Hello,
I have installed Emacs on Windows using emacs-29.1_2-installer.exe . It has put
a folder named “Emacs 29.1” in the Start Menu. That folder has two icons
“Emacs” and “Uninstall”.
Then I installed emacs-29.2-installer.exe . It asks “Select the Start Menu
folder in which you would like to create program's shortcuts. You can also
enter a name to create a new folder” and the system suggests as name
“Emacs-29.2”. I «Close» to complete the setup with the suggested folder. Now
I have for each emacs version a separate directory under C:\Program Files\Emacs
.
I also have two Start Menu folders: Emacs-29.1 containing “Emacs” and
“Uninstall” and Emacs-29.2 containing only “Emacs”. I click on “Uninstall”.
It says “Emacs-29.2 will be uninstalled”, despite being in the 29.1 folder, but
it actually deletes the emacs-29.1 and emacs-29.2 files. After the
deinstallation the Start Menu folders “Emacs-29.1 and Emacs-29.2” are still
present.
• Uninstalling emacs should remove the Start Menu directories, created during
installing emacs.
• Installing emacs should ask to first remove the previously installed emacs
version, as long as it does not do inplace upgrade (substitution).
Kind regards
Дилян
