Uninstalling went wrong

Post by Giraffe »

I tried the Lite version to compare it with an old copy of PDF Factory Pro that I use. It works OK but I still prefer Factory, so decided to uninstall it.
All seemed to be OK and the printer driver disappeared, but then I discovered that the Editor had gone! Now, when I was asked if I wanted to remove the Editor as well I was extremely careful to choose No.
Also, the folder for Lite was still there - Editor's folder had gone.

I reinstalled Editor and it picked up all of my settings, so obviously it hadn't been fully uninstalled. I also had a backup of the settings, so this was only a minor inconvenience, but it really shouldn't happen.

Hi Giraffe,

Thanks for the post - I'll be sure to give this a test here and, if I'm able to reproduce the problem, will pass it to the Dev. Team to be fixed.

Thanks,

Thanks Will.
If it can't be repeated, let me know and I'll repeat the process as a check.

Hello Giraffe,

We managed to test this here at our end, and did reproduce the problem. So I've made a ticket:
#3129: Lite 313.1: Uninstalling it forces an uninstall of the Editor as well.
So that we can keep track of this and fix it in a timely manner.

Regards,
Stefan

Hi All,

Just a quick update that the issue with Lite uninstalling the Editor is now fixed. The fix will be available in the next build (314) - which does not have a fixed release date yet - but for now is planned at late August if all goes well.

Regards,
Stefan
