I'll add testing of the new version and the Novell version to my TO-DO. The Novell version is probably more trusted after all. What do you mean about "verify that the EXE is intact"? > Second, RemProf.exe does not work on Vista, according to the documentation: > "This utility was written to replace the command DELPROF.EXE currently found > in the MS Windows Resource Kit.

Deletion of the user profile folder by the uninstaller is not critical, but obviously should be done (in any case - still an improvement compared to the current installer which doesn't even try). An alternate solution is to "blindly" do a delete command against the path we believe to be the user profile folder. The path should be predictable most of the time, but will not be in *all* cases. Worst case scenario is probably that we make a bad guess and delete nothing at all - but in theory we could delete a wrong user profile folder. - Zero3
