Uninstalling TinyTERM Removes Lucida Console Font

Friday, August 17th, 2012

Most versions of Windows ship with the Lucida Console font installed. TinyTERM also installs the same font into its own directory, as lucon.ttf. However, it also overwrites the existing Windows copy of the font with a shortcut to the TinyTERM copy.

Uninstalling TinyTERM removes the shortcut. It does not replace the font.

Uninstall Enhancements

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

Century Software, Inc., has had requests for two enhancements to the TinyTERM uninstall:

  1. Combine TinyTERM and NetUtils into a single entry in Add/Remove Programs. This is problematic, as TinyTERM, TinyTERM Plus, TinyTERM Web Server and TinyTERM Web Server Client all share a single install. NetUtils is a separate install process spawned when TinyTERM Plus is selected.
  2. Create an uninstall shortcut on the Windows Start menu.

NetUtils Uninstall Removes Msvbvm60.dll

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

When uninstalling TinyTERM Plus, you must also remove the “NetUtils” item in Add/Remove Programs to finish the uninstall. This removes the file msvbmvm60.dll from the PC as well.

If the file isn’t present when NetUtils (the network utilities part of TinyTERM Plus) is installed, NetUtils installs it. However, whether or not the file was present before, the uninstall removes it. This happens even if other installed programs rely on the file.

Can’t Delete a File

Monday, April 16th, 2007

While trying to manually uninstall TinyTERM, you may find there are some files you cannot delete, such as CenLic32.dll. It’s caused when the file is in use by Windows.

When this happens, finish as much of the uninstall process as possible, then reboot the PC in safe mode. You will be able to delete the files then. Reboot again after deleting the files to return to normal mode.

NFS Errors After Uninstall

Monday, April 16th, 2007

After uninstalling TinyTERM Plus, on reboot you may see load errors about mar_nfs.386 and ncdnp32.dll. To fix that, do the following:

  1. Open Windows Explorer or My Computer and remove any Century folder (C:\Century or C:\Program Files\Century).
  2. Go to the C:\Windows\Temp folder. Remove any files or folders that start with _istmp.
  3. Search the C: drive for files named mar*.*. From the list of files found, delete the following:
    • marathon.*
    • marsetup.*
    • mar_inet.exe
      You may receive an error that this file is in use. If so, check the far right of the Start bar, next to the clock. If a hammer&wrench icon is there, right-click it and select Exit. You will then be able to delete mar_inet.exe
  4. Click the Start menu and select Programs. Delete any Century or TinyTERM Program group.
  5. Click Start and select Run. In the Open line, type regedit and click OK.
  6. In the Registry Editor, go to HKEY_Current_User\Software. Delete any “Century” or “NCD Software” folders found there.
  7. Still in the Registry Editor, go to HKEY_Local_Machine\Software. Delete any “Century” or “NCD Software” folders found there. Close the Registry Editor.
  8. Right click on Network Neighborhood and select Properties.
  9. Remove “Century NFS” and “Century Internet Services” from the list of installed network components
  10. Reboot your PC.

Uninstalling Century LPD

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

When uninstalling TinyTERM Plus from Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP or Vista, you can’t uninstall NetUtils while CenLPD is running. CenLPD runs as a service on those versions of Windows. Only a user with administrator rights can stop the service so it can be uninstalled.

To shut down CenLPD, do the following:

  1. Right-click on the “hammer-and-wrench” icon in the task bar. This will be next to the system clock.
  2. Select “Stop CenLPD” from the pop-up menu.
  3. Right-click the icon again, and select “Exit.”

Once this is done, you should be able to uninstall NetUtils. If it shows the service as running still, you’ll need to stop it from Control Panel:

  1. In Control Panel, open the Administrative Tools and double-click Services.
  2. In the list of services, double-click CenLPD.
  3. Click the Stop button, then click OK.
  4. Close the Services panel.

Uninstall will work normally after this.
