Title: Can't uninstall 5.0.1.6
Post by: PaulG on February 19, 2009, 03:51:58 PM
I tried uninstalling the program, but it fails.  How do I get rid of it cleanly, so I can re-install the later one.  I had installed it in the default install folder (C:\Program Files\OpenDCL Studio), except that I put a "-5" in the folder name (C:\Program Files\OpenDCL Studio-5), so I could tell which one I've installed and which one I'm using.

But now, that I have .7, I would like to use it.  However, I'm not able to install .7, nor am I able to un-install .6.

Even the Windows Cleanup Utilitiy (register cleaner) did not get rid of it.

What to do?

Thanks,
Paul G

What happens when you try to install Beta 7? What error messages do you receive?

Good news, I was able to install .7, which I will use for now on.

I still have .6, which someday I might want to uninstall.  However, would it be safe just to delete the .6 folder and files manually?  I looked in the add/remove programs and it only displays the one install (.7).  That's why I think just deleting them would be good enough.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Paul

Yes, if you have successfully installed a later version, it's safe to just delete the orphaned files manually.
