Power Tools 2010 is NOT listed in the Windows' Add/Remove Software feature within the Control Panel.


Power Tools 2010 also does NOT have a "uninst000. exe" file.


Rather, it has a "uninstall.exe" file in a separate "Uninstall" folder. But when you run it, it gives an error message: "Invalid start mode: archive filename."


What's up?

Please scroll back in "Board Index" -> "Development" ->"Beta testing" -> "jv16 PowerTools 2010 RC1 (latest build: 961)" page 25.

These errors have been reported already!

The program is not listed under the Add/Remove Software feature if you have unchecked "Add to Add/Remove Software" option when you installed the software. The option is enabled by default.

That's correct and it sucks. This is, I'm afraid, a feature or limitation of the installation system we use. We have addressed this issue for the next released build by automatically generating an Uninstall shortcut to the installation directory of the program that executes the Uninstall.exe with the correct parameters.


If you wish to uninstall jv16 PowerTools, you can just delete its installation directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\jv16 PowerTools 2010).
