Re: Can't uninstall Synctoy powertoy

DB,

Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried several undelete utils but
with no success.

I re-created the requested temp folder and copied (and renamed, it's
looking for setup[1].msi) the setup filed into it - still no luck for
install or uninstall it can tell it's a newer version.

Only thing I can think of now is to get ahold of previous (1.2?)
version of setup.msi and try to repeat.

Thoughts?

no idea why this is so hard.... such a small program.....

Thanks in advance guys,

Rich

Re: Can't uninstall Synctoy powertoy

Synctoy 1.2 installer appears to be available for download here, . I don't know anything about that web site so use at your own risk, and for certain do a virus scan on the file first if you decide to try it.

Re: Can't uninstall Synctoy powertoy

Glad you finally got it worked out, I think it was a pretty frustrating experience.

Re: Can't uninstall Synctoy powertoy

Hi there,

I have the same problem (can't uninstall SyncToy 1.2, looking for the MSI file which I lost), but unfortunately I cannot find the installer at the link that was posted (that page seems to have disappeared). Could you email the installer to me please, or post it somewhere I can download it?

Many thanks,
Johan
