    Description

      [12:57] <@chemelli> why not to give a user 3 uninstall options:
      [12:58] <@chemelli> 1. only executable no data
      [12:58] <@chemelli> 2. normal uninstall like now
      [12:58] <@chemelli> 3. deep uninstall ( like the one done by my script )
      [12:58] <@chemelli> ?
      [13:01] <chefkoch> only executable no data , would be?
      [13:01] <chefkoch> only the install direcotry?
      [13:02] <@chemelli> the same as now, when you ask to remove ProgramFiles but not ProgramData
      [13:02] <@chemelli> so mainly I suggest to add a 3rd option to the two that we already have
      [13:02] <chefkoch> yeah, k, i understand
      [13:03] <@chemelli> would be possible ?
      [13:03] <chefkoch> i think so
      [13:03] <chefkoch> just need to add a thrid option button and assign yet another uninstall section to it ;)
      [13:04] <chefkoch> in that section we could call any deleting task we want to
      [13:04] <@chemelli> fine
      [13:04] <@chemelli> you have a copy of my script ?
      [13:04] <chefkoch> not sure
      [13:04] <chefkoch> is it on ftp`?
      [13:04] <@chemelli> nope, let me give you the thread link
      [13:05] <chefkoch> could you also please create a mantis issue for that?
      [13:05] <@chemelli> of course
      [13:06] <@chemelli> http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/improvement-suggestions-46/full-directory-cleanup-during-uninstall-31291/
      [13:06] <chefkoch> thx
      [13:06] <@chemelli> will create mantis entry after lunch. Wife calling...later
      [13:08] <chefkoch> np


      h4. Steps to Reproduce
      Install a very old version of MP and then try to upgrade: some files are left in the VirtualStore and so you may have some very nasty side effects, like splashscreen with wrong info.
