there are a couple of things i must do but i should ask first:

1. "winget install puredata"

i tried to be smart and always trigger "interactive installs" and test it locally but when i tried to add the package friendly people from Microsoft didn't approve it and they are right :)

see: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/111566#issuecomment-1625580667

2. "Wipe prefs"

i'm not really sure if this is needed but may be useful if prefs are stopping people from loading the app (as it was reported by oliver: https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2023-06/132360.html )

actually we have a radio button menu for

[ ] run the uninstaller     [ ] continue

we can add

[ ] clear Pd prefs and exit (try this if Pd is not loading anymore)

3. "make the uninstaller recursively delete install path"

actually this is not happening but if someone is running the installer without an uninstall, files that changed names get accumulated and successive uninstalls loose track of them. this can lead to people browsing "reference" or "examples" not meant for their pd-version

thoughts welcomed :)
