Hi Brad,

Thanks for the post. I did as you suggest but was unsuccessful. Perhaps files are in other directories on Win-XP. I deleted directory "Design Explorer 99 SE". I deleted *99se.* in C:\windows. Then I did a search for *.bpl, *.dpl and found them in windows\system32. SO I deleted them as well. Then the computer was rebooted and I installed 99se. When I tried to unlock the software elements I got the same reaction; could unlock all but Schematic.

I'm bummed.

Fred,
While this particular problem is not familiar, there is an overall familiarity to your current plight. Are you knowledgable of the "full-clean-uninstall" procedure for P99SE? The current state that you find yourself in sounds like it could, just possibly, be related to some DLLs that the normal uninstall does not remove.

Here is copy of the clean uninstall procedure.
(In Step 5. The *.BPL or *.DPL files number approx. 5 of each. You are looking for CSRTL50.bpl, ProtelComponents50.bpl, vcl50.bpl, vcldb50.bpl, vclx50.bpl, CSRTL.dpl, ProtelComponents.dpl, vcl30.dpl, VCLDB30.DPL, and VCLX30.DPL. Usually, some are removed by the uninstall but not all.)


Version # Protel 99SE/ Service Pack 6:

PROBLEM: Is there a specific uninstall procedure for Protel? I have
uninstalled and reinstalled using add and/remove programs but Protel is
still acting up.

SOLUTION:

1) Un-install Service Pack 6 for 99SE
2) Un-install 99SE
3) Delete the Design Explorer 99 SE directory
(make sure you have no personal files or libraries stored here before you do
this).
4) Delete the files *99SE.* from your Windows or Winnt folder
5) Also delete from the Windows or Winnt folder *.bpl and *.dpl, if they are
still remaining.
6) Re-install Protel 99 SE
a) If Win 9x then Reboot
7) Re-apply Service Pack 6
a) If Win 9x Then Reboot

And then software companies are surprised that people, honest users, revert to the cracked market to be sure their software, payed software btw, will run for years to come.
I'me not in favor of cracked sw but I like to have full service for at least 10 years. FULL service.
I still run software from mid 90's. It is still able to do the job very well. And then I know this software.
