Clean uninstall of BHAH?

[Doughboy]

Would someone please create a Sticky post that details the correct process for uninstalling the BHAH mod (and CFS3) from ones computer?

 

I'm tying to clean up some HD space and I intend to put it back on, but it seems that I find folders in a few places other that Program files /Miceosoft/CFS3 ect...

 

I just want to clean up and reinstall my flight sims on one drive.

 

Thanks Gents

This is how I'd do it (anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or missed anything):

 

1. Use the Uninstall feature in Control Panel to remove CFS3 (Vista: Control Panel -> Programs and Features. XP: Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs).

 

2. I believe you can just delete your BHaH directory.

 

3. Then go check your PC for leftover directories for CFS3 and BHaH. On my PC (Vista64) I have files/directories in these directories. (Maybe someone with an XP install can add in the directories for XP?)

 

· C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Combat Flight Simulator 3

 

· C:\Games\BHaH (my chosen BHaH install directory, yours may be different)

 

· C:\Users\<your PC name>\Documents\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields

 

· C:\Users\<your PC name>\Documents\Combat Flight Simulator 3.0

 

· C:\Users\<your PC name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields

 

· C:\Users\<your PC name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Combat Flight Simulator 3.0

 

Delete any of these directories/files that remain.

 

4. Then I'd run a program like CCleaner to go and remove any Registry entries (CCleaner allows you to save a copy of your registry and you should!) and reboot.

 

NOTE: One thing I did notice was that I do actually have an entry in my Vista: Control Panel -> Programs and Features to remove the last patch (patch 9 V1.30c) so I'm assuming others may as well. So the question to Polovski is should the patch(es) be removed first, then the BHaH directory?
