Can not uninstall MadCollection in Windows XP - SP2.

Post by Inter »

I am using Delphi 5 and Windows XP, Service Pack 2.

Every time I am trying to run "madUninstall.exe" I am getting the same error : "Deinstallation failed... Can't access registry. Please logon as Administrator".

E-mail : madshi@superbank.ru

But I am already logged in as Administrator! Please help to uninstall the MadCollection.

Now that's really strange!

You can do manual uninstallation like this:

(1) In Delphi close all projects.
(2) In the list of installed packages remove all mad* packages.
(3) In the environment options remove all mad* folders from the library and search paths.
(4) Remove the madCollection installation folder including all content.
(5) Remove both registry keys "HKLM\Software\madshi" and "HKCU\Software\madshi" and "\madCollection".

That's it. Sorry for the inconvenience!
