What exactly will Win10 installer do? | How to do a 100% clean unsinstall?

Hi there,

I follow the development of  0 A.D. for years now. Great effort!

Each time I get a new computer I automatically copy (! not install !) a version of AOE by MS without any copy protection I once got officially with a magazine years ago.
Means by sipmply deleting AOE´s directory it is totally removed.

 

What will the 0 A.D. installer (Win10) do exactly?
Will 0 A.D. be anchored deeply into Win10 into several directories and registry? Will it exchange (update) libraries, etc. Or ist it just extracted and copied into a single directory?

        Same question but other way round:

How to un-install 0 A.D. (100% cleanly) from Win10?
If I don´t wanna rely on the 0 A.D. uninstaller or Win10 ´Software and Features´-Removal. Which directories and files need to be deletete or restored?

Certainly there is a way to get this information (in form of a list) out of the installer. But is that managable for someone (like me) who is not into sowftware distribution?

 

Thank you for reading.
Any information will be appreciated.

 

Kind regards,
  Catweazle :-)

Hi there,

@stanislas69
The portable version will fullfill my needs. :-)
Backdraw: I need to be patient.

 

@Imakok
Cause I want to be able to double check / test the result of the uninstaller.

 

Cheers,
