The old uninstaller should give you a dialog box offering to delete
them, with options Yes, No and Cancel.

In that box, 'No' means 'continue uninstalling, but don't delete the settings'.

Thank you. Just went from 0.60 to 0.68 doing this, and all settings have been preserved.

I couldn't find the answer from googling, so hoping someone here could help. I am also looking to upgrade while preserving saved sessions using MSI install, but in silent mode. Is there an uninstall switch that allows sessions to be not deleted, or do
the saved sessions are just simply not cleaned up from an uninstall. Thanks in advance.

I'm not clear whether you are upgrading from an Inno Setup installer
(like the OP), or from an MSI installer.

If upgrading from an MSI installer: that doesn't ever delete saved
sessions. So you don't need to do anything special.

If upgrading from Inno Setup: hopefully <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/win-silent-uninstall.html>
answers your question.

Thanks for the quick response. Just needed some clarification with the article. I have users with versions 0.67 and older. Does this mean that uninstalling those versions will not be silent and always be prompted to decide whether to remove saved
sessions?

Yes; if you just run the 0.67 (or earlier) Inno Setup uninstaller, your
users will be prompted. You can use one of the methods described in the
link above to avoid this.

PuTTy stores it’s settings in the registry. If you are using a uninstall package then export those from the registry to file.

AFAIK those values should remain.

Personally on win systems I have a \Bin directory that I drop putty and
similar distributed programs then add that as a system env for everyone to
use.
