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 VoyagerIf 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.
