Don't know if it matters, but on a hunch I just successfully installed
Revo free on Vista64. I first modified properties to have it run in
win2k mode (64 didn't exists then). I imagine the limitation is that
it will not uninstall 64bit apps, but since I'm writing just after
install, I haven't tried it on anything 32bit either.

Revo has been a valuable tool for a long time.

As I updated FREE, an offer for PRO at $19.62 appeared. A no-brainer.

CORRECTION, ignore prior post. REVO works ecept the uninstaller module
(red X on it).

This newsgroup is for the discussion of freeware. The pro version of
Revo Uninstaller is not freeware.

John Corliss BS206. Because of all the Googlespam, I block all posts
sent through Google Groups. I also block as many posts from anonymous
remailers (like x-privat.org for eg.) as possible due to forgeries
posted through them.

No ad, CD, commercial, cripple, demo, nag, share, spy, time-limited,
trial or web wares OR warez for me, please. Adobe Flash sucks, DivX rules.

What a cop you are!

Topic and content dealt with Revo FREE - and as is true for many
freeware products an update stimulates an appeal to purchase the PRO
version. In this particular case, the shift was at half price. We prefer
to pay nothing, but some are happy to pay half and get more.

I don't work for Revo, but would...
