Uninstalling NX can be a very long process, especially if you have an old/fragmented hard drive. The reason is that Installshield (the engine behind the curtains) checks for every single file installed within the directory. When you think about the number of files in your NX installation (mine has 122.000+ files !), you'll understand why this file-checking slows you down.
Here's a trick to speed things up : before going into Add/Remove Programs, shift+delete your installation. This won't be deleting your uninstall data.
Then proceed to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the product as you'd normally.
The amount of time you've gained adds up to a considerable amount if you need to do this on quite a number of machines.
This 'method' can also be used to uninstall the UGDOCS installation.
