A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look! A post from Mary

I just came across a copy of Publisher 2.0 and installed
it on my WinXP system to see what it was like. Now I want to uninstall it, but it doesn't appear to have an uninstaller and is not listed in Add/Remove Programs. The help files won't open, so if the instructions are in there, I can't read them. Can anybody give some guidance in how to uninstall this safely? Thanks! -- Stephen in NC |

Stephen you will have to remove it manually.
That was before the time of programs that would UN-install. |

That was before the time of programs that would UN- install. So I gathered. Can I just delete the MSPUB directory tree? What about the files it dropped into my Windows and Windows\System directories? Is it safe to assume that they did not overwrite anything important? (I haven't seen any adverse effects from having them yet, but who knows...) Thanks! -- Stephen in NC |

Stephen !"... So I gathered. Can I just delete the MSPUB directory tree? Yes. What about the files it dropped into my Windows and Windows\System directories? AFAIK, Publisher 2.0 didn't do that. Windows 3.x programs were surprisingly self-contained compared to today's programs. The only file it may have dropped is a file called MSPUB.INI -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://www.mvps.org/the_nerd/ Before reading this message, view the disclaimer: http://mvps.org/the_nerd/disclaim.htm |

The only file it may have dropped is a file called MSPUB.INI According to the README.HLP file (the only help-type file I can open), three files were put in Windows, ten in Windows\System, and a bunch more in eight subdirectories of Windows\msapps. I looked in some of these and did not see all the listed files, and saw some which appear to have about the same ancient timestamps but are not in the list, so the file list doesn't seem to be especially reliable. -- Stephen in NC |
