Will uninstal remove all files from my PC if I
choose not
to keep your program?
1) If the program has been installed from the
downloaded installation file then
using the uninstall feature removes all files installed that can be
safely removed. Also registry entries specific to program function are
removed.
1.1) Certain application extension (dll) files, which
may be locked by
the operating system, are only deleted when your system is re-booted.
Also if you have installed another of our applications that share these
files they will not be removed.
1.2) Any individual file created by yourself in the
BySchool directory
will not be removed such as saved Preview report files. But please
note, data you create within the database will be removed.
1.3) If it was necessary, during installation, to update
a system
application extension file on an early Windows system (such as
win95 and some win98 systems ) in line with
MicroSoft's upgrade policy, then this upgraded dll will remain and your
PC system and you will continue to benefit from
the upgrade. Also if you subsequently install another application that
uses the Borland Database then the other program's setup, in line with
Windows standards, should mark the files in registry as shared and
therefore our uninstall facility will not
then removed these files.
2) If a downloaded self extracting file is used then
files are
extracted to your PC's designated temporary directory as per Windows
standards. Usually named c:\windows\temp or c:\temp or in the case of
XP pro (NT5) etc a much longer string. These files
are sized to facilitate copy to usb or floppy drives, after extraction
is
complete then the installation proceeds as per (1) above, these files
are not removed by the uninstall feature.
Any files created in your system's temp directory may be deleted
without adverse affect on your PC, if your hard drive starts to have
limited free space then your system should automatically ask if you
want to delete files from your Temp directory as
well as your recycle bin. Usually you would respond Yes without any
functional concerns.
