Re: Connective un-installing/installing programsn problem!!

Try running the 'keepers' while you uninstall the 'gotta go-ers'. This may cause an 'inuse' error that lets the needed file remain.
Unfortunately, the uninstall app for those is not under the control of Windows. The creator of the app would have to code for that.

Its Win-Xp-Pro SP2

the problem is there is a kind of a link between programs that i install or
un-install that makes the remaining programs on the machine works in a funny
way.

I know that some times programs have shared components, but when i
un-install/install a program and the system never gives me a warning about
any shared components then there shouldnt be any problem .. i suppose.

what happens is, lets say i have programs (A,B,C and D) if i install other
programs (say E,F and G) or Uninstall one of the former programs (A,B,C and
D). The remainig programs on the pc (say B,C ) will not function properly and
when i launch any of them they will give out a little dialogue box saying (
Installing in progress)

what the hell ! it seems that i have to re-install programms i already have
on the PC !! and Nothing happenes after the dialogue box or installation
appears cos it does nothing ,, i have to insert the CD of the programm and
re-install it :-(

NOTE: that happens without any warning msg from the system that there are
shared components and installing/uninstaling may affect other programs!!!


HELP PLEAAAAAAASE :-( i have ben suffering from this for a year so far :-(
