[QUOTE="jv16, post: 1051021, member: 98343"] Don't you have PowerShell installed in your system? Since it's a standard part of Windows, Uninstalr assumes all installations have it. But I shall add a check for that. It is used in one module of Uninstalr, but there is also a fail-safe mechanism in case PowerShell fails, so it's not absolutely required. In some cases, the uninstall.exe of apps does weird things, such as actually creates files, folders or registry data. Yes, I know, the mind boggles. I would like to sit down in that meeting where someone is explaining that their app's uninstaller needs to [B]create[/B] data during uninstallation. To take that into account, the "this data will be removed if you uninstall this" view in Uninstalr will sometimes include paths that do not exist at the time, but could be created during the uninstallation and hence they are listed as paths that will be also removed (if they are created by the app to be uninstalled).
