I installed Ankhsvn 2.3, but that assumes I'm using Subversion 1.7, which I'm not. Now I'm trying to install Ankhsvn 2.1, but it says that I'm unable to install because a newer version of the product is already installed.
So, how do I uninstall Ankhsvn 2.3? I can't find the uninstaller.
The Windows design guideliness tell application developers that they should just add uninstallers to the Start->Control Panel->Software list. So this is where you can find the AnkhSVN uninstall (like that of any other MSI)
Adding an unnecessary uninstall icon in the program menu would even be a design error for a 'Designed for Windows' application.

I've clicked a "Help" button in an error message box shown by the C++Builder IDE, and another error message box pops up telling me
RAD Studio's help is not installed. Please reinstall RAD Studio's documentation.
So I seem to have missed checking the checkbox for installing the help when installing C++Builder 11.2. I would like to fix that and install the documentation.
When I invoke the C++Builder installer again, the installer says
A previous version of RAD Studio 11 was found on your system that needs to be uninstalled first.
But the message is not quite correct, it is not a previous version that is installed, but the exact same version: 11.2 is currently installed, and the installer that I execute is for 11.2, and exactly the same installer that I have previously used to install the current version. I've double-checked.
Is uninstalling and reinstalling the only way to get the documentation for the 11.2 version, or is there some way how I can just add the documentation to the existing installation?
Edited:
As Remy Lebeau has pointed out in a comment to this answer, you can open a "feature manager" inside RADStudio by choosing menu item Tools->"Manage Platforms..." which will show you all options from the installer again, and allow to change the options and apply the changes.
I wish I had known this before I actually uninstalled and reinstalled C++Builder with some hassles (described in the original answer).
I have upgraded a shipping Windows Desktop application from version 6.0.15.0 to version 6.1.0.0. I am using the Limited Edition of InstallShield, with Visual Studio 2013, for the installation program. Upon running the installation program on a PC that has version 6.0.15.0 installed, the installation program says "Another Version of this product is already installed"
I set the Product Version to "6.1.0.0." in the upgraded version. I did not change the product code or the upgrade code GUIDs (from version 6.0), because the documentations says not to change them. The documentation says,
"Because the product code uniquely identifies your product, changing the code after distributing a release of your product is not recommended."
"The upgrade code, stored in the UpgradeCode property, should remain the same for all versions of a product."
What must be changed in the InstallShield Visual Studio project to enable it to replace 6.0 with 6.1, without a need to uninstall the previous version (6.0) of the program?
There are a couple ways to do do this.
Assuming you want a major upgrade ( deploy everything again), you just need to go to the upgrades and right click, add major upgrade.
Once you have the major upgrade, you can choose any previous version.
I am installing an old version of VB6. I had installed a previous version of the software, but uninstalled it. Now I get an error saying 'setup has detected that the service pack version of this system installed is newer that the update you are applying to it'. I searched in the registry for the appropriate keys to modify, however I have not found same. Any help would be appreciated.
Which versions do you have installed of VB6 and of the servicepack?
I suggest you uninstall all VB6 related items, reboot, and then install VB6 again.
After that download servicepack 6 from SP6 from the microsoft site and install that.
If you are still having problems you might try to uninstall all versions of visual studio and install in order of release, so first install VB6 and then install VB.net
I did a reinstall on my machines several times (xp, w7-32b, x7-64b) and never had any problems, but I always installed VB6 first, then its SP6, and then Visual Studio (2005) with its servicepacks, and then checked the windows update to make sure I didn't miss anything.
I've flashbuilder 4.6 and I need to uninstall it. It appears to be missing the installation package, and as such it doesn't appear in the control panel->uninstall list for windows 7.
I have filed a case with adobe for help (as its a paid product), but after month & 1/2 no answer.
So any suggestions on how to get rid of it including any links it will have to the registry or similar. It must be a clean uninstall as to install the newer version the current one must be removed and the newer version installation knows that I have it (previous version) installed already.
I have tried the uninstall tool called Revo as well without success.
Cheers.
What I needed to do was to find the exact version of the software I used to install it originally. Then once I ran the installer, (for the already installed software) windows picked up the installation packager and I could uninstall it.
Once removed I could then install the newer version of the same software.
Opening VS2010 today, the extension manager notified me of an update for NuGet Package Manager.
During the install, I get an 'Installation Failed' with an option to view the log.
The key error message I see in that log file is:
The signature on the update version of 'NuGet Package Manager' does not match
the signature on the installed version. Therefore, Extension Manager cannot
install the update.
The version numbers I am upgrading from/to are as follows.
Current Version: 1.5.20902.9026
New Version: 1.6.21205.9031
I have also tried to install it while VS2010 is closed via this page:

Update: The recently released NuGet 2.0 also may require uninstalling an older version of NuGet first.
From the NuGet 2.0 Release Notes: (http://docs.nuget.org/docs/release-notes/nuget-2.0)
Known Installation Issue
If you are running VS 2010 SP1, you might run into an installation error when attempting to upgrade NuGet if you have an older version installed.
The workaround is to simply uninstall NuGet and then install it from the VS Extension Gallery. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2581019 for more information, or to go directly to the VS hotfix.
Note: If Visual Studio won't allow you to uninstall the extension (the Uninstall button is disabled), then you likely need to restart Visual Studio using "Run as Administrator."
Here is the VisualStudio/Express hotfix for this issue...

There's not much on the page describing what it's for, but it's linked to from here that does provide some description...

I have installed this hotfix on both the Professional (on Win 7 Pro 32 bit) and Express versions (on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit) and the NuGet update behaves as it should.
When i originally had the problem, Joe Doyle's answer solved it.
However, going to version 1.8, I cannot see a listing for nuget in Programs and Features.
So from within Visual Studio / Tools / Extension Manager.
Uninstalled NUGET.
Restarted VS
Return to the Extension manager and install NUGET.
After uninstalling Nuget from Control panel, Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft Corporation\NuGet Package Manager\ or the location matching similar pattern based upon windows bit version, and delete the folder 1.0.11220.104. And, if you install it now, you wont' get the same problem.
