@cyoakem: Sorry for the trouble! I've got a solution for you.
I tested this myself just to be sure (by replacing the contents of
unins000.datwith garbage), and you can simply download a fresh copy of 1Password from the AgileBits website, install it over your corrupt installation, and then you'll be able to uninstall the app from the Add & Remove Programs panel in Windows Settings.You'll probably need to restart Windows at some point in this process.Now, because you already had an existing (damaged) installation with an
unins000.datfile, the new installation will increment this and you'll end up withunins001.dat. That's fine. After you run the uninstaller (which will work, since it's using the undamagedunins001.datthat was just created), you'll have some files still left inC:\Program Files (x86)\1Password 4\. Just drag the whole thing to your Desktop for now, and then reinstall the app again from scratch (remember, it's gone from Windows Settings, and there's no folder left in Program Files). Then you should be good to go. Please let me know how it turns out! :)0 -
That worked like a charm! Thank you for the help!
