Full directory cleanup during uninstall (1 Viewer)

[chemelli]

I see that a lot of users have issues related to the partial removal of MP or TV3.
I noticed on my own system that once you remove the software from control pannel a lot of stuff is still in place.

To get rid of everything I did a stupid vbscript that will clean all directory used under Vista.

Confirmed to work fine under both XP and Vista.

It would be great to have an option during uninstall to clean-up all stuff so to be sure to start with a clean install.

Like keep settings\remove settings, does make sense (of course "keep settings" default)

Nice idea, especially as some so called clean installs are not all they are cracked upto be.

Did you try uninstalling MP 0.2.3.0 ?

MP 0.2.3 final has introduced the clean-up user setting, but will not really clean up things expecially if you have a SVN on top of it

I found usefull to run my script to get rid of all left-over files.

Maybe it would be usefull to have two buttons:

clean-up all left-over files and
clean-up user settings

Attached new version of my VBS script.
