Greetings.

My above described blunder occurred during the course of trying to move all my DXLab applications from a Windows 7 machine to a new machine operating with Windows 11 Pro. It then became painfully obvious that I could not reinstall the applications on the new machine. I understand from Dave's comment in another threat that that inability to reinstall is due to my having left Windows in an inconsistent state.

Is there any way to somehow eliminate or reconcile the inconsistency so I can successfully reinstall the DXLab applications on the new machine?

Thankfully, everything remains intact and operational on the Windows 7 machine.

Thanks & 73.

+ When you delete an installed DXLab application's folder, you remove the "installation manifest" that Windows requires in order to gracefully uninstall the application.

+ Are the deleted folders till present in the new machine's "Recycle Bin"? If so, direct Windows to restore one of them, and then direct Windows to uninstall that application. If that succeeds, apply the same procedure to recover and then uninstall the remainder.

+ Otherwise, the only clean choice is to save all critical files to another storage device, wipe the C: drive, re-install Windows, and reinstall your applications.

+ Application uninstallers are not trustworthy, in my experience.

+ To move your DXLab applications to your new system, follow these step-by-step instructions:

Dave, thanks a million!!
Restoration from the Recycle Bin was successful. A subsequent uninstall and install were successful. Having performed 1-4 of the step-by-step instructions last weekend and having performed 5 a little while ago, it looks like I'm back on tract to complete this project (successfully, I hope!).
