The latter has created a Start Menu group emacs 29.2 with two icons - emacs and uninstall. After installing emacs-29.2.50_bug#58756-installer.exe it creates separate Start Menu directory 29.2.50. The Start menu Emacs 29.2/uninstall disappears. After clicking Start Menu/emacs 29.2.50/uninstall the entry Emacs 29.2/uninstall appears again, but it is now dysfunctional. Apart from this, uninstalling 29.2.50 does remove the Start Menu entries it has created. I cannot test if two different versions work during install/uninstall as expected, since I have no two different versions which are at the same time “fixed”. > > > > Thank you very much for testing Дилян.

(Is this a good candidate for > PROBLEMS?) No, PROBLEMS is not a good place, I think. But why cannot you remove those old shortcuts/submenus when the new Emacs version is installed?
