Perhaps you won't have to do that.

You write you can't uninstall LavasoftTcpService64. The name suggests that it's
a service. If it isn't properly stopped and removed as such, you might be able
to can do so manually (from a Windows shell running "as administrator") with

sc.exe stop LavasoftTcpService64

sc.exe delete LavasoftTcpService64

(if that's also its name as a service).

If you can't find LavasoftTcpService64 in "Programs and Features" in Windows,
you might be able to find and uninstall it from within PowerShell (also running
"as administrator") with (this may take some time)

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object { $_.name -match "^LavaSoft" }

If this finds an "IdentifyingNumber" then you can specify it to the Windows
Installer to try uninstallation like this

msiexec.exe /uninstall {12345678-90AB-CDEF-1234-567890ABCDEF}
