Bind on NT

[muheeb]

Danny,

You were right that Bind uses installShield. However, there is no uninstall
option in the menu and neither under services to stop the Bind service
permanently.

But, what I did is that I run the setup file for Bind4 as if I were to
install it again and I choose to remove it and it did remove it from the
control panel and all the registry entries.

I hope this help those people who asked the same question.
