Program Uninstallation in Windows
Uninstalling the program is done through the standard Windows uninstall dialog.
When uninstalling, configuration files remain in the folder where the program was installed. Thus, when the program is reinstalled, the settings are preserved. If you need to completely remove the program, including settings, then after the automatic uninstallation process you must manually delete the folder where the program was installed:
C:\Program Files\VinteoDesktop,
C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\vinteo.desktop-updater,
C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\Programs\VinteoDesktop
or
C:\Users%username%\AppData\Roaming\VinteoDesktop.
To uninstall the program, open the terminal and copy the full path to the installer file into the command line and run it with the --remove flag:
$[/path/to/file/vinteodesktop-1.8.0.run] –remove
Installing the Vinteo Desktop Distribution with Extension via *.deb Command Line
-
Download the distribution from the download site (Download link);
-
For proper installation, the libraries libappindicator3-1, libdbusmenu-glib4, libdbusmenu-gtk3-4, libindicator3-7 must be installed. They can be installed either from the repository or individually. If you install the libraries listed above separately with the .deb extension, for convenience place the program installer file in the same directory with them and run the command from that directory:
*$sudo dpkg -i .deb
-
Open the “Fly Terminal” command line and run the command with superuser privileges.
$sudo dpkg -i [/path/to/archive/Vinteo.Desktop-1.8.0-amd64.deb]
You can use the drag & drop function by selecting the “Paste Location” option from the context menu and removing the trailing space at the end of the path.
- Close the terminal window.
Program Removal
To uninstall the program, run the dpkg command with superuser privileges using the flags:
$sudo dpkg -r Vinteo.Desktop
-r – removes the main program files, while user settings remain
-P – removes completely including user configuration files
