RC3: Uninstall problem on Windows XP

Post by Jan Rysavy »

It seems there is some problem with the uninstaller in Salamander 2.5 RC3 caused by Windows Vista XML manifest we included in remove.exe.
We have reports from some Windows XP users that uninstaller doesn't work -- it does nothing.

We are sorry for inconvenience, we are working on this problem right now.

Workaround: download old version of the uninstaller:
http://www.altap.cz/upload/remove.rar (6KB)
unpack it over existing Program Files\Altap Salamander 2.5 RC3\remove.exe and run it.

I tried this. Still there is one file that can not be deleted: \plugins\salamext_1.dll

This file will be silently removed after Windows restart (is locked by Windows Explorer).
