How would one uninstall a module from WG? I don't mean disabling the module but removing it entirely so that I can replace some modules (third party) with newer ones from Elwynor as they will not overwrite the files and causes a conflict (thank god for backups).

err, go into a dos window and delete them.
but make sure you know which moduals you want.
I use wgsdmod to disable them, then delete the files
that go with the.dmd file.

do a backup dir name it the file name example:

example backup in wgserv
then within wgserv make subsirs of the ones you wanna get rid of

example :

move elwta2*.* backup\elwta2

thats what i do.

Alright, I will try it that way. Thanks for the posts, wish me luck in uninstalling Hoteleconference tonight.

ELWHOTEL uses different file names, even for data files, than ANXHOTEL. The only thing I'm not sure if we share is any sub-directories.

I overwrote the files with yours but it crapped out. No biggie as this was for testing purposes only to see if I can have GunSlinger disable it's self on the scenero that we discussed earlier. It's going to be a tough battle with that but I did get ELW Hoteleconference to install after I removed the old module.
