While I was installing Hamachi, it wanted me to rename my Hamachi Adapter to just Hamachi, I couldn't complete this step because the adapter wasn't available. So I created it manually. The computer forced a restart and the network never showed. From then on I ouldn't start the program or uninstall it. The error I recieve when trying to uninstall it is:
"Failed to load intallation log. Without this information uninstaller cannot proceed."
If anyone knows how to resolve this let me know.

Manually delete the folder from the program files folder and use something like ccleaner to get rid of the entry in add/remove programs.
Then get the latest version and try to install it. I can install hamachi and get it running without it asking for a restart so I think something must of gone wrong with installation. My adapter is called just Hamachi but it shouldn't matter.

Why do I get "Failed to load installation log" when trying to uninstall Hamachi?
This is due to you or a program on your machine removing uninstall.dat from the Hamachi program folder. You can manually remove everything related to Hamachi by doing the following:
*Remove the Hamachi program folder in c:\Program Files
*Remove the virtual network adapter. This is done in Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Network Connections > remove Hamachi
*Click Start > Run > regedit > OK > Expand HKLM\Software\ > Delete Applied Networking
*Optional - Click Start > Run > %APPDATA% > OK > and delete the Hamachi folder. This is your Hamachi identity. If you do not back this data up, you lose ownership of your Hamachi network(s).

It sounds like the installation is corrupted - and the log wasn't written properly - which means the uninstaller cannot "roll-back" the actions performed.
Can you try to reinstall - i.e. install over the top - then you should be able to uninstall.
