Catweazle Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 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 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 When A23 re-release is finished I will make a portable version you can carry on a thumb drive. This way you won't have to bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imarok Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Why not just use the 0ad uninstaller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catweazle Posted September 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Hi there, thanks for the really quick answers. I did not expected to ones so fast. @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.

dmzerocold Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 @Catweazle Better one of the developers comment on this point , but AFAIK it is install on Windows 10 based on standard windows 10 app procedure... and not as a program ... short story it should be safer than normal programs (risk is less) dont worry , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
