DO NOT UNINSTALL GTP MOD!!!!! HUGE DEVASTATING BUG!

Flame warUninstall warning about the GTP mod descends into insults

Buster warned in capital letters that uninstalling the GTP mod wiped the root drive. Several replies mocked him, but after Team Redline confirmed a major install bug, Larry suggested that apologies were due. Others pointed out that the mod had no uninstall routine. The thread then became a personal slanging match between cuk and Bruce Kennewell.

Pity you didn't install it on your C:\ drive buster. Any chance you could sort of not post here at all? I'd really appreciate it. Malc.

I guess the guy was right. From the website: "We are very sorry to announce we had, as many found, a major bug with the install of the MOD and have to solve the issues. An update is in the works and soon hopefully a return." I believe a few apologies to this gent are in order... -Larry "buster" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:fvUHd.6419$[email hidden]... > UNINSTALLING THE GTP MOD WIPES OUT THE ENTIRE ROOT DRIVE OF WHERE IT WAS > INSTALLED!!!!!

Hehe, was wondering when this would be noticed. Had to have a few spout off before checking the facts though. Seems to happen on a regular basis here, hehe. "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:OEZHd.32051$jn.10211@lakeread06...

> "We are very sorry to announce we had, as many found, a major bug with the > install of the MOD and have to solve the issues. An update is in the works > and soon hopefully a return." Me thinks the "bug" is more likely to be the actual installation routine. Besides some users' inability to even complete the installation, there's also the problem of it hosing the NR2003 installation if you try to install GTP on top of it. If the bug were as large as wiping out an entire drive, I would think (hope) they'd issue a big fat warning. Heck, I can't even find a shortcut to uninstall though there are a few executables in the GTP directory that look like they're it. Anyway, buster's contributions to RAS have been limited to random bits of flaming, so I'd take anything he says with a grain of salt. Alan

WRONG. How can there be an uninstall bug when there is no actual uninstall routine/program in the mod? To uninstall the mod, all you do is delete the Redline GTP folder. Please check your facts, people, before feeding the trolls. I'm sure we'll know more about the "major bug" in a few days time, but I'm 100% certain it's got nothing to do with uninstalling the mod.

Brucy baby, you once wrote: "I'm going "on and on about it" becuase I don't usually finish making a statement whilst in mid-sentence. However, in your case I'll ma" in response to this harmless comment: "What more do you what him to say? Or do you just enjoy hounding people? I do agree with you BTW, in the most part, but I can't see the point in going on and on and on about it." Let's face it, you are a fucking hypocrite, Bruce. Google threw up many more examples of you 'going for the jugular'. -- "For instance I can't think of the last time I actually paid for a copy of Windows." -- James Calivar
Hypocrite? Perhaps, but I don't think the situations are comparable. At least my education gave me a vocabulary consisting of more than four-letter adjectives.

Looks like you're stuck on four-letter verbs, as well, Mr. Smith. Might I suggest that you grab yourself both a Thesaurus and a Dictionary ....or maybe even a primary-school English primer, for starters?

Bruce Kennewell wrote: > Hypocrite?

You >definitely< need a dictionary, Mr. Smith.....you're so illiterate that even when you attempt to cut and paste my quoted words, you stuff-up and misspell "education", "vocabulary" and "adjectives"!!

Youre wasting your time Bruce. This guy is incapable of rational thoughts and has proven it true with post after post of nonsense and attacks. He certainly deserves a *plonk* from everyone. Mitch -- Remove "nospam." to reply. SuSE 9.2 Pro.
The problem with the written word is that sarcasm is virtually impossible to get across without one reverting to the use of visual accentuation and emphasis. So in this case I guess I'll have to...... NO!!! REALLY?!! BK "cuk" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:uLtId.491$[email hidden]... > I did that on purpose you twat.
