problems w. Tweak VI Installation

sbur73 · May 19, 2008

hi I need some help/assistance w. my repeated attempts to install the Tweak VI app. the installer indicates that I already have a copy of TVI installed in my system. But when I try to uninstall it I get *a lot* of these dialog boxes indicating that a file is not found and I keep on clicking an "Ignore" button over and over again but I could keep on clicking the button FOREVER but there would still be a lot more of these kind of files. DOes anyone know of a clean uninstallation of TVI which I could use to then be able to install another copy of TVI? ( I apologize if this is the wrong discussion group to post this msg. to. I just signed up with this MajorGeeks.com)

Go here http://www.totalidea.com/content/tweakvi/tweakvi-faq.html
scroll through the error messages and run through some of the fixes suggested by the developer.

As for clean uninstall, this is what the site says:

The uninstallation of TweakVI fails with an error message saying that the 'Uninstall file is invalid' or 'Failed to find uninstall data file'. How can I fix that?

This problem is caused by a damaged or missing uninstallation database.

Usually deleting the installation folder of TweakVI and all included files, then re-installing TweakVI followed by a direct uninstallation fixes the issue. Ensure that NO other programs are running in the background while installing and uninstalling TweakVI, as background processes could interfere with the TweakVI installer and uninstaller.

The usual installation folder is C:\Program Files\TweakVI\ but it can be different on your machine if you changed the default installation folder during setup.
