Here's what I think you can do to reproduce the issue.ġ. Let me know if you need any further information about my experience with this issue. Please note that I have experienced the exact same behaviour on 2 different machines running Windows 7 64-Bit, so reproducing it should easy. I request you to look into the matter, and release an updated setup for Windows, if possible. A broken installer / uninstaller is a serious problem. Uninstalling it from "Programs and Features" in the control panel doesn't display any errors, but it leaves all the files and shortcuts behind I had to delete the files from my installation folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks) manually after attempting to uninstall it from the control panel. I suspect "uninst.exe" in the installation directory would also need to be run "as Administrator" for a successful uninstall, but I haven't tried that myself. Even after running the new setup "as Administrator", Code::Blocks cannot be uninstalled from "Programs and Features" in the control panel. Obviously, something has changed / broken in the new installer (v12.11, MinGW Bundle) ! And it doesn't end there. You can try it out yourself, on any Windows 7 64-Bit machine. To put things in perspective, your own setup for Code::Blocks 10.05 does not have this problem - it installs correctly even without running it as Administrator. I have the exact same problem on my Windows 7 64-Bit box. Aravinthan is right about having installed numerous software packages without having to run their setups as Administrator. Don't dismiss this issue yet ! There's no magic here - the behaviour is highly deterministic and reliable. Morten, I disagree with your "Windows 7 Magic" comment.
