Flipper,
It sounds like you have issues with your Registry to me. The reason that you say that you can't uninstall the program under Add/Remove programs is that it is unable to locate a certain peice in the registry to uninstall it correctly. Also, the fact that when you click on the Read Manual button under the Help menu of Microstudio without anything happening states a registry issue also. The registry entry telling Microstudio where the manual is installed is not working correctly.
What I would try is reboot the computer. Then try to remove the program again, if it still won't remove then Install 2.400 into a different directory than C:\Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Microstudio. Try chaning this installation folder to C:\Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Microstudio2400. Then see if it will install the program into this directory. Try using the Icon to see if it still shows Microstudio 2.315 or if it shows 2.400. If it still shows 2.315 then go to the Directory C:\Program Files\Micro Technology Unlimited\Microstudio2400 under Windows Explorer and then double click on the Microstudio.exe file. Then check the Help Menu\ About for the version.
If Microstudio 2.400 sees that Microstudio 2.315 or earlier is installed on the computer, then it will give you the options to Repair, Modify or Remove. If you get these options then you must first select Remove, allowing it to do so. Then reboot the computer. Run the installation again and this time it will ask you for your Email and Serial number to unlock the program. Then this means that it worked correctly.
Let me know what you find.
