If you try that out please let me know what you think. https://bru.st/i/emacs-29.2.50_bug%2358756-installer.exe Note, this is based on the "tip" of the emacs-29 branch, and not built from the release sources for no other reason than expediency: I am running a CI locally so I can easily test changes to the NSI installer without (especially) compiling other things. And that also means I'm quite open to trying things, if we come up with more adventurous changes than those proposed here. Reprising your original expectations: > =E2=80=A2 Uninstalling emacs should remove the Start Menu directories, cr= eated during installing emacs. This is fixed, I believe, however a bug remains (I will file a new bug given we wind up taking things in pieces, as I'm suggesting): customizing the name of the Start Menu folder isn't working for me with or without this patch. Meanwhile: > =E2=80=A2 Installing emacs should ask to first remove the previously inst= alled emacs version, as long as it does not do inplace upgrade (substitutio= n). Per this patch I did not add any Sections or controls, however a given uninstaller will no-longer delete any other versions beside the one it installed. I am open to better and more dramatic changes, but I think it might make sense to work in stages, perhaps under quite granular bug reports. In any event, I expect to "work my way up" to any more complex changes needed to the NSI script incrementally. Stefan, I think the attached minimal change, plus the other patch for not needing to "accept" licensing in 67667 (which tracker I've added in CC), would be a good basis for making a 29.2_2. Ideally, we could push these two and then I will create a 29.2_2 set. From there, I'll probably focus on improving things for the 30.1 series pre-tests notwithstanding "show stoppers" with the top-of-stack 29.x binaries. I can work on (each of) this smaller changes as much as needed, but I'd like to keep the installer simple while we do. (E.g. defer adding any new Sections/pages or controls we can live without until Emacs 30.) As an example of something not addressed by the patch, only the mostly recently installed Emacs can be uninstalled. To address that will require giving each uninstaller a unique name as part of creating it under the installation target directory. I'm fairly confident I'll get that right, but I'm not as confident as I am of the one attached. Moreover, I would prioritize fixing the issue of (potentially) deleting several installed versions without mentioning (which, =D0=94=D0=B8= =D0=BB=D1=8F=D0=BD, thank you again for reporting that that is happening).

=D0=94=D0=B8=D0=BB=D1=8F=D0=BD,  I have created an installer based on the=

you think=2E

https://bru=2Est/i/emacs-29=

Note, this is based on the=
 "tip" of the emacs-29 branch, and not built
from the release sources fo=
r no other reason than expediency: I am
running a CI locally so I can ea=
sily test changes to the NSI installer
without (especially) compiling ot=
her things=2E  And that also means I'm
quite open to trying things, if w=

changes than those proposed here=2E
<=

=E2=80=A2 Uninstalling emacs =
should remove the Start Menu directories, created during installing emacs=

This is fixed, I believe, h=
owever a bug remains (I will file a new bug
given we wind up taking thin=
gs in pieces, as I'm suggesting):
customizing the name of the Start Menu=

with or without this patch=2E  Meanwhile:
=E2=80=A2 Installing emacs should ask to first remove the previously in=

To confirm, the goal would be to remove any *broken* shortcuts, I think. (We do not currently create submenus unless the user specifies the pathing manually.) We might also consider deleting older uninstallers, however I'll come back to this point. If that is correct, a question would be if we can confine ourselves to looking at the user's selected Start Menu folder, during install, or if we should instead traverse the user's entire Start Menu hierarchy looking for broken shortcuts to runemacs.exe (and maybe old uninstallers), and deleting them. Yet another option here would be scanning for older versions and asking what to do with them. This would be more of my preferred option, however I don't expect to be fast creating and testing a net-new feature created in a language I'm just learning, for this work. I guess I'll be racing to be ready for Emacs 30.1 pretests, if we take all that on. For this reason (there are much better solutions but I cannot create and test them quickly), I think we should apply what we have so far and I should produce a new set of binaries which installer will not unconditionally uninstall older Emacs versions. Users who want to delete things can do so, but an unexpected recursive delete feels like a very serious problem. Do you have reservations, Eli?
