![]() ![]() This Uninstall link is probably a standard Windows menu item for anything in the Start menu. But it is nevertheless confusing that this "option" to uninstall this way (and it is in fact not an option) seems to exist.įor my money, the Windows "installer" offering should not exist unless it does change the registry (and behaves like most everything else out there that uses an installer). Offering an installer that seems to do this, but doesn't, is confusing. If Eclipse is going to be a non-registry-changing piece of software in all cases, then let's not obscure that fact behind a facade that becomes confusing. Well, I don't have Windows 10, so I don't know what automatic things the latest and greatest windows has decided are good things to put on all your menu shortcuts. It seems inappropriate to assume that all menu items must necessarily corresponding to things that can be uninstalled, but someone would need to report that to Microsoft. Given that "for my money" = 0 cents, I'm not sure how best to evaluate that condition at the start of the statement. Suppose we called it the Eclipse Installation Creator or the Eclipse Package Unpackager, then it would no longer be an installer. It would create Eclipse Installations or Unpackage Eclipse Packages, which is way less confusing.
