Uninstalling WFView on Windows 11

Installation Help
1

When wishing to back-level WFView on Windows 11, looking in settings, I see versions 2.03, 2.10 and 2.11 listed however NONE of them will uninstall from the Windows settings / Apps program

Going to the program directory and running the maintenancetool removes v2.11 however the other two versions are still listed by Windows as installed. This is most likely entries that are left in the registry.

Does this mean however, that before an upgrade we should de-install the previous version?

Thanks & 73 Ed DD5LP.

Yes, unfortunately the Qt-IFW (Installation Framework) that we use doesn’t correctly replace existing versions at the moment.

I have always advised that users remove previous versions first (configuration data is always retained)

Thanks Phil,
From what I remember, the early versions of WSJTx had the same problem. I had loads of versions of that program listed, and in the end, went through the registry and manually removed them.
