Remove uninstalled items from Wine Uninstaller

[AmanIsDude]

Hi all,

I have a peculiar problem. I tried installing Microsoft's .NET Framework, and the install never completed. So I completely removed all .NET Framework installs using the .NET Cleanup Tool (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archiv ... 04493.aspx), which seemed to work.

The only problem is that all the .NET Framework entries (including the language packs) for all the versions of .NET I installed are still visible in the Wine Uninstaller. Is there any way to remove these entries (and any possible remaining entries in the registry)? I want to do a clean install of the .NET Framework. Thanks for any assistance!

Thanks dimesio!

This is somewhat what I was looking for. Unfortunately, it removes all applications from the list. There doesn't seem to be a way to remove entries in selectively, is there?

My problem is that .NET successfully uninstalls, but leaves a bunch of garbage entries in the uninstaller's list. Thanks for any assistance.

You mean on your menu? Edit it manually.

No, the list of stuff in the Uninstaller menu (i.e., the garbage list of programs in the application that loads when you enter "wine uninstaller" in a terminal command line).

I have a bunch of .NET "language" packs that weren't removed when I uninstalled the .NET Framework.

Regedit?

You shouldn't bother uninstalling things in wine.. Finding what is
broken in a clean WINEPREFIX is hard enough...

(Learn how to use WINEPREFIX, it is a LOT easier than trying to manage
one prefix...)

Hmm... Thanks Gert!

I didn't know about WINEPREFIX. Guess I should have done a bit of reading. Thanks for enlightening me on this. I'll give it a try next time. ^_^"
