- That’s b/c Java, like most apps, has an installer!
- An installer also registers its app and puts it as an entry on the Control Panel\Uninstall section.
- Processing doesn’t have any of it!
- The whole uninstall steps for Processing is 100% manual.
- B/c Processing isn’t “officially” considered installed in both Windows & Linux, the OS might deny it access to some system folders.
- And
%ProgramFiles%is itself a protected system folder. - Although Processing can be dumped in
%ProgramFiles%folder, it’s safer to do it elsewhere IMO.
