Can't uninstall 2.2.4

Post by ahopper »

Hi, folks-

I just upgraded to 2.2.4 and had some weird hangs with my wireless networking adapter, so I attempted to uninstall so that could go back to the older version. However, I have discovered that I cannot install VBox. I recall there was some uninstallation issues with a previous version but can't find the specific thread. Has anyone else seen this issue?

Thanks

I believe I may have found the issue; the registry value for UninstallString was incorrectly set to use the /I switch instead of /X. When I ran the same command line replacing /I with /X, it was exorcised.
