RE: Re: Purging WDSC, et al, from PC

I think with 5.1, they have finally gotten the install correct, the 
problem is that you still had to endure the uninstall of 5.0 whether it 
was done automatically by the 5.1 installer or manually.

Hopefully it will get better from this point on.

my experience is that uninstalling is needed and also impossible. 
 
The whole thing has become a total mess. I suppose IBM uses fresh new
machines. I've always upgraded or migrated and as a result I now have 
files
from the Win 95 and OS/2 days. I've given up trying to use the tools
escepting Client Access.

My experience starting with WDT has been that uninstalling is mandatory. I
just reinstalled 5.0 because of problems I caused. It took five 
hours--four
tries--not counting the time spent uninstalling on the previous day. I
should have edited the registry manually instead of using Reg Clean and
manually deleted every file remaining after the uninstall. My filters from
the previous installation somehow survived totally intact. Fortunately it
works.
 
When I went to wsci from wdt I tried to install over--bad mistake.
