Deleting Complete database

[ottacon]

Hi,

Is it possible to completly delete the whole database in one time.

The reson is,

we have the problem when uninstalling something at a pc in our network systemhounds still gives that software as installed. We made systemhound update every hour but that doens't solve the problem. But we noticed when we delete it from the database, the next hour the pc is put back in and then the software list is up to date.

So what wa want to do is delete whole database every 1 or 2 weeks so we alway's have an up to date systemhound.

Hope u can provide me some information about it.

best regards

Hi

If you remove a software, it is possible it did not uninstall itself properly from the machine, eg it may have left registry entries. In this case, it is possible that systemhound will still report it as being installed.

If this is the case, then deleting the database will not solve the problem. (It is possible to delete the db, see this topic: http://www.systemhound.net/community/index.php/topic,143.0.html

So can you tell me which software is being uninstalled, and  do a check in the registry on that machine in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall to see if its still there.
