Is there a way to force uninstalling of EWB?  I had used the beta, uninstalled the beta, then installed the release, but I still have artifacts of the beta:
 - tries to load beta DLLs and fails on every startup
 - the font for X close buttons and glyphs is not reliable - doesn't always work on Chrome or Apple clients

I believe people who never used the beta do not see these issues.  I would like to totally uninstall then reinstall fresh.  

What are the registry and special files I have to delete?

Reformatting the machine would be a nightmare to get all the other software reinstalled.

Thanks

Is this the 2.06 beta?

AFAIk there is no special registry settings you have to worry about.

if you want to do a clean reinstall then only things i can think of to
do would be

1. uninstall ewb web server service (if you registered it as service)

2. uninstall EWB normally

3. rename/delete relevant EWB INi files in
"C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Elevate Software"

4. rename/delete relevant INi files in
"C:\ProgramData\Elevate Software" and subfolders

5. rename/delete C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Elevate Web Builder 2

6. reinstall EWB

Paths above should be right for modern Windows versions
