Uninstalling CineCast Software
If, at some point, you need to uninstall CineCast decoder system software,
always use the Windows Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs application.
Never manually remove any files installed by the installation process, unless
specifically directed, as doing so may prevent proper removal of some or all of
the files installed. Note that complete removal of the product with Add/Remove
Programs is possible only if the product was originally installed in the default
target folder created by the install process.
In most cases, when you upgrade to version 2.6, you'll be removing a previous
version of CineCast software. To uninstall that previous version of software, con-
sult the user's manual that you received when you installed it. At some point, you
may need to uninstall CineCast version 2.6 from your system. To do so, just
follow the steps below.
• On the software list that is displayed when you select “Add/Remove
Programs” from the Control Panel, click on the entry that begins with
the phrase “Vela Research, Software Version ….” Then, on the Uninstall
Information panel, click OK.
• When asked to select the uninstall method, select “Automatic” and click Next.
• You may see a message indicating that a particular file is no longer being
used by any program. Click “Yes to All” to delete it and any other such files.
• On other screens that may appear, Click on Next or Finish until the unin-
stall process is complete.
• After you click Finish on the last screen of the uninstall procedure, you will
be asked to restart the system. Click OK, and allow the system to restart.
When the system has finished rebooting, there should be no file entries in the
C:\Program Files\Vela Research folder. If you find files or folders remaining
in the
C:\Program Files\Vela Research
folder, delete them manually.
