Uninstalling old version before installing new rescues unsuccessful upgrade

Had a devil of a time upgrading to PhadPad 4.7. WMDC/Activesync asked if I wanted to uninstall old version before installing new and hung every time in removing the old, apparently.

At the point the .CAB file finally gave up trying to install itself after 2 soft resets, I removed the sync cable, went to Start->Settings->System->Remove Programs and manually removed the old version of PhatPad on my Omnia. Since I was installing from an .EXE file, connected up again, went back to WMDC Add/Remove Programs and checked the box to install PhatPad to my Omnia. This time the install went through without a hitch.

In uninstalling anything, you have to be careful to look out for any dialogs that ask if you want to remove program data files. Nice programs ask first.
