Jim, the more I think about it the more I'm coming to believe that the ksign
uninstall should only remove things it put there which were not there in the
first place. We were trying to simplify it for the users and if we give
them an option of removing the files that may be in use by Host Explorer or
something else they could do damage to themselves.
I should be able to check during the install for the prior existance of a
files in the directory, and if so to eliminate it from the Install.log.
When uninstall runs it will leave the prior files there, even though they
may have been changed to newer versions during the ksign install.
BTW, do you or anyone know if I can use a different name for INSTALL.LOG
with the Unwise program? I can't find anything in the book on that. If
not, we have a different problem in that all the Wise installers write an
install.log and uninstall will use the last one, assuming the others got
overwritten during the install.
Jerry
