Demo Uninstall

[agamemnon]

How do I uninstall Flyboys? I tried going through control panel/add/remove programs and all it did was re-install the game. There was no option to uninstall. I can delete the files in the Flyboys folder, but that would leave a lot of other stuff laying around that I don't want, such as the Add/Remove Programs entry and any files that the games copies to Windows or System folders.
Thanks

BTW: This issue is happening under Windows XP Home on a Dell laptop.

Interesting. I had no problem at all uninstalling it. When it installs, in the program folder (on the start menu) it has an uninstall option. If you removed files manually, this may be interfering with the uninstall (looking for files to remove that no longer exist).

I'd suggest reinstalling, then using the uninstall that the demo places in the start menu.

Just make sure "remove" is checked (I don't recall offhand, but I think it's one of those installers that when it's already installed, gives you the option to reinstall, or remove).

If that all fails, go find a registry cleaner/utility, delete the files manually, then run the registry cleaner.

Ok, the uninstall under the Flyboys Start Menu item worked fine. I hadn't tried a manual uninstall because I didn't want a bunch of stuff left behind. I could probably do a pretty good job of getting rid of a lot of it, but the odds of getting it all are low with a manual uninstall, so I just waited. I can't believe I didn't think to go to the start menu and see if there was one there. They might need to check on the Uninstall in Add/Remove Programs, though. Looks like it might be a little messed up.

Thanks for the tip!
