Summary
Running the standard Windows
Uninstall removes the vast majority of Voyager but does not remove all of
it. This procedure removes all program files, user settings (plane and
pilot information, etc), registry keys and other configuration.
Symptoms
Registry entries, flight plans
and user-configuration information are left behind. Occasionally, this
causes a problem when trying to install a newer version of Voyager.
If this is the reason for doing the full
uninstall, please contact Seattle Avionics support at +1.425.806.0249 before
using this procedure as we are usually able to suggest a solution that does not
involve erasing configuration information.
Workaround
1. Close Voyager
if it's running.
2. Do a standard Windows
Uninstall, using the Control Panel (Start/Control Panel)
3. Using either My
Computer or Windows Explorer, go to c:\program files\Seattle
Avionics and delete the Voyager folder, if it's still there (might
not be). You can even delete the Seattle Avionics folder if you
like.
4. Delete the
user-configuration information
Quick version: Open
c:\documents and
settings\<Your Name>\Application Data\Seattle Avionics. Delete the
Voyager folder. You could also delete the whole Seattle
Avionics folder if you want to delete all your IFR procedures (they're in
the Common folder).
Detailed version: Open
c:\documents and settings then open the folder with the name of the
current user. Usually that's your name or, sometimes, Admin. Within
that folder, you may see an Application Data folder. If not, it's
because Windows normally hides the folder. To see it select Tools/Folder
Options while the current folder is open. Pick the View tab and
scroll the list down to see something like Hidden Files and Folder.
Set it such that these folders are displayed.
5. From the Windows Start
button, click Run and type the following: regedit
[enter key]
6. Expand the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER node (click the + before this name) and expand the
Software node under it then the Seattle Avionics node. Delete the
Voyager node. Close
RegEdit.
7. If you want to delete the
flight plans, too (they are small so there is no real need to):
Open
c:\documents and
settings\<Your Name>\My Documents\Flight Plans
From the View menu in Windows, select Arrange
Icons By Type
Delete all the .FP (Flight
Plan) and .WBS (Weight and Balance) files. You can also delete
any .PlatePack files if you no longer use the SmartPlates module.
