| Summary | 0004187: (De)Installer removes files added by user | ||||
| Description | During deinstallation of previous version of Scibus ALL files are deleted, even added by user. I have uninstalled 1.3.3.3 to install 1.3.3.4cvs and I have lost one script modified by me (with different name than original). (De)Installers for previous versions of Scribus have left the script and directory it's been placed in. | ||||
| Additional Information | All versions (1.3.3.3 and below) clear main Scribus dir, so I have to add gdiplus.dll everytime I install new Scribus' version. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| Patch | No | ||||

As long as NSIS does not provide a convenient way of doing so, this is a won't fix, i will just add a warning for now. If you want to avoid reinstalling gdiplus.dll, just place it in your Windows\system32 directory. For your information also, preferences allows you to specify a custom script directory. |
