What advice would folks give on how to completely uninstall every single trace of Streamfab,allowing new versions to be installed correctly ?

I use Revo Uninstaller Pro before doing a clean install of Streamfab because you can have it automatically remove leftover stuff that is missed by Windows' built-in uninstaller. Then I've been using Ccleaner to remove yet another couple more Streamfab registry issues. I no longer even consider upgrading to the latest Streamfab release using Streamfab's builtin updater.

How to do a clean install of the latest StreamFab

1. Totally delete the contents of your StreamFab Log & Temp directories. Please refer to your StreamFab Settings as to where you have told SF where to save them.

2. Use a "professional" uninstall program to completely remove the old version of StreamFab.
Make sure the uninstaller removes Registry entries for StreamFab as well as the program.
Do not use the built-in Windows uninstaller (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features) as it tends to leave stuff behind.
A good source for currently available free uninstallers is at or simply Google "Uninstallers" for additional free and pay programs. Some commonly used uninstallers are Revo, Ashampoo, and Total Uninstaller. Right now, I prefer the Ashampoo - . Revo sometimes makes you reboot your computer.
Important: Be sure to choose to remove StreamFab's current configuration when asked.

3. Download the latest offline version of StreamFab from the "Sticky" announcement at the top of the forum. Otherwise just download directly from...
32bit version: https://www.dvdfab.cn/mlink/download.php?g=StreamFab_Online
64bit version: https://www.dvdfab.cn/mlink/download.php?g=StreamFab_x64
NEVER use the online pop-up installer as it often produces bad installs.

4. Install the new version of StreamFab.
If the uninstall program you used has a Install component to it, use that to install StreamFab.
Using the Install component will keep a complete log of everything added and make a future uninstall easier the next time. When the install is done, start up your new version of SF. A pop-up will appear asking you to re-authorize your StreamFab, do that by giving your email/password. Give your DVDFab email/password, not your forum email/password, if different.
Then go up to the upper right of StreamFab's display and click the Settings icon and set up your StreamFab configuration to your liking. After setting up your configuration and saving, it is best to close StreamFab and then restart it.
Do a clean install everytime a new StreamFab version comes out and you will have fewer problems.
