The real problem is that the data (projects) is stored with the program! How many times have users complained about the default situation of having data folders stored in the program folder. At least in Legacy we can change it, but not with PE. That is why there is a danger of losing data when you uninstall the package.
Sorry, but I'm distinctly unimpressed. The package seems shoddily put together and the free version is really only a "come-on" to buy the full version. I decided to uninstall the package and not only did I have to then remove the folders left behind but also run CCleaner twice to remove all the "dross" left behind.

I suspect the original reason for not doing this was a bit of paranoia that some users could get mixed up and delete it without thinking it through. But if the explanation is good enough we would hope that wouldn't happen, right? An option to back up the projects first, like you said, should make it safe enough. I'll pass this idea on. Thank you for your comments.

(File type, like PDF etc.) Thanks, > Jon > Jon, Why could you not add a step whereby either the user is given a choice whether or not to delete all folders associated with Passage Express or at the very least an option to backup all folders befroe a complete and proper uninstall is performed. -- Ron Bernier Legacy User Group guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ For online technical support, please visit http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ For online technical support, please visit http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines can be found at: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp To find past messages, please go to our searchable archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ For online technical support, please visit http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe please visit: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
