Uninstall executable removes directories

The installer currently installs the executable to C:\SystemTest\Program\SystemTest.exe
The installer also creates directories C:\SystemTest\TestLogs and C:\SystemTest\CsvFiles
I found that if I uninstall the program, through Control Panel, that C:\SystemTest\TestLogs and C:\SystemTest\CsvFiles directories are deleted.
We don't want the TestLogs directory to be deleted.
What settings do I put in the AppBuilder to change this?

A better solution in that case is to have the application check on startup if the directories exist and create them if they are not there!

In the default php.ini is set open_basedir which limits work with php only to few directories (and directories bellow them). There is set /srv/http, /home,/tmp and /usr/share/pear by default.
To allow your vhost you should add /data/www or set empty value.

I can't uninstall or remove FExplorer aplication on my nokia E63.
does it need a tool or something to remove it?
please reply.

Your system details list doesn't show the Flash Player plugin, so it is likely that you managed to uninstall Flash.
Now you need to install the latest Flash version.
You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page.
*http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these in case of problems.
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

The back button won't activate till the second change. I have uninstalled and removed all directories for firefox still won't work after reintall

I have firefox 3.6 installed and have been using it for years. All the sudden last week the back button wouldn't work till I go to the second web address change. For example if I start at forums.sagetv.com and select a post I can't hit the back button till I select another article. I have uninstalled firefox deleted all the directories, rebooted and reinstalled the problem still comes back.

I started having this EXACT same issue a few day ago. I found out that it was the McAfee site advisor causing the problem. Click the Tools drop-down and select add-ons. In the add-ons window, click the Extensions panel. Select McAfee and disable it.
Hope this helps, Arielle!

I uninstalled firefox, removed all traces of firefox "directories, registry entries" then installed v5 AND I get sqlite3.ddl is missing from your computer. Does firefox use sqlite3.ddl and js3250.dll?

I used v4 with no problems, upgraded to v5 and dll problems began. I installed an older version of firefox and noticed sqlite3.dll was part of the install. Ran the upgrade and the upgrade process removed sqlite3.dll.
I tried saving the sqlite3.dll from the v3 firefox install and placed it in the window/system32 folder. Firefox then reports an invalid entry point into sqlite3.dll and js3250.dll

You can't do that. Such files are for a specific Firefox version.
You need to do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

How to remove directories under Loops Search Setup?

Hi, I want to move my sound effects loops to an external firewire drive to free up 20+ GB. In Soundtrack Pro when I go into Loops Search Setup, where the list of Directories being indexed is displayed, the "-" icon at the top for "remove directory" is greyed out--no matter which directory I select. How do I get this to work?
Thanks.

Is there an answer to this issue? In the thousands of pages of manuals for FCS2, there isn't a single mention of this issue, and nothing online seems to turn up the answer. Could somebody, please, post how to do this!
Where the heck is a phone number to call Apple about their own software?

No option to uninstall Shockwave for director plugin

I want to get by without Adobe and have uninstalled all but am left with this shockwave for director plugin that only give options whether to activate or not. But I want it gone. How do I do that?

Thanks. The about:plugins way worked. I couldn't use the control panel as it didn't list the plugin.
Good to know this method as there are some other plugins that got installed that I don't think I need, or use, so I can declutter.

Itunes has stopped working. This comes up everytime I launch ITUNES. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, removed support programs reinstalled support programs, created different user and problem still persists. Quicktime and Safari launch fine. Just itunes.

Itunes isn't working properly. I get this message every time I try and open Itunes. I've uninstalled, reinstalled itunes and all the support programs. Quicktime and Safari launch fine. Tried it with Nortons antivirus turned on and turned off etc. I've gone through the Apple Support file and removed the itunes preference files, I've started in safe mode and it still persists. This only started about a week ago when I changed over to my Iphone 4s. My phone loaded fine and backed up etc and now NOTHING....

I had a similar error, but relating to a different .dll file and on 32-bit Win7. I think I isolated the problem to Norton Internet Security 2012 v 18.6.0.29 - iTunes would start fine with NAV Antivirus Auto-Protect disabled but crashed if Auto-Protect was on. I tried running iTunes as administrator (right click on the icon and select "Run as Administrator"; to make this permanent right click on the icon > Properties > On the Shortcut tab, click Advanced > tick Run as Administrator) and iTunes now runs fine. Maybe give that a try?

