It's more a windows than a TOAD problem I think.!
After every update I deinstall the previous version.
But I can't find a solution to deinstall the "Toad for Oracle ... Installer".
In the control panel -> software there are 3 old entries.
Is there a simple solution for?
Hi Ronny,
Those installers may still remain if the installer believes it sees some part of its bundle is still installed on your system (perhaps in the registry). It's possible one of the products within the bundle hadn't fully been uninstalled. One thing you could try is running those installers and performing a repair or reinstall, then uninstall the products from that installer (rather than uninstalling the products individually) and see if that resolves the issue you're seeing.
Let us know if that helps to resolve the issue you're seeing.
Thanks,

Yes, there are. Remove the following directory first:
C:\ProgramData\Package Cache{565aefa8-29bc-4121-a149-ba2f4f845385}
Then remove the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{565aefa8-29bc-4121-a149-ba2f4f845385}
in case that GUID does not exist, search for "Toad for" in Registry and use that value.
Mercy!!! Looking in Regedit, searching for "Toad for", I can see entries for Toad going back to 2017 and Toad v12. When I uninstall, should I be using the Toad Installer, and NOT the Windows Uninstall process??? I have used Windows Uninstall, and it seems to leave the empty Toad installer sitting there.
I currently have three Toad installers in Windows that I cannot uninstall. Any advice to help me clean up the mess would be appreciated.
I have no idea, that bugs me too. but I can tell you this:
If you don't use any of the "other" products that the installer gives you an option for (SQL Optimizer for example), then just download and run the msi installer instead and you'll never have this problem.
