Help, program won't uninstall...

[slicemaster]

well, as the subject describes, i cant uninstall a program that does not work in wine. the program is "AutoStreamer" but it will not work in wine, so i wanted to remove it. i went to the wine uninstaller app and tried but it doesn't do anything. i was wondering if there is a way to manualy remove the program and all its registry entries.

peace.

The simplest way is to delete the wineprefix and start over:

Code: Select all

rm -rf ~/.wine

[slicemaster]

could you please explain exactly what that does?

It deletes ALL your installed programs in wine, in one blow. However it does not delete the shortcuts created in your start menu.

Uninstalling is something that is a low priority for Wine developers. You can easily remove all programs installed under Wine with 'rm -rf ~/.wine'. Note this removes _ALL_ programs installed under Wine. If you have multiple programs that you don't want to remove you should use separate WINEPREFIX for each program. 'man wine' for more detailed explanation about WINEPREFIX.

now doing that will delete all the programs, and their associated files and not just reset the configuration right...

thanks

Hey guys!

My first post got blocked as spam, but it was a serious message.

I was having trouble uninstalling programs (The whole BS (MS) Office package through Wine in Ubuntu, and this thread helped me uninstall the whole thing! So I just wanted to say thanks because I often do that when a thread online helps me! Not spamming!

love
