Remove old smartmontools entries [Windows]

[Arje Korn]

Plötzlich zeigt mein PC folgende Fehlermeldung, obwohl ich Smart Tools vor Monaten deinstalliert hatte. Wie kann ich das löschen? Text:

This suggests that some bogus script, planned task or whatever runs smartctl.exe with wrong parameters like:
smartctl -x /dev/sda %TMP%\SMART.txt
instead of for example:
smartctl -x /dev/sda >> %TMP%\SMART.txt

The official installers we provide at ​https://sourceforge.net/projects/smartmontools/files/smartmontools/ do not create such a configuration.

The included uninstaller would not remove such a configuration, but it would remove smartctl.exe. The above shows that smartctl.exe is still present. This suggests that another smartmontools distribution is still installed.

Did you possibly use some third party smartmontools distribution?
For example this one: ​http://www.netpower.fr/smartmontools-win
Check where smartctl.exe resides to find out.

The error messages are results from some bogus local configuration. This is not a smartmontools bug.
