Hi,

trying to update fiddler to current version fails because the file uninst.exe of the previous version is missing. No idea, why.

How can I manually uninstall my current version of Fiddler to enable install of new version?

Regards,

Torsten

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply. In order to remove Fiddler manually, please, follow these steps:
  1. Firstly, uninstall any Fiddler add-ons.
  2. Then, delete the "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Fiddler2" folder.
  3. Make sure Fiddler is removed from the "Programs and Features" list
  4. Open regedit.exe and delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Fiddler2 registry key.
  5. (optional) deleting the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Fiddler2 registry key removes all your Fiddler settings.

Regards,
Simeon

Why on earth do you hide your settings under the Microsoft key in the registry?

You are not Microsoft so get your own key! (They are free)
