Re: [Dev-C++] I cant uninstall Dev-C++

[Alfred P. R. <al...@ya...>]

This installation should not have modified the registry, to my knowledge.  So it would be a simple matter to just delete the top dev-cpp folder and also all of the flies that are in the documents and settings section of the c: drive (if that is where it is installed).  So search for "dev*" files from the root of the c: drive (c:\) and delete those files.  There should be 4 files, including a cache file and an ini file, if I remember correctly.  So when you find devcpp.ini (I'm doing this from memory, not from a current installation, BTW, so the name may be off), look in that folder for further files that are related to dev-cpp, and delete those.
   
  With respect to version 4.9.x, it attempts to register itself in the registry, but works fine without that occurring.  In the system configuration I use, the registry is write protected at my privilege level, so I'm not sure what dev-cpp is trying to write in the registry.
