MacLaunchpad Brings Mac OS X 10.7's Launchpad feature to Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6. Every application installed in your computer can be launched via MacLaunchpad. You can set an app as a favorite and access it directly from a favorite's tray. It also allows you to find an application with a real time search system and to remove applications from the system.
To manage to uninstall Maclaunchpad you simply need to follow this Steps:
1: Go to System preferences -> Accounts -> Login Items then remove Launchpad from your login items. If you don't have any entry called "Launchpad" just go to step 2.
2: Right Click on MacLaunchpad icon at System preferences and select "Remove MacLaunchpad Preference Pane". This will require authentication, once the pane is installed at your library folder. This process will uninstall MacLaunchpad preferences pane.
3: Open Activity Monitor and terminate every MacLaucnhpad Process (Launchpad and LaunchpadCorners). This will allow you finally remove MacLauchpad from your system.
4: Drag MacLaunchpad Icon from your Applications folder and Drop it in the Trash icon at your dock.
5: Empty your trash. This will completely remove MacLaunchpad from your system.
The uninstaller provided here will only uninstall complete installations of the 1.2 version that came with the uninstaller. It seems the uninstaller crashes after trying to find a Login Item called "Launchpad". if your system doesn't have entry with that name then it will crash (You've got an incomplete installation). There is also a tiny script located at /Applications/MacLaunchpad/Contents/Resources called "register.app"
that will registrate Launchpad as a Login Item and will allow the uninstaller to work properly. One of those options will surely work for you.

The description of the app clearly states that its purpose is to bring the capabilities of OSX Lion Launchpad to Mac OS X 10.5.8 - 10.6.8. If you're running Lion why did you download it in the first place?
I was about to try it until the warning. MacLaunchpad seems to advertise itself as being better-featured than Apple's Launchpad. That being so, why wouldn't a Lion user want to check it out?
Oh, you'll get no argument from me about that. I use QuickPick, which is what Launchpad should have been. But it's not free (although it's well worth it). I just wanted to give MacLaunchpad a spin to see how it compared. But I think I'm just going to stick with what I've got and move on.
Why does this need Adobe Air to work? I'm confessing ignorance here, but from I read, Adobe Air is related to the web. Does this mean that Launchpad is connecting me to the web, or just using web program features? I'd simply like to have some idea of what I'm getting into before adding anything more to my system than I need. Thanks.
It requires Adobe Air to run the main graphic engine. Adobe Air does the dirty work while Cocoa stays at the background :D Launchpad doesn't require internet to run.
Launchpad was easily my least favourite new Lion feature. I want to give this app a quick spin though. Being able to set favourites could actually make Launchpad useful. +1 vote on changing the name, though.
I guess I'm not trying it after all because, FYI, it requires Adobe AIR, which I'm not wiling to install for this alone. The installer is included, but there's no mention of AIR at all until the Adobe licence agreement pops up.
This looks neat for 10.5/10.6 users who want Launchpad, but it really needs a name that isn't also "Launchpad." (Probably best to keep Apple's lawyers from beating at your door...)
A tip for anyone who may have installed this app on Lion (initially there was no warning against doing so): If MacLaunchpad (formerly Launchpad) replaced your existing Launchpad.app with its own app, don't panic! The functionality of Lion's Launchpad remains intact. Like Mission Control, Launchpad actually runs as part of the Dock process--Launchpad.app only activates it. That's why Launchpad and Mission Control appear in the regular Applications folder, while the application bundles for the Dock, Finder, and other system essentials are located in /System/Library/CoreServices. You can restore Launchpad.app from a backup (or Lion install external disk/DMG if you have one; this method requires using Pacifist to dig into the installer packages and extract the individual app), but if you have no means of recovering it, you won't actually lose anything other than the ability to activate Launchpad by opening its app bundle (i.e., clicking the Launchpad icon in the Dock). You can still activate Launchpad using a gesture, screen corner, etc. Obviously, it would have been better if MacLaunchpad had included a warning from the start to prevent this issue. But I think it's worth understanding exactly what the loss of Launchpad.app entails because, if your only way of recovering it is to reinstall Lion, you may decide it's not worth the trouble given the minimal impact Launchpad.app actually has.
