Uninstalling Game Editor... registration data?

Postby BeyondtheTech » Fri Apr 01, 2005 4:55 pm

I installed Game Editor at work first so I can test it out, but I want to uninstall it and remove my registration information from my work PC, but it's still on the PC even after I reinstall. Do you have a utility to clean out everything after a full uninstall?

I dont know about utils...
But if you want to delete the GE registry file, open the system registry (start>run>"regedit")
and on the side, open:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>GameEditor
There you can see the GE registry.

I don't see any entry for GameEditor, nor does a search pull up any relevant folder that contains my info. I just want it off the system without asking the techs reimaging my drive and my department asking why.

Hmm,
That is a bit odd.
My windows registry shows an entry for GE right where Will shows his. I wonder if you are actually unable to get access to the registry on your worksite computer?
Or.. if you have already uninstalled GE, maybe the uninstaller did actually remove the information in the registry. :?:

I just wiped out my home machine (installed/uninstalled too many apps) and reinstalled XP Pro followed by Game Editor Pro 1.2.8. Checked the registry and the alleged registry entry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GameEditor" is still not there.

You might have used a previous version?

I can understand that the developer may have wanted the registration data hidden somewhere on the hard drive or in the registry, so I don't care if I don't know the exact location, but can they make a quick uninstall utility that will remove all instances and references cleanly?

The last thing I need is tech support knocking on my door asking about unvalidated applications on my work PC.

Yes,
I've used GE since V1.0 so maybe the registry entry is from a previous version. I understand your situation. I wonder if Makslane would help you out. Maybe you could email him?
