Modern Windows® applications are very complicated "beasts". They include large numbers of files that are often saved in many different places, not just in the application's own program directory. In addition to this they also have even larger numbers of settings, sometimes hundreds, which they record in Windows' central database, which is known as the Windows® Registry.


Ashampoo UnInstaller Platinum Suite works by creating two "snapshots" of your system, one before you install an application and another one directly afterwards. These snapshots record the entire status of your computer system, including all registry entries, the locations, dates, sizes and versions of all files and the contents of all configuration files. After creating the second snapshot the program then compares it with the first and records all the differences in a special file called an "installation log file", or "log file" for short.

When you tell Ashampoo UnInstaller Platinum Suite to uninstall the application it loads this log file and uses the information it contains to restore everything on your system to the way it was before you installed the application.

What’s new?

The user interface has been thoroughly revised and modernized, making the program even easier to use. Our designers have managed to combine a stylish, attractive appearance with extremely intuitive operation. This is no small feat, and the result is a truly high-end product that represents yet another impressive milestone in software history by Ashampoo.

A growing number of modern programs can be modified with add-ons, plug-ins and patches. The new Ashampoo UnInstaller Platinum Suite now allows you to log changes like these with supplementary records that are added to existing installation logs.

The new list option gives you clear information on the modifications made to your computer system by a program installation. And the integrated print function allows you to print out a record of the changes to file for future reference.

If you install a lot of programs on your system it’s easy for the collection of installation logs to get out of hand. The new Ashampoo UnInstaller Platinum Suite also has a solution for this problem: You can now choose the path for your installation logs so that you can organize them more efficiently.
