There is something wrong with uninstalling GIT on Windows

I tried to uninstall GIT on my Windows-XP using the Windows / Configuration / Software menu. After some error message (which I don't remember) it deleted all files. I checked it and there are no ptp files in the name left on the whole system.

However, the problem remained: every time I opened window-explorer, a nasty error message appeared that did not have a dll file.

Does anyone know what's going on here? Wild guess: could there be any interference between svn and git if certain files are linked to both GIT and svn?

Personally, I went to the registry. I found that a lot of traces in GIT remain in the registry after uninstalling the GIT "window path". I carefully removed each one manually, which seemed to solve my problem. This is, of course, a dangerous path, but I had no choice. It might be a very good idea to study the Windows-deinstallation script very closely.

You need to remove the explorer extension (not sure if this is terminology, but it's a concept).



I believe you can use Microsoft 'autoruns' for this.
