Hi TJ,
The uninstaller seemed to work as expected too. It showed up in Programs and
Features just as it should. All visible components of the program were
removed. I think you have done a great job.
Best regards from Ohio, U.S.A.,
Vic

Hello Vic,
Thank you for your valuable feed back concerning the BrailleBlaster
installer.
All of your comments are important and I will do my best to resolve all of
them.
Currently I am working on the uninstall option of the setup program.
As you can tell the installer is created by the Inno Setup compiler.
I am new at using the Inno Setup program, but I have grown to like it,
since I started using it about three weeks ago.
I hope to have another version by the weekend.
Again thanks for the comments,
TJ
