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

It seems you misunderstood me. 

Default setup install dir is obviously progfiles/ekiga !!!

On your machne for some reason it found or proposed mydocs/ekiga

Moreover the uninstall understood that the install dir is  mydocs. 

I then would think about wrong registry reading from installer/uninstaller

Installing any program in MyDocs is unconventional, and I recommend against it. ALL programs in WinXP should be installed in the Program Files directory. The reason is simple. If a program behaves badly from within the Program Files directory, it can only damage itself and other programs, which can be easily downloaded and installed again.

OTOH, if a program behaves badly within My Documents it can do irreparable damage to important data files, photos, etc.

Please change the install script to default to the Program Files directory.

Thank you again,

Stan

I thought the installdir the installer proposed was Mydocs but it seems it was mydocs/ekiga which definitely tell there is a bug that leads the uninstaller to remove the top directory of the installed directory.