Missing Uninstall executable files

Hi there,
I am on a MAC.
I have a strange issue. No doubt is something I did wrong. Anyway, let me describe, step-by-step, what I recall that I did:
When Adobe launched Adobe CC suite I start uninstalling all CS6 applications (InDesign, PS and Illustrator). Then I opened CreativeCloud Desktop app. For my surprise there were no CC aplications. Only CS6. I installed Creative Cloud Removal Tool and uninstalled CC Desktop app also. Then I downloaded it again. Now all applications showed CC. Perfect. So, I choose English (and something in Hebrew) for InDesign and InCopy. I installed them. I switch to English (North America) and installed Bridge, Illustrator and PS.
Despite the fact that I have installed those two applications and they are running, in CC desktop app they seems like they are not.
The PS, Illustrator and Bridge are installed from English (North America),
... but it looks like they are not. It appears only Bridge and Acrobat Professional.
At this point, CC desktop app is not showing me any application as being installed except for Bridge. And to make it even strange, none of the InDesign, PS, Ill or InCopy have Uninstall option, just an Alias. When I click on Uninstall Illustrator, it says: Delete Alias, Fix Alias, OK.
So, I start Adobe CC cleaner tool. For my surprise when I selected to show me all Adobe products, it shows me only those applications:
Then I selected to show me only CC and CS6 products, and here we go:
At this point I intended to uninstall all CC products and make a clean instalation of InDesign, Illustrator, PS and InCopy from English (Hebrew). Not to mention that in User/Preferences I still have a lot of things from previous applications though I checked remove preferences when I uninstalled CS6.
But I cannot do. Any suggestions? Maybe a little help from Adobe engineers?
Thank you.
Sebastian

Yes. The files are in there. I am currently working/using InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop. But the uninstallers are missing:
I also looked in Utilities for those uninstallers. here is what I've found:
All are simple Alias:
Despite all these, I am working with any of those applications:
The thing is that on my wife's computer, using her Adobe license I installed CC from English (Hebrew). All applications. These days she received several updates while I received none. Obviously something is not working right.
It was my error installing InDesign and InCopy for Hebrew while the rest are installed from English (North America).
Perhaps is just an error of CC desktop application.

How to Uninstall or Remove an Application

I have a few applications that I no longer want on my Mac. I am a recent convert from Windows where you would need to Uninstall the application and then read the warning messages about how Windows was not able to remove all the components blah blah blah...
I searched through the discussions and I think I saw that all you need to do is drag the application to the trash and it is gone. Can it really be that easy? Is that all there is to removing an application on a Mac?

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
Amnesia
Hazel
Automator
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Unable to uninstall or remove ADFS Service Proxy and Web Agents from Server 2012

I have a Server 2012 machine that's a primary host for company websites. An inexperienced developer (with FAR more access than he should've had; yes, epic fail) was able to install ADFS Service Proxy and ADFS 1.1 Web Agents (for SAML) on the server. He didn't
complete the configuration, realizing he'd over stepped his boundaries. He did install the rollup update 3 to ADFS though. However, now I'm unable to uninstall the components. It's not listed in the updates and the option to remove from Roles/Features is grayed
out.
Any help would be awesome!

Hi,
Thank you for your sharing!

Removing Directories in Connection Explorer

Under Locations->Databases->Oracle->'Schema Name'->Directories I have a directory that I want to remove. When I right click on it there isn't a delete option. I went into the schema itself in SQL Developer and deleted the physical directory yet it still shows up in Connection Explorer. How does one go about removing a directory that is no longer needed in Connection Explorer?

I've actually tried to unregister the location previously; as a matter of fact the location doesn't even exist anymore. I still don't have a delete option upon right click.
I tried unregistering a current location and then went to Connection Explorer to see if I could then delete this Directory and I can't do that either.

How do you uninstall or remove custom alert sounds?

I'm using an iMac and I thought I'd try out some new system alert sounds. I hated them and now I can find them to delete them. The alerts show up in system peferences but they're not in the library/sounds folder. I've done a spotlight search for the sound names and nothing come up. Is there a way to remove/delete/uninstall custom system alerts? Help! I hate them!

I have Lion, but run Snow Leopard and always forget that many are forced into Lion.
When you open Finder, do you see the Macintosh HD in the sidebar under Devices?
If not, go to Finder Preferences and check the box next to Hard disks and External disks.
Then select the Mactintosh HD and navigate to the Library / Sound Folder...
