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

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.
