When you manually remove an entry from the database, the program is not uninstalled, but the status of its installation is unknown to the system afterwards, ie. the entry from the control panel / add or remove programs will be gone. One possible usage of the utility is to remove an entry from the database that makes an update installation (or whatever) hang otherwise and then re-install the program over the still existing on-disk installation so that you end up with an updated installation and a clean MSI configuration database. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de) NP: "Anamatha (Intro Version)" by DJ Zen (from the 2003 compilation "Peace Therapy") ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
