2010-11-23 12:23:52 The Escapist description on Windows, the uninstallation routine seems to be deleting the whole GNUSim8085 directory, regardless of it containing changes to any files or even completely new files. This is a highly critical bug, as people could possibly use their source code/modifications this way. The right thing to do here would be asking the user if s/he wants to retain modified/new files, and to refrain from deleting directories that contain modifications or new files. This is the standard procedure used by other Windows installers. on Windows, the uninstallation routine seems to be deleting the whole GNUSim8085 directory, regardless of it containing changes to any files or even completely new files.
