Huh. I have never heard that error before, and it doesn't really make any sense that it should be happening now. Try opening Terminal (in Application/Utilities) and typing:
sudo rm -r /Applications/[name of application].app

did you install the program properly? (ie did you drag the app from the disk image to your applications folder?)
if, when you run the program, a white disk icon (a disk image icon) appears under your HDD on the right side of your desktop, then the app wasn't installed properly.
like this -
if you try to delete an app from a disk image, from memory you get a similar error.
if this is the case, then you can just eject the .dmg, and the app will be gone.
