Modify Repair Remove

• The DSCAN MSI can repair, replace, and verify files. A partial or complete application reinstallation might be required if any files or registry entries associated with any DSCAN feature have become corrupted or are missing.


To modify, repair or remove DSCAN from you computer go to Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Program. Then Select DSCAN from the list.

NOTE: DSCAN accepts all accented characters. If you have problems typing accented characters on your system such as è é or à select My Computer Control Panel - Keyboard - Language Properties - United States-International. This setting will allow you to type accented characters without re-mapping your keyboard. You may need to install the file Kbdusx.kbd in the windows\system directory of the machine in question. You can also select one of the French keyboards, but I personally do not advise it for most English speaking users.
