Why is the 'uninstall' option not available for some plug-ins?

Broadly speaking, there are 3 types of plug-ins that can be used with ContactsLaw:

  • Official plug-ins (shipped with ContactsLaw or otherwise included with your firm's distribution)
  • Third-party plug-ins, installed separately
  • Third-party plug-ins, installed/managed via ContactsLaw

Official plug-ins cannot be uninstalled because they are distributed with ContactsLaw; each time a new version is installed, these plug-ins are updated automatically and therefore they would be replaced each time.

Third-party plug-ins which are installed separately provide their own installer, which can also be used to remove the plug-in. You must exit ContactsLaw before uninstalling such plug-ins.

Third-party plug-ins which are installed/managed by ContactsLaw offer an 'uninstall' option within the application. You must restart ContactsLaw in order for the changes to take effect.

Plug-ins which cannot be removed can still be disabled by unchecking the box beside the name of the plug-in.
