How do I remove a Windows 98 program that does not appear
on the Add/Remove Programs list???
Addition of an uninstall wizard anywhere isn't automatic for every
program - the program being installed has to provide that wizard.
Sometimes it provides a wizard, and puts it on the Add/Remove Program
list, sometimes it puts it in the program shortcut folder ("...Start
Menu \ Programs\ApplicationInQuestion" OR
"...Desktop\ApplicationInQuestion"). Sometimes there's no wizard
provided.
Sometimes, like Symantec applications, they provide an uninstall
wizard that doesn't do the job properly. You have to search their
website for additional documents that give you a list of registry
entries to delete, more utilities to download, etc. Fsckers.
With Win98, I still wouldn't just delete the folders that the
executable sits in. There might be *.ini files in \Windows somewhere.
Check with the manufacturer for instructions. Ask them why no
uninstall wizard.
