I agree with Mimi's suggestion.

But you know, I've just _gotta_ ask ;-)) ... why did you install
Y&YTeX first, and not the fonts? If this is happening over and over
and over again in user after user, then somehow the documentation --
and the auto-install routine which clearly lists fonts as being the
first thing to install -- are deficient.

As for uninstalling via `wise', rather than Mimi's suggestion above,
via the Windows route of Add/Delete program -- is that something that
normally one prefers to do? If so, then perhaps the documentation
should stress that uninstalling (at least in XP machines) ought to be
done via the Control Panel, and that other utilities should be
avoided. For this latter, I know very little about such other options
-- and wasn't it once the case that `wise' was indeed the
installation/de-installation utility that Y&YTeX came with?
