Description:
The Today Plugin Uninstaller utility helps to remove the unwanted Today Plugins from your Pocket PC Today Screen.
Use this utility to uninstall the Today Plugin that cannot be removed by "Remove Programs", a useful tool for today plugin developers too.
How Today Plugin Uninstallation works:
- Today Plugin DLLs are loaded during the Pocket PC boot & they are never unloaded (even when you deactive the particular plugin).
- The uninstaller has to remove the related registry entries (the DLL is however still unloaded from the memory).
- A Soft-reset may be required to finish the process (or) a particular Windows Message has to be posted to reload the today plugins which will release the DLL without requiring a Soft-reset.
Cleaning your Today Screen:
- As Today Plugin DLLs are loaded during the Pocket PC boot & they are never unloaded, some times normal Uninstallation process may not uninstall the Today Plugin as the DLL is still in use.
- Use Today Plugin Uninstaller in such cases, where developer has to provided a successful uninstallation script.
Useful for Today Plugin Developers:
- During Today Plugin Development developer every time a change is made to the Plugin, Developer has to manually:
- Unregister the DLL.
- Change/Delete the registry Path.
- Soft-reset the Device in order to completely unload the DLL from the memory.
- Install the new DLL after soft-reset.
- Use Today Plugin Uninstaller during Today Plugin Development, where you don’t have to soft-reset everytime.
