Of Uninstallers and Providing Them

A tip for all those who develop applications for Personal Computers:

Please provide uninstallers.

It’s a lot easier uninstalling the application from the Start Menu -> Programs folder rather than having to go to the Control Panel and performing the same operation. :-)

  1. They definitely should! I have had my share of problems trying to uninstall applications which don’t come with uninstallers.

  2. PizzaDude : Aaah. Glad to note that someone in this world shares my opinion. :-)

  3. Our primary objective of writing software apps is to invade your computer and rule the world forever . Who in right mind would give you an uninstaller? Keep dreaming!

  4. You’ve always got the appwiz.cpl command to drift to the Add/Remove programs directly…

  5. Bharath: Yes, I see it now from your perspective. :-)

    Srikanth: That’s exactly what I want to avoid. :-)
