Do you want to do this? I've seen two approaches: the first is to bring up a dialog if there are additional files that weren't part of the original installation asking whether the user wants to delete the data files as well. If not, just leave them on the disk. A subsequent reinstall should be able to pick up from where they left off. The second approach is to leave things as they are, keep the data files and the folders intact, just not notifying the user. This is the way Adobe AIR uninstalls things, and the AIR installer has a bug that gives a nonsequitor error if you try to reinstall or install over an existing installation. But in any case, I think it's bad form to delete user-generated files without asking first. -- Mark Wieder [email protected] _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
