How to uninstall archivemover

Post by Licho »

It installed automatically with installer and disabled my existing association with sdz file without asking.

Now instead of opening directly in total commander it tries to move the file. Any idea how to fix?

Well problem is that doesnt work..
I dont know how was it associtated. I simply entered it as another folder in total commander.

If I associate it with zip it opens as zip folder, if I associate it with total commander it spawns new commander instance..

I could of course reinstall windows but instead spring installer should contain uninstall for that or at least ask before installing archivemover.

Did you try to open a directory, select Extras and directoy options and then the data types flag (note I use a german windows so I have no idea how the original terms are but you should know what I mean) and delete any assignment for the specific file types?

The installer does ask, you must have checked "easy content installer."

I got it working now using some hackish way. Its not as it used to be because i dont know what original association was, but does similar thing.

AFAIK uninstall should restore original associations, since it also makes a backup of the original ones at install. However maybe that gets borked if you install Spring multiple times.

Either registry or Folder Options -> File Types -> SDZ/SD7, should be in there.

By the way, assigning SD7 to the MultiArc packer plugin for TC makes SD7s browseable. Repacking doesn't work properly, though, it always puts stuff in the root. :(

I don't know about "restore" but it does unassociate from anything it previously associated with.

Oh I forgot, you need to remove the associations. Actually TC doesn't care about the extension as it looks the file header up.
