Runtime

[Glynn]

In the process of developing an application, I have Packaged and burnt disks,
at various stages of the development, and tested out the live applications on
my PC.

I now have a number of applications in my Program folder that I cannot
remove because the 'Removal' requests me to insert the 'original' disk from
which the application was loaded. Unfortunately in the heat of battle, I
forgot to retain the 'original' disks - and now find my Program folder
cluttered with a number of separate old versions of the application.

Is there any other way of removing these embedded applicatioin files?

Yes there is a utility available from Microsoft which allows you to
manually delete items in the Control Panel >> Add or Remove Programs

I think it is the following as that looks familiar but I haven't
needed to use it for a while.

Thank you Tony - I loaded the Windows Uninstaller, and it worked fine -
getting rid of a whole clutter of old test packages.
