Cannot uninstall old versions [message #2427]

I've installed DataWarrior 4.7.3 on Windows 10 some years ago with the .msi. Now I'd like to upgrade to the 6.1 version but I cannot remove the old one because I'm missing the installation file.
Is there an archive or some other way to have the old msi released?

Thanks,
Livio

Did you try opening the Control panel, then open the add/remove software section and try removing DataWarrior there? For me this usually works without msi. In addition you may have to locate "C:\Program Files" and delete the "DataWarrior" directory inside it.

If that doesn't work, I could provide an old msi for version 4.7.2 that you probably could use. Please let me know, whether you would need the 64 or 32 bit version.

Hi Thomas,

I tryed to uninstall from Control panel but the procedure asks for the installation msi. Could you please share the 4.7.2 msi?

Thanks,
