Not a problem.

But after removing all the stuff below the uninstall entry in Control Panel
.. Programs, the MariaDB 5.2 entry disappeared.

There could be an issue with my system.  But it would have been nice with
some advice on how I could remove the entry (which of the ones above that
matters, for instance).

Still you did not reply to why my registry had entries like the mysql.h
file.  I removed more than hundred of those. Some are are files that never
existed on my system (I never had the soruce code, as I don't know what to
do with it). Do you have files registered in Visual Studio and add registry
entries file from your system on users' systems? Anyway this is not a real
problem. The only real problem that the uninstall con in CÅ .. Programs did
not go with the uninstallation.

Also I may have had older 5.2 versions before 5.2.10 (the last 5.2 I had)
installed and some of the garbage in registry may have come from such older
version(s). I also found a little left-over garbage from 5.3 (that was
uninstalled a few months ago), but only few percent of what was left over
from 5.2.


All this was mainly posted FYI, BTW. I can handle such issues on my system.
But you should know what to reply to users reporting this in the future -
if it should happen again.
