-------------------------
- Uninstall QWT 4.0.1.3, using the standard procedure from the system control panel of Windows. This will most likely result in a crash.
- Restart Windows again, hitting the F8 key, select the restart menu, and there select a start in protected mode.
- Restart Windows again, hitting the F8 key, select the restart menu, and there select a start in safe mode.
- The system will start gain, but in a rather useless way. Just shut it down, and reboot again.
- Now Windows will start normally. Check in the control panel, if there are any Xen drivers left. If so, uninstall them.
- In the Windows device manager, check if there is still a (probably non working) Xen PV disk device. If so, uninstall it. Otherwise, QWT 4.1-67 will not install.
- In the control panel, check again, if the Xen drivers are removed. A Xen Bus Package (version 8.2.1.8) may remain and cannot be removed, but does no harm. Any other Xen drivers should have disappeared.
- There probably will be a drive `D:` containing the private user data. For Qubes, R4.1, QWT will expect this drive to be called `Q:`, so it has to be renamed:
- Start the command prompt as administrator, i.e. right click on the Command Prompt icon (All Programs -> Accessories) and choose "Run as administrator"
- In the command prompt type `diskmgmt.msc`
- In the disk manager, select the volume `Private (D:)`
- Select the option `Change Drive Letter and Path`
- Select option `Change...`
- Select the letter `Q`
- Click `OK` in all still open windows of the disk manager and terminate it.
Preparation for Windows 10 and 11
---------------------------------
- First, be sure that the automatic repair function is disabled. In a command window, execute `bcdedit /set recoveryenabled NO`, and check that this worked by issuing the command `bcdedit`, without parameters, again.
- Now, uninstall QWT 4.0.1.3, using the Apps and Features function of Windows. This will most likely result in a crash.
- Restart Windows again, possibly two or three times, until repair options are offered. By hitting the F8 key, select the restart menu, and there select a start in protected mode (in German, it's option number 4).
