Uninstalling Borland C++ 4.52

[Mike_Gore]

I have the old Borland C++ 4.52 installed on my computer. Before removing it with the inefficient method of manually deleting the folder and then searching the registry for relevant keys, I would like to know if there is an uninstaller or a better method to completely remove this version of Borland C++.

Thanks in advance

I take it the manual tells you to do it this way?

Either way, manual or not, I think you overestimate what needs doing, and I doubt there will be any trace in the registry.

I expect all you need to do is delete the folder in program files or whatever and remove the environment variable probably pointing at your Borland C++ 4.52 bin folder.

There is usually no need for IDE's and compilers to put anything in the registry, it would generally be overkill. I think most shy away from shell integration too don't they? anyhow...

Remember to point .cpp .h file extensions at a new program.

Borland C++ 4.52 is a 16-bit application.

As such, it doesn't know about the 32-bit registry.

It may write to the system.ini file or windows.ini file (if one exists).

Look for these two ini files in the windows root folder and see if there are any Borland related entries.

Other than that you can just delete the Borland install folder and remove any program shortcuts.
