Re: thanks for nothing

Specifically, did you download it from

http://dia-installer.de/download/index.html.en

or was it from another website?

> I can see how it also is wiping every other program

Excuse me for asking the following. I use Linux and the process is
different.

How did you notice, does the uninstall mention each file being erased?
What files raised your attention?

> wiping every other program I had installed on that drive

So, not on your whole computer, just one drive? Sounds weird; never seen
that before...

I am assuming you uninstalled it by using the control panel, is this
correct?

If this was the fault of the installer/uninstaller I can assure you this
is considered grave by anyone around, but we need to replicate the
problem to find the root cause and provide a fix.

Thanks.

Yes it was from that site I believe.

I saw in the uninstall window how it was deleting a scrolling list of files, first it was the files belonging to the program and later I started recognise other files from other programs like Fruity Loops, WinFF and Neverwinter Nights 2.

Yes, I have my OS on a SSD and the rest of all stored data on a separate drive.

Yes, I went to the control panel, clicked on uninstall a program and chosed Dia.

To complete on usability: Dia goal is to design general logical draws such as diagrams and charts (there are other programs if you need a specific diagram task, such as UML design, but Dia offers flexibility and programatic I/O you can extend yourself). Dia has nothing to do with a general drawing program. Take a look on its homepage and online documentation.

More generally, the only good way to find a program which fit your needs is to take a look at its homepage and documentation (with except for: you benefits a software package system with convenient metadata, index and search engine, what you find for years on most GNU/Linux general purpose distributions).

I know there are plently of bulk download sites, plently of freeware, adware and footware, and they generally sucks on any side but display ads. Don't blame a program [making bananas perfectly]: shame is on download site [claiming dishonestly that program did the strawberries you want].

Thanks for the tips, I've settled with an online tool for now.

Yeah, I've come across it before. I apologise if I was a bit rude earlier, but I was pretty upset when realising I had to reinstall every program.
