Monty & all, It turns out I was wrong; the uninstaller _does_ remove everything (including local* files) after a reboot. I've fixed it up so the following policy is:
- On install, create localsearch.css, localprefs.js, localaliases.txt and mrumenu.txt, unless they already exist - On install, create localsearches directory, unless it already exists - On uninstall, remove everything but localsearches directory, localsearch.css, localprefs.js, localaliases.txt, history.txt and mrumenu.txt This effectively means that the uninstaller never removes the install dir, since it will never be empty (local*.* will always be trailing). Are people OK with this solution? I think it works OK, and I'd much rather have it this way, than losing my local settings, but I can imagine some people wanting to get rid of it, without trailing files. Maybe we should have an uninstall option to either fully remove DQSD, or leave local*. Anyone know how to do that in NSIS?
