Problem DELETING program

Post by williambuell »

I want to DELETE my current installation of CoPilot. When I try wine uninstall REMOVE, I get the message that the program is already installed. CoPilot does not provide an option to uninstall. I tried out of curiosity to RENAME the folder and reinstall an older version that may work better but still it would not let me install, so I renamed the folder back to its original name and CoPilot is still launchable.

How does one remove a program from WINE manually when there is no uninstall option?

Thanks!

'wine uninstaller' will bring up the add/remove programs.
or you could have deleted the CoPilot install directory then take out any reference to CoPilot in regedit or use something like CCleaner registry cleaner which will do it for you.
