Oolite-PC installer sugestion

Post by Zorath »

Hi there... ok I feel kinda silly... but I accidentally hit the uninstall... and I found out that there is no confirmation on the uninstall it got rid of the game....

I guess the good thing is now I will defnatly get the new version :)


but can we have a popup asking if you really want to un-install or not ?

I did the same thing back when the uninstall procedure still deleted the whole folder, with addons and savegames included (PC version). Let's just say that I had never before looked for undelete and recovery programs as much as I did that day...

Nowadays, the PC uninstall luckily leaves the addons folder and the savegames folder intact! :)

Intentionally I would expect, so that old dodderers like me who struggle with idiot guides can't keep mucking it up. (goes off to ask daughter to programme the video!)
