[Scilab-users] atomsRemove('IPCV')

[P M]

...[ if it is under windows, have you tried to launch the Scilab as
Administrator? (right click on the icon, and choose run as administrator) ]
...

...indeed...I am on win7.

I did not open Scilab with admin rights....didn't expect this, because with
Scilab 5.x versions I could use atomsRemove() just like that.

now here's a little research:

start Scilab *6.0.2* without admin rights

- install SciCV with atoms.....done...close / restart Scilab ...OK toolbox
is installed
- remove SciCV with atoms ...done...close / restart Scilab ... OK toolbox
is removed

- install IPCV with atoms ....done...close/restart Scilab....OK toolbox is
installed
- remove IPCV with atoms ...done...close / restart Scilab ... OK toolbox is
removed ....mh...why now?

I'll not redo this with Scilab 6.0.1 (since it's already removed from the
PC) and stop here...case closed

Best regards,
Philipp
