Apache 2.2 Windows XP Uninstall Doesn't Remove All Files
- by AJ
Hello,
I am trying to uninstall Apache 2.2 on Windows XP. The original installation was from the binary msi distribution. The uninstall function of the msi ran successfully, but it failed to remove a couple of folders:
C:\Apache2.2\conf
C:\Apache2.2\logs
I am unable to remove these folders manually because they contain files for which I do not have ownership. And this is the source of my confusion: why if I installed the program do I not have permission to remove it? To be clear, I do not have local admin rights (nor can I request them), yet the files in these two remaining folders are owned by Administrator.
How is it that Administrator created these files (and how can I possibly remove them)?
Thanks,
