Re: [Swarm-Support] uninstall swarm

[Paul Johnson]

If you manually delete things, the uninstall does not work. That's not a 
Swarm problem. Its an MS Windows problem.  You deleted something the 
uninstaller wants.

If you want to use Swarm now, you should be using the most recent 
pretest version, and there are some notes in the SwarmOnlineFAQ

http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/SwarmFaq/SwarmOnlineFaq.html

and in the memo's directory of the SwarmFaq site, I posted a longish 
essay about this a while ago:
