more iFolder ...

I am becoming something of an expert on reading FAQs, blogs and help forums about iFolder.

...

The reason is that iFolder is wonderful when it works -- and I have a working install. But, I am running about 50% success rate on installs. And unfortunately, my working server is at one location and I really, really want a second server at my other location. The server that will, as mentioned previously, permanently solve my music collection maintenance problem.

I even have a spare computer, a refugee donated by my mother when she upgraded. I went to Frys and got some external enclosures to put various refugee hard drives into for extra capacity (as I run my music from yet another aging computer with an itty-bitty hard drive. All set to go, right?

No, iFolder won't work.

The steps to install iFolder are simple if you follow them correctly and don't blunder. Whereas, my experience has been that if you blunder and it doesn't run -- the problem is virtually unsolveable.

There is no clean "uninstall" that lets you try again. Somewhere, somewhere there are setup files that remain, giving each successive install the same bad info you put in the first time.

iFolder programmers, could you please, PLEASE write an uninstaller that lets us try again (without reformatting/reinstalling the entire operating system!!!)

Eternal frustration of the music collection sort.
