Anyway, here's some basic info. Each program needing an uninstall item has a key in: /HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall See http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms709926.aspx http://support.microsoft.com/kb/247501 > Is this something that might be supported by existing cygwin tools? Personally, I'd leave installing/uninstalling of non-cygwin apps to windows. Can you imagine the queries coming to this list? - I couldn't uninstall notepad! - Executing random uninstaller broke my system! Why did cygwin allow that?
