Re: [Ekiga-list] destructive Ekiga Win-XP un-install



Thank you for your reply, Yannick.

I understand that just because something happens when performing a task, it doesn't mean that task caused it. That's true.

However, in this case, I watched as the uninstaller removed the normal components of Ekiga one would expect to see during an uninstall, but then continued to erase files and and folders in My Documents. The window did not change. It was the Ekiga remove window. What else am I to conclude except that the uninstaller did it?

I will wait to see the results of your test.

Thank you,

Stan

This is not a proof. What you saw is your computer deleting your files,
not ekiga. e.g. some viruses add themselves to various binaries and do
actions when this binary is used.

The windows binary is cross compiled from a GNU/Linux platform; this
process is quit safe against viruses. Some days ago, people did a check
against the binary for viruses and they did not find anything. The
website ekiga.org is pointing to the right binary as Eugen stated.

I'll try to reproduce your issue, but be aware again: it is not because
you are using some software when something bad happen that it is a proof
this particular software behave badly.

Best regards,
Yannick
