4.6.12 Libero Installation Registry File Shows Uninstalled Directories
(Ask a Question)Symptom: The Libero installer dialog shows existing installation instances that had been uninstalled.
Cause: The Libero installer keeps installation instances in its registry
file kept at the user home location by the name
.com.zerog.registry.xml. After each
instance is uninstalled, the instance properties lines in the
registry file do not get deleted as expected. Upon subsequent
installation, the installer shows the previous installations
still exist.
Resolution: Remove the installation properties lines in the registry file.
