Help with uninstall

[icyenvy]

Hi,

Thank you for creating this project! Unfortunately I need to remove it from one of the machines and I do not find any entry in the add/remove programs. Caan anyone help me with the right way to remove the program?

Many Thanks

You can probably see it on your Programs Folder under the Local Disk

It should be listed to remove in Control Panel >> Apps & Features as "SVG Explorer Extension". If it's not there try just running unins001.exe in C:\Program Files\SVG Explorer Extension.

To manually uninstall you can try:

1. Open an administrative command prompt window
2. Unregister the DLL
3. navigate to "Program Files\SVG Explorer Extension"
4. follow the install instructions part about killing explorer.exe
5. delete contents of "Program Files\SVG Explorer Extension"
6. restart explorer.exe

Example (untested):

regsvr32.exe /u "C:\Program Files\SVG Explorer Extension\SVGThumbnailExtension.dll"
pushd "Program Files"
TASKKILL /IM explorer* /F
DEL "%localappdata%\IconCache.db" /A
RMDIR /s "SVG Explorer Extension"
explorer.exe

Actually, first try just running unins001.exe in C:\Program Files\SVG Explorer Extension

It should be listed to remove in Control Panel >> Apps & Features as "SVG Explorer Extension". However to manually uninstall you can try:

1. Open an administrative command prompt window
2. navigate to "Program Files\SVG Explorer Extension"
3. follow the install instructions part about killing explorer.exe
4. delete contents of "Program Files\SVG Explorer Extension"
5. restart explorer.exe

Example (untested):

pushd "Program Files"
TASKKILL /IM explorer* /F
DEL "%localappdata%\IconCache.db" /A
RMDIR /s "SVG Explorer Extension"
explorer.exe

For the manual uninstall first you need to unregister the extension. From an admin console run: regsvr32.exe /u "C:\Program Files\SVG Explorer Extension\SVGThumbnailExtension.dll"
