Reinstalling A Program

Hi All:

I would like to reinstall one of my programs (Winmag's ULR Discombobulator) and would like to know if I should first uninstall the exisiting copy, or should I just execute the setup file again and let it reinstall itself over the existing copy?

I guess this question would generally apply to other programs as well.

By the way, before I installed this program, I had to install Visual Basic Runtime 6.0 so that it would function properly. If I unistall the program, will the Visual Basic still remain on my system?

Thanks in advance for your reply.



Regards,
Bob

    Bob,

    I would recommend uninstalling it and then reinstalling it. It's a cleaner way of managing programs. When you uninstall it the VB Runtime will remain on your system.
