As a result, software uninstalls were often incomplete, leaving behind Registry and file system detritus. Their focus in coding installers was of course the install part of setup, because coding uninstallers is in some sense an admission that the software you’ve developed might not be useful or robust enough to become a permanent fixture on end-user systems. It used to be common for developers to write their own application installation routines in order to avoid paying hundreds of dollars for commercial setup toolkits. I originally thought that there might be valid reasons for their existence, but over time changed my mind, only to recently recognize that even today they can help maintain Registry hygiene. Registry cleaners have always been popular, but I never paid much attention to them. First published on TechNet on Oct 02, 2005
