Re: Message for: dpage - Mailing list pgsql-odbc

Hi Günter,

Please use the psql-odbc@postgresql.org list for psqlODBC support.

The Windows Installer doesn't store most of it's database in the registry, so removing programs like this in not
recommended.Why not download the version of psqlODBC it thinks you have installed (in Add/Remove programs, click on the
SupportInformation link assuming you have XP to check the version - I don't know about other versions of Windows). 

Failing that, look for msizap.exe on the Microsoft site. Iirc, it's part of the Windows Installer SDK. It will take a
productguid to remove all the relevant Windows Installer info from the system. I think the code you need is
{BD868C41-BB9B-4AA7-A3F1-DB1FA1A02610}.

Regards, Dave.
