It is working but really this was a fundamental flaw that should have been dealt with before release.The fact that they had to get a removal tool from another source instead of producing one of their own wasn't a good sign.
But not to mention no warning on the downloads page that it might be better to totally uninstall the previous version totally before installing the new.
Mind I suppose for a free product I can't really complain but if it happened to those who bought a licence for the pro version I think they should raise stink.
