Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot commented on DIRSTUDIO-482:
--------------------------------------------------
Ouch !!!
That's very bad... Sorry about it.
The problem is that we simply drop the folder where Studio was installed.
It looks like this in the uninstaller code:
RMDir /r "$STUDIO_HOME_DIR" ;Studio install dir
I think we used this because usually on Windows each software is installed in
its own (sub) folder.
We have to fix this...
I think we could use something like that:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Uninstall_only_installed_files
> Uninstalling Studio on windows remove all the other installed component in
> the same directoy...

> I downloaded Studio, launched it, and as I already had it installed, it asked

> /opt/cygwin/<all my cygwin files !>
> Basically, it wept ALL MY BLOODY FILES, including Studio. Hopefully, I didn't
> installed it in c:\windows, otherwise ...
> There is something wrong in the uninstaller, and this should be fixed
> urgently. I'm afraid that it may differ the release ...
