RE: [WDSCI-L] Re: Purging WDSC, et al, from PC

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.
