Hi omega, long time no see. If you uncheck Options|Uninstaller|Log
"warnings" and "successful actions", I think the uninstall will be
successful. Martau knows as I've contacted him about a year ago about
this.
I just tested. Ran through about five of the problem .tun files that I'd
set aside. (I needed to turned off all logging checkboxes for testing on
those. This since the original entries relating to those installs no longer
existed in my registry, so it wasn't only successful action logging that
I needed to suppress, but the "not exist, fail" lines, too.)
This seemed to make a real difference. I was now able to run those .tun
through files through all the way, without first going through the tedious
workaround of unchecking different sections to reduce per-round processing
size.
Thank you for the excellent tip! =)
By the way, it did not make a difference on one of the problem .tun files
I'd tried just now. It was one where it turns out I'd misidentified the
problem, thinking this one a matter of too many reg entries to process --
when instead it was the other item which makes TUN crash during an attempted
uninstall. Funky chars in the reg keys, ones that TUN doesn't like. It's
from an installation of $Textpad. Some of the values there are not even any
kind of normal ansi. They show as garbage, little squares, when try to view
as text. Replace0 = ''
A long time ago, I'd made occasional attempt to take note on the type of
funked-up reg entries which made TUN stumble, but soon ended up not
bothering to expend the effort. Instead just removing any entries that
look to be giving it a problem, on a per-se basis, (deleting manually via
registry editor), and not taking notes.
I don't recall much really legit during the occasions. I don't know the
story exactly with $Textpad's problem, but other times, it was pretty
obvious that it was dumb slop on the part of some programmer. Using
question marks as part of key names, or forward slashes, or weirdo chars
from don't know where, maybe extended high ascii set, or maybe it was mars.
Slop like the example below, stupidly using the special forward slash to
name a settings key, it not merely makes TUN stumble, but it annoys the
heck out of me to have to even witness it:
[HKCU\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\Notepad And 1/2\Settings]

ps. When you disappeared, I decided to take a different alias on acf,
but now you're back!
I caught all acf articles from the year, including during the period when
not had time to engage in netnews, just that my reading was sometimes months
behind realtime. And my attention was caught by the Inspire posts, since
those were on subjects that much interest me, from a perspective I share
with you, and it was immediately clear that it was you speaking.
Are
you back to hang a while? Or are we only having a weekend rendez-vous?
Uncheck these two
