This release has a new uninstaller routine, which should just delete everything that's shipped (assuming that fontconfig.reloc was properly closed previously) -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen LilyPond Software Design -- Code for Music Notation http://www.lilypond-design.com ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

With Lilypond 2.9.18 also the folder \usr\var remains.f I've switched on logging for the Mingw installer. Can you (un)install 2.9.18 with /s when it comes out? This will generate an installation log, which will hopefully provide some clues. I did this. The logfile is attached. The problem is that the folder \usr\etc can't be deleted because the file "fontconfig.reloc" is in use.

In \usr\var it is the folder "fontconfig" that could for an unknown reason not be deleted. This is really strange. The only program using that should be lilypond.exe itself. Please investigate. Btw. I noticed that you are using Python 2.4. Perhaps an update to python 2.5 could be an advantage. Then you need at least less files to ship with the installer so it becomes a bit smaller. usually newer releases get bigger, I'd expect the contrary. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen LilyPond Software Design -- Code for Music Notation http://www.lilypond-design.com ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

various Lilypond 2.9 Win-uninstaller problems
Hello Lilyponders, I tested the latest Lilypond 2.9.16 for Windows and found out that it is not correctly uninstalled. After uninstalling it the following folders remain: \usr\etc \usr\lib and its subfolders. The installation directory should completely be removed. The following registry entries remains: - HKCU\Applications\lilypond-windows.exe HKLM\Applications\lilypond-windows.exe and its subfolders - The Start menu entry for Lilypond under HKCU - the file extension ".ly" is kept registered in HKCU Please remove these entries when uninstalling Lilypond, especially the kept file extension may later cause problems. Lilypond also left some other registry entries in python registry settings, please also have a look of what can be removed there. To assure that you took care of all entries search the whole registry after you uninstalled Lilypond. thanks and regards Uwe ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
