      Hello,

      I’m transitionning from one package manager (Chocolatey) to another (PatchMyPC)

      When uninstalling NP++ from the control panel, you get asked if you want to keep your custom settings.

      Is there an option for this during a silent uninstallation?

      Seems like I’m going to have to backup and restore local profiles in the process…

        Uninstalling the app was not the better solution in this case.

        I had to make sure NP++ was not running while transitioning to PatchMyPC.

        Afterwards, I had to delete whatever’s left of Chocolatey.

        I’d still be interested to know if there’s a silent option for keeping local profiles ^^
