Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: win32 Group: v1.5.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: triggz (triggz) Assigned to: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Summary: Installer is a fuckup Initial Comment: I just downloaded GAIM 1.5 for windows. I ran the installer and it said 'Your old version of GAIM will be deleted. Continue?'. I hit OK and it WIPED my entire user\desktop\ folder! WTF!? No warning about WHAT it planning on deleting was given at all. My previous installation was quite clearly installed in program files\gaim\. I would be irate as hell if System Restore hadn't actually fixed it back 100%. I would highly suggest not forcing it to delete old installations, just overwrite instead. Or AT LEAST have a confirmation dialog before it tries to wipe files that have never been associated with GAIM. Other than this near disasterous fuckup, I like GAIM. Keep up the otherwise great work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100235&aid=1663367&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
