How to uninstall ASAP Utilities

Note for installations with multiple users

If other users on the same computer used ASAP Utilities too, you will have to manually remove ASAP Utilities from their list of Excel add-ins. This is something that can only be automated for the user that runs the uninstall due to the design/restrictions of MS Windows. In such a case the user has to follow step 4 till 7 of the manual uninstall.
