Things may not be as dire as they might appear.

Can you provide some specifics as to what is not working properly or 
what does not seem correct?

If necessary, attach screenshots illustrating the problem(s). (do not 
paste into the message, *attach* the images to your reply)

The simple answer to re-install though is just that. Run the installer 
again. It is supposed to remove your previous installation first. 
However, you can manually uninstall if you prefer. (from Settings > 
Add/Remove Programs) It might also be a good idea to check in the 
Program Files directory and delete the GnuCash directory after 
uninstalling if it is still there. Some folks reported a bug where it 
doesn't cleanly remove itself and that may cause issues on 
upgrade/re-install.
