ZIP file (for example, APPCTRL2.EXE), you can install it as
follows: activate the Program Manager, select Run from the
File menu, type the full name of the file (for example,
C:\DOWNLOAD\APPCTRL2.EXE), press the Enter key, and follow the
prompts. When the SETUP program completes you can delete the
AppControl files in your temporary directory.
If you received this version of AppControl in a ZIP file, first
extract the files to a blank floppy, then activate the Program
Manager, select Run from the File menu, type A:SETUP-AC, press
the Enter key, and follow the prompts.
That's all You need to do for installation. AppControl
is now ready to use.
What is AppControl ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AppControl is an uninstaller for Windows. But not one of the usual
types of deinstallation utilities, which often delete files in the
uninstall- process, that may be used by several applications, just
because they did not check cross-links between files.
The old Windows-problem is:
"How can one track installations and make save deinstallations?"
The new answer to this question is AppControl. It will be Your
"installation eye" and "bugbuster". AppControl surveys every
installation of Windows software, searches for cross links between files,
catalogues them and makes the deinstallations, if You decide so.
The "Safe Check" software technology is exclusively used in AppControl.
The way AppControl works
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When You want to keep control of what an installation procedure is doing
to Your Windows - directories, you must keep an eye on:
- created files and directories
- modifications in "win.ini" and "system.ini"
- created groups and icons in Windows' program-manager
and that's exactly, what AppControl does for You. It logs any of
these modifications for preparing a clean removing of the according
application.
But AppControl does even more ...
"Safe Check" investigates all of Your drives (even network drives),
searches for certain Windows - files and cross-checks them for
connections between them and applications in Your system. These
connections then are being logged into the "Safe Check" - database for
further use.
These checked file types are: DLLs, EXE-files and VBX-files.
Files of that type, which are not EXCLUSIVELY used by an application You
want to uninstall, will NOT be deleted by AppControl.
To increase the uninstall safety even more, AppControl cross-checks
the application-database for files which are being used by several
applications and prevents the deletion of these critical files.
That's what lifts AppControl above other deinstallation tools. It
does not only clean up Your Windows system, it SAFELY cleans up Your
system, even if the installation program is DOS-based.
Words are spelled easy, but only the practice proofs the promises.
We recommend to test the reliability of AppControl. That's the best
promotion, because AppControl proofs itself to be one of the best.
If You don't need fancy buttons or a blinding interface but a REALY
reliable tool, then check out AppControl. And recommend it to other users
if You like it (we're sure You will).
