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



Good point, Darren. It could be that Pandora Recovery found many previously incompletely deleted files from old uninstalls, since I uninstalled Outlook Express shortly after purchasing this laptop in Dec '04. I was (perhaps unfairly) presuming the Ekiga uninstall was responsible.

Also, I was watching at the uninstaller's 'removing files' window the entire time it ran and never saw any files being deleted except for My Documents files. In the meantime, I have recovered about 15,000 of the 20,000+ My Documents files it deleted (in about 10-15 seconds of running!). Many are corrupted, but I hope to recover them.

Thank you for your continued assistance!

Stan

I can see the uninstaller wiping out the folder it is installed to by accident but the file you show in the screenshot is related to Exchange (Maybe Outlook) and not Ekiga.

I don't have access to a Windows system to test with this weekend but it is not impossible that the installer removes the whole folder it installs itself to.
