  • Possible quick fix:

    I would try re-running the installer, rebooting if prompted, then try the uninstaller again.

    That may be enough to correct things and make the uninstall work.

  • If you still have problems:

    The steps in Problems installing Opus for repairing the similar InstallShield error while installing (clearing the InstallShield and temp folders) are worth a try.

    As with the "quick fix", you would need to re-run the installer afterwards, then the uninstaller.

  • Manual uninstall:

    If Opus was set to replace Explorer and the uninstaller is failing, you can manually turn off Explorer Replacement via a .reg file.
