With the GUI uninstaller. - This is only available when Vim was installed with the self-installing - executable. This has a minimal number of questions. It can delete - everything that was installed. This also unregisters the VisVim.dll - -2. With uninstal.exe. - This removes most installed items, but does not delete the files you - unpacked. - -3. By hand. - This is a bit more work, but you can decide exactly what you want to - remove. For uninstalling the "Edit with Vim" popup menu entry you still - have to use uninstal.exe. - -It's recommended to use the method that matches with how you installed Vim. -Thus if you installed Vim by hand, deleted it by hand. - -The first two methods should be available from the Add/Remove software window -and the Vim entry in the Start menu. If these have been removed already, find -"uninstall-gui.exe" or "uninstal.exe" in the Vim directory. - Running these programs should be self-explanatory. Carefully read the -messages to avoid deleting something you want to keep. - -Here are guidelines for removing Vim by hand: - -1. Remove the "Edit with Vim" popup menu entry, if it exists. This will only - be on MS-Windows 95/98/NT. This is done by running the uninstal.exe - program. It removes the registry entries for the "Edit with Vim" popup - menu entry. You only need to run uninstal.exe when you have installed the - menu entry. You can also run uninstal.exe from the Control panel with the - Add/Remove programs application. - Note that uninstal.exe offers you to uninstal other items. You can skip - this. - -2. Only if you have used the OLE version of gvim: Remove the registration of - this program by running "gvim -unregister" in a console window. - -3. Delete the executables. If you copied the executables to another location, - you will have to delete them from where you copied them to. If you don't - remember where they are, look in the directories from the $PATH environment - variable. - If you created .bat files when installing Vim, also search for vim.bat, - gvim.bat, etc. - -4. If you completely want to delete vim, and are not going to install another - version, you can delete the vimrc files that you created. These are - normally located in a directory like "C:\vim". If the $VIM environment - variable is set, it will tell the name of the directory. Normally you can - delete everything in this directory. Warning: You might have put some - files there that you would like to save. If you did remove it all, you can - skip the next step. - -5. Delete the distributed files. If you followed the directions, these will - be located in a directory like "C:\vim\vim54". If the $VIM environment - variable is set, the directory will be $VIM\vim54. Delete the "vim54" - directory and all that is in it. Warning: If you changed any of the - distributed files, or added some of your own files, you might want to save - these first. But normally you would not have changed or added files here. - -6. Remove setting the $VIM and $VIMRUNTIME environment variable and adjust - $PATH. $VIM only needs to be removed if you are not going to install - another version of Vim. $VIMRUNTIME is mostly not set. Check if $PATH - contains the path of the vim directory. Note that $PATH may be set in - several places, you will have to find the right one, and only delete the - Vim path from it. You can most likely find the lines that set $PATH, $VIM - and/or $VIMRUNTIME in C:\autoexec.bat. Under Windows NT you might need to - use the "System Properties" editor to change the environment variables, if - they are not in the C:\autoexec.bat file. You can start it by selecting - Start/Settings/Control Panel and then "System". - -7. If you added a Vim entry in the start menu, delete it. - -8. If you created icons for Vim on the desktop, delete them. - -Vim does not use .ini files. The above should remove all Vim files, except -the ones that you moved elsewhere yourself. |
