Description

On Windows XP Pro SP2. The uninstaller deletes all of the files in POPFile folder but it seems not to delete the shortcuts in the Start menu (e.g. 'Run POPFile' in the Startup folder, 'POPFile' folder in the Programs folder).

This is not a new problem with the setup-test-1.exe. The way in which the installer and uninstaller handles the Start Menu and the registry needs to be sorted out, especially now that Vista has added UAC to the mix.

setup-test-4.exe fixes this problem. There are two parts to the installer (setup.exe and adduser.exe) and two parts to the uninstaller (uninstall.exe and uninstalluser.exe). In the earlier releases there was a lot of duplicated code in these four parts. For setup-test-4.exe all four parts have been updated to remove this duplication and this reduces the chance that Start Menu shortcuts will be left behind when uninstalling.
