Twice now I've had to RE-INSTALL Win 10 after uninstalling EchoLink!!! I
went to their
web page to gripe BUT after reading this fingered out that it's called
"operator head space"!!
Military jargon we, in the Crypto Field, used for DUMB operators!!
Copied this
directly from the EchoLink website! Pass along to anyone/ everyone you
know using WIN 8/ 10
and EchoLink!! In WIN10 if they try to uninstall it, it messes up the
Start Menu button, the task bar and
you CAN NOT open the Action Center where most setting buttons reside!!
Everything else,
all installed app's works fine!!! Thank God I know how to reinstall WIN
10!! No sure how it affects WIN 8!
Ironically it ONLY affects the user account where it's installed, other
accounts will function at 100%!! ??? Why
did I want to uninstall it?? It got quirking and I wanted a "clean"
install of EchoLink!! Hindsight is 20/20!!

This is a self-extracting installer, which installs the program and the
help file. Download this file to your hard drive and then open it to
begin installation. After installing, you can run EchoLink from the
Programs section of your Start menu.
If you are upgrading from an earlier version of EchoLink, *do not
un-install or delete your existing software*. Simply download and
install the new version, and the software will be upgraded
automatically, retaining all of your existing settings.
*Windows 8 Users:* There is a known problem with the InstallShield
un-installer on Windows 8 and Windows 10. Please do not attempt to
un-install this EchoLink package after you've installed it. An updated
package that is compatible with Windows 8 and Windows 10 is in the works."
