Cleaning up registry keys in the uninstaller is a great idea, if only because a completely cleaned out system is necessary for troubleshooting sometimes.

Can you give a summary of what registry keys the installer makes?

Do you also want to clear out tasclient registry keys in the uninstaller?

The game settings registry is an registry that has been left behind by the uninstaller, so I assume that they're other registry files that haven't been deleted by the uninstaller.

Yes (If any)

You want it to delete the settings files in application data? There could be an option for that.

That and the option to delete every registry that has been installed from the spring installer. (If any)

It makes some for the .sdf file association to spring.exe, and the .sd7 and .sdz association to ArchiveMover.exe.

Don't think there are more.

Some inherited from older installations for settings?
