Uninstalling VB 6.0?
I seem to have made a mess / corrupted my VB 6.0. I wish to uninstall and then re-install...

However, well, I can't find any Uninstall routine. Can I simply safely reinstall right over it??

Any ideas on how to do this safely? Thanks all in advance!

Uninstalling MDAC 2.6
Hi! I need help figuring out how to uninstall MDAC 2.6 from my machine so that I may install MDAC 2.5. I recently had SQL Server 2000 installed on my machine, and it replaced MDAC 2.5 with MDAC 2.6. This is unfortunate since the program I'm working on has thus far been developed using MDAC 2.5 and the installation of MDAC 2.6 on my machine has caused problems with component compatibility. Does anyone know how I can uninstall MDAC 2.6? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Uninstalling An Application
hello,

I have used VB 6 package and deployment wizard to setup the installation procedure for an application, however I notice that it doesn't include an uninstall feature.

Well, that is not exactly true, it does have ST6UNTL.DLL
But this will only run through Add/Remove programs on the control panel.

What I want is an uninstall option within the program group on the start menu, but referencing this dll doesn't work.

Is there another DLL I can include in my application so this will work.


Cheers.

Uninstalling SP6 From Dev Machine
Hey guys,
I was not informed at work until AFTER I installed Visual Studio SP6 on my dev machine that there are older VB apps running at the production server level that may have issues if I install my vb app with SP6 installed.

Now, how in the world can I remove SP6 from my dev machine and start over? Please don't tell me I have to reformat c.

I already have uninstalled and reinstalled VS6 and then when I goto "help about", VB still says I have SP6 installed.

thanks

Uninstalling An Application
I know the name of an application that was not created with the P&D Wizard that I need to uninstall as if Uninstall had been clicked in Add/Remove Programs. Any ideas?

I have checked and this program does not have a seperate exe to run that will uninstall it, but it is visible in Add/Remove programs.

Uninstalling Problem

Autoupdate (what About Uninstalling The Updates? )
I dont need code examples, just need an idea of how to go about it:


I want to use INNO installer for the installations of my app.

After the install whenever i post an update on the web, the app will autoupdate using traditional methods ( loader checks for update... downloads, registers new components....etc..etc..)

Question is when user whants to uninstall the App, the uninstaller will read the original install log, but the new files (that came from updates) will be left on pc.

Any ideas how to unsinstall EVERYTHING.

Should the app change the uninstall.log file as it makes updates - so that the uninstaller will know to remove the new files as well?

Any other clever ideas?

Uninstalling Previous Versions During Setup
When I package my application using the VB6 Package and Deployment Wizard and then use it to install my application, the setup program will not unistall or overwrite the existing version files.

In other words, I might have version 1.0 of my application installed on my hard drive. I create version 2.0 and package it with the Package and Deployment Wizard. When I run setup to install version 2.0, it does not overwrite the files of version 1.0. I am having to go through Add/Remove Programs to uninstall before i can run setup and install version 2.0

Is there not some way that setup can be made to overwrite existing files?

Thanks.

How Can I Prevent Users From Uninstalling My Program?
Hello,

First and foremost, I am NOT attempting to create spyware, or so...

I am creating a program that hides sensitive data, so logically I have to forbid anyone from uninstalling the program except the person who had install it first.

So my question is:

How I can prevent the client from uninstalling my program unless he log in with a password to the program, then he can uninstall it from inside.

I want if he tries to uninstall it from the control panel, a message box pop ups asking him to uninstall the software from from inside. I saw many program does it.

Please tell me; is it done by code or registry or what?

Your help is greatly appreciated.
