2. Choose "Accusoft ImageGear for C and C++ vXX" from the list of installed programs.
3. Click Uninstall to re-launch the installer.
4. After the "Ready to Uninstall" dialog is shown, click the "Uninstall" button to begin program removal, or click "Cancel" to exit.
5. Upon completion, the "Uninstall Completed" dialog will appear. Click "Finish" to exit.

Checking the ImageGear Version

ImageGear provides two IG_version_...() functions:

• IG_version_numbers gives you update information:

  INT      nVersionMajor;
  INT      nVersionMinor;
  INT      nVersionUpdate;
  IG_version_numbers ( &nVersionMajor, &nVersionMinor, &nVersionUpdate);
  

• IG_version_compile_date allows you to obtain the compilation date of the ImageGear that you are using:

  LPSTR            lpszCompileDate;
  lpszCompileDate  =  IG_version_compile_date ( void );
  
  

Upon return from the above, lpszCompileDate will contain a pointer to a string of the form "Mmm dd yyyy," such as "May 09 2011."

Directory Structure

If you accept the suggested default, the installation program creates the following directory structure:

• C:\Users\Public\Documents\
  • Accusoft
    • ImageGear for C and C++ vXX
      • Build
        • Bin
