- May not be Windows this time; uninstalls are a problem.

Saw one program that I didnt like or I dont remember isntalling it. I proceeded to uninstall the software. Guess what, some stupid pop up message just show up and it says I need to download another software on the internet just to remove that stupid software.
Some spyware requires you to go to the company's site in order to remove it. Microsoft didn't set that rule.
Some software, including Microsoft's, doesn't uninstall completely. Microsoft even has a program called msicuu.exe which helps uninstall.
Sometimes there are apparently problems with getting the uninstall software to work. Do the words "Install.log cannot be located" with a little OK button underneath sound familiar?
So it's not just the operating system creating problems with uninstalls. And with InstallShield newly bought, I have to hope that the buyer is interested in improving the situation. - Posted by: Anton Philidor Posted on: 06/25/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
