I suppose you would have to search the end-user's machine for all
instances of "myStack.livecode", and that seems
a risky business as the end-user might have other LiveCode stacks on
their machine that are needed to do something else.

I’m developing a very simple uninstaller for a Mac app. I have an installer,
thanks to DropDMG.
The uninstallation process isn’t difficult - it’s just a matter of deleting all
the involved files (some are slightly tricky to find, like dock aliases, but I
guess there’s a way around that). But there’s one issue that I’m unsure about:
what to do if the user has not obeyed the installer's instructions to place the
app in the Applications folder, or has maybe got a beta copy that wasn’t
installed using the installer, or has made a ‘spare’ copy somewhere on their
hard disk which I don’t know about. I can’t see any way to detect these ‘rogue’
copies - can anyone else think of one? I know there are some big hitters in
this area like CleanMyMac that claim to be able to find everything to do with
an installed app, but I am not that ambitious - I just don’t want to miss
anything obvious.
Any help would be appreciated.

PS When I crack this, I’ll have to do the same thing for a PC version of the
app. But first things first.
