Program Updates Are Replaced with Earlier Files

<< < (3/3)

Roger...:
OK - I'll give the uninstall process a try.

I won't be able to do that until the weekend because a fresh clean-install of this program and its resident data files is near to a Gig of data.  Program side is small, but the data side is huge and takes a long time to download and then install even with a fast machine like this one.  Data side is all DB-Type files, but to remove all traces the DB-data files are more than a trace with them making a huge space footprint.

I'll report next when I've been able to try the uninstall.

Do you think there would be any information in new program only install into a fresh directory that might be taken before doing something that would remove all traces of the current software and its data?

Shane:
Not sure, but if the program itself is small and the installer only installs that part you should be able to just put the large data that is downloaded in a different folder and then move it to the correct spot once done to save time.

We only want a fresh start of what the installer does, things it downloads should be separate from that.

Roger...:
This isn't solved yet.  I'm waiting for a released software only installation that doesn't force the installation of data.  I asked for this after your last posting and the developer agreed to create and promised to have it available late today or sometime tomorrow.  If it doesn't arrive until Friday, I'll perform the instructions you offered on Saturday morning.

Sorry for the delay,
Roger...

Shane:
No problem, and glad to hear they are working with you on it :-D
