if wuin droppings were left in the registry after a uwin uninstall then its a uwin problem
uninstall is fairly tricky because if *any* uwin programs is running, including the uninstall itself, some artifacts may remain the solution is to generate a .bat script at the tail end of the install and transfer control to it -- but the .bat script must wait for its caller to completely shut down before doing the final deletes -- getting .bat level api to do that is interesting On Sat, 01 Jun 2013 06:05:58 -0500 tfilm wrote: > Are you running on win7 64 bit?
