I agree in so far as that an option given isn't working when it really aught to be working. > 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. As an option that's explicitly enabled? I see no problem with that. I, and I think, Paul, are referring to apps that silently delete personal files during an uninstall process ... no confirmation ... no prompt. > 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. I don't disapprove personally. It's a separate option that the person doing the uninstall has to enable after consideration. That's very different from deletion that occurs without user intervention. -- -= Allie Martin =- The Bat!? v3.5.29 System Specs: http://www.ac-martin.com/sysspecs.htm -=-=- Simon says: don't be so suggestible. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.29 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
