uninstall WAS6.1 express to fix local web

Done everything to get local web working for webSphere site. 

Try: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.base.doc/info/aes/ae/tins_customb_61.html 

These are instructions for manual removal (when all else fails).

All of it is normal:

1. uninstall

2.  delete IBM dir

3.  delete registry settings that mention WebSphere

4. vpd.properties in %WINDIR%   ****Wait, you might have missed that.

6.  from the WAS install location, run C:\temp\was61expressinstall\WAS\installRegistryUtils\bin>installRegistryUtils.bat -cleanAll

#6 was a doozy

back it up and delete the original.  try the install again.
