It may be possible that the UAC prompt is not getting shown properly as this is the screen where's it shown. Try right clicking the installer -> Run as administrator to approve the UAC prompt first and then install/uninstall. You can also uninstall by running the installer of the version you have installed.

What exactly happens when you run it as admin? Does the UAC prompt get shown? Do you have UAC disabled? Or that part works but you get stuck at this screen above?

UAC means User Account Control. Okay, try this:
1. Open Control Panel
2. Open User Accounts
3. Click 'Change User Account Control settings'. Click Yes to continue.
4. Move the slider all the way down to "Never notify me" setting.
5. Click OK.

Now try installing/uninstalling Classic Shell. Some display drivers have problems displaying the User Account Control prompt so that may be why your install is getting stuck.
