Anyone know how? Site appears to be a ghost land, it doesn't appear in the remove programs section of control panel and there is no uninstall executable in the program folder. ???

thanks

Delete the folder where you installed it to.

If you want to fully clean it, save the below as a .reg file and execute:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dgback]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dgfilter]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dgplugin]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dgscript]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.dgtype]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DatGen.file.dgback]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DatGen.file.dgfilter]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DatGen.file.dgplugin]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DatGen.file.dgscript]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DatGen.file.dgtype]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DatGen.file.package]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DatGen.file.sc4]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DatGen.file.sc4desc]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DatGen.file.sc4lot]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DatGen.file.sc4model]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SynapticEffect]

The creator claims you just have to delete the folder you installed it to, but do what Jordi said.

Thanks.
What does the file do exactly? I already have those lines in my registry, except,
DatGen.file.sc4
DatGen.file.sc4desc
DatGen.file.sc4lot
DatGen.file.sc4model

So will the file re-add them?

The registry file removes the strings, if they exist. They won't be added.

Thank you, it worked. :)

Is there some reason that one would want to be sure to kill it dead? ???

*KevinTMC still has DatGen installed, and it hasn't reached out and bit him yet...even though it's not extremely useful either...

Maybe because it hasn't been updated in ages, and doesn't do anything tools can't?
Theo's tool works. Datgen throws errors on half my packages.

More Awesome Than You!
