February 21, 200521 yr This might have been asked before however I missed it. Why do some software developers that produce payware software that installs a "uninstall.exe" in the main flightsim directory? I've encountered a problem such as this. It seems that when you install a purchased software and this is done, when installing another it overwrites the earlier "uninstall.exe" and replaces it with the present installed software. Well, you can imagine what eventually happens - each getting replaced by another and if you're not careful on an "uninstall" you can wipe out the wrong software. Any other experiences?Wilbert Wilbert
February 21, 200521 yr Yes I noticed that too, but not with payware yet, my experiences are with some freeware. I don't know exactly what I should do if I found I wanted to uninstall something that had lost its uninstall file, most likely I'd choose to delete the appropriate folders and leave them in the recycle bin for a while just in case, if I was trying to save disk space.
