msiexec silent unistall option instead of using the classic "add/remove". the command is:msiexec /qn+ /x ... works 100% in the background

- for nx you can use the same msi utility (msiexec.exe), after manually removing the nx foldermsiexec /qn+ /x “ugs nx 6.0.msi”Try the thing on a test installation. we always talk about a "batch" uninstallation
 
interesting suggestion!
I removed nx7 just yesterday ... between program and documentation left one morning!
