I have gone through uninstall methods for all old Daemon Tools install (Dont
remember which version I was using) and still no luck, I have read every
manual uninstall method there is, using registry crawlers and cleaners to
disable, export, delete, destroy all mentions of drivers, and dlls. From PnP
BIOS Extension to sptd.sys files, and registry entries. The question is, why
can not Vista Ultimate upgrade because of this program? I have not read any
where, the reasoning why Vista Ultimate requires this program and all of its
entries and DLLs to be removed in order to continue. This is not anm issue
with Daemon Tools, it is with Vista Ultimate Upgrade, after all of its
testing, a method should have been installed to remove automatically or
continue without automatically without this much disruption in someones life.
The amount of work, and reading, and searching I have done in order to come
to the conclusion is Windows Vista is far from perfect and still has errors
and bugs that still need ironing out in the Upgrade phase, otherwise they
should not market the upgrade portion, of Windows Vista if it can not or will
not cleanly upgrade to the next version without so much user frustration
because I installed a program Windows Vista does not seem to like.
My system is more than capable hardware wise. I ran the online advisors, and
upgrade compatabilities, I uninstalled the program, but Vista still is
locating these files, all though no longer in use, somewhere. Is there a
install log, or other event viewer I can use, or a upgrade install debug
feature?
Thanks for any help, and thanks alot for your responses.
