Ace Pilot Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I noticed that there is now an "Uninstall Combat Mission Afrika Korps" in the start up menu. CMBB and CMBO didn't have this feature because all you needed to do was delete the CMBB or CMBO folder. Is this no longer the case? Or was the uninstall feature added because most games have it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 It's probably there because they use a custom intaller, the CDV version of CMBB was the same. I've noticed that when people release 3rd party mods for other games, such as MS Flight Sim, that use shareware installers, they will also set up an 'uninstall' option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Pilot Posted December 6, 2003 Author Share Posted December 6, 2003 Thanks for the info, Firefly. So, will just deleting the CM folder remove everything like it did with CMBO? Or do you need to use the uninstall option to get rid of things outside the CM folder? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, to be honest, it depends if the installer set up stuff in other areas such as the registry, or shared dlls etc. I'd use the uninstall option to be on the safe side, unless BFC tell us something different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 You should now use the uninstaller that comes with the game to remove CMAK. Unlike CMBO and CMBB, CMAK does make one small registry entry and that will allow us in the future to *hopefully* make any patches install without you having to tell it where CMAK is located. You can also remove CMAK using Windows Add/Remove Programs feature in the control panel. Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-E Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Wait a minute. My registry is getting bigger because I might forget where I installed CMAK if/when I patch it? (Do you really think that is going to happen for the majority of CMAK players? *grin*) [ December 07, 2003, 05:01 AM: Message edited by: -E ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
