Goncalo, what is interesting here is that though there are different views about what should be possible when running the uninstall script for TB, everyone is agreeing - directly or indirectly - that the TB uninstall script is faulty. Those who think that you should be able to uninstall data directories when running the uninstall script (either with or without being prompted for a password) are surprised to find that the instruction to uninstall data directories presented as an option of the uninstall script is ignored. Those who think that you should not be able to uninstall data directories when running the uninstall script would disapprove of the uninstall script's providing such an option, regardless of whether the script actually honors that option. So, in the end, it seems that everyone concurs that the script is broken and should be fixed or changed. -- Avi Yashar Windows XP Pro SP2 and The Bat!
