Doesn't uninstall anything unfortunately, though you do need to do it
to get rid of the entries in the Win installer database.

To clean out an old install you need to follow the instructions in
the help file. Use the one from the Downloads page, as the version
Jason installs with the installer is missing the correct table of
contents for accessing the info parts of the help.

Again, a no-op.

Probably none. Actually, the workaround advice given for path errors
occurring during the install, that I included in the Help file, is
probably not 100% right with the new version of the installer. Jason
has since told me he is forcing all of the outputs to a single place
now, to try to get something consistent regardless of custom IDE
setups and the path-finding bug that's been around a lot of versions
and editions of Delphi. The trouble is, I think that path bug was
still around in D5.

You *will* get a good install in D5 but you may well need to revert
to the old way, using the BPG file. That's not available with the
evaluation kit but get in touch with me privately if you can't wait.

(Well, actually, I *am* just about to turn in for the night....)
