Uninstall incomplete

wmorrison · 17th May 2004, 20:13

Hello,
When I am uninstalling the application only the current user's program gets uninstalled. I am using the

SetShellVarContext all

command but it seem as if it is not working. I am logged on as an administrator. I am installing on win2000 pro

Wilford

It will remove things from the 'all users' folder, not from all user folders.

I agree, but it is not uninstalling it from the 'all users' folder. After uninstalling it and rebooting, the 'all users' folder still contains the application files in the installation directory.

You should put 'SetShellVarContext all' in both the installer and the uninstaller section.
