Why cant i uninstall MATLAB 2016a

Hi! I recently installed MATLAB 2017b so now i want to uninstall the 2016a version i used before. However, when i try to unistall it i get the error message 'This file is not connected to any program to perform the task. Install such a program or create an association in the controlpanel objects standard program if such a program already exists' (Roughly translated from swedish). How can i solve this problem?
