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).
