Re: [LegacyUG] Uninstalling an older version of Legacy

2019-07-24 Thread Robin McCarthy 
There are programs, like the free version of CCleaner, that will zero out the 
empty spaces on your hard drive.

I too am preparing to get rid of a Netbook running Windows XP and that's what 
I'm doing to it.

Thanks Cathy,

That worked a treat.

I  think  this  laptop  will  hit  the  trash  before  my  flight back
home.

Thanks for the great advice, and hope it helps others too.

2019-07-23 Thread Cathy Pinner 

David,
Try a Clean Uninstall.
Go to the Program Files (x86) for Legacy
Find RemoveLegacy.exe
Right click and run as administrator.
That should remove Legacy completely apart from your data files. It 
removes settings and removes all references to it in the Registry.

I have an older version of Legacy (version 8.0.0.596) on a much older 
small netbook computer.


Going overseas soon and wanted to remove all trace of the program 
before I go, but am getting an error when I try and uninstall.

I'm told "Could not open Install.Log file."

The computer is running Windows XP Home at the moment.

The thing is that old, I only need it to send and receive emails and 
browse for hotels when convenient.


Deleting the data files etc is no problem of course, but I want to 
remove the program too if possible.


Just wondered if a solution is apparent to anyone ?

Thanks
