First, this is the only time this has ever happened to me with any 3rd party software, so I don’t find that “you shoulda known better” a really strong defense, nor is this something that should be defended. The tool is awesome, and I’m very thankful for it, but the installer needs to be reconsidered or some line of its code needs to be fixed.
Didn’t install it into the Falcon directory. Installed it into a higher level folder I used to group all Falcon things together.
Games\F4\
In that folder was:
Falcon 4
Falcon BMS
Terrainfiles\ (looking at Balkans dds files but didn’t have the campaign installed)
The terrain editor didn’t allow me to create a new folder, so I just plopped it into the F4 folder that housed everything else. Never occurred to me that this would be an issue, because in 2 decades of gaming and modding it never has been. I’ve done this probably over a hundred times with all sorts of third-party stuff. Uninstalling JUST takes out what was placed, and keeps any other files, including configs or saves that were created by the program (unless chosen in the uninstaller to be removed as well), sometimes even the folder itself remains despite being empty.
