How to make old sdk installations foot-print disappear.

Problem: some times the emulator or my sdk [v3.0 MR] installation gets corrupted due to prolonged usage. and i want to reinstall so i uninstall the SDK and reinstall it but the new installation takes S60_3rd_MR_2 as epoc path so how to default it to S60_3rd_MR.

Solution:
1. Uninstall S60_3rd_MR from you PC and delete S60_3rd_MR folder.
2. Open RegEdit
3. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Nokia\com.nokia.s60 and check the counter value
4. if the counter value not "0" then set it to 0.
5. restart PC and install S60_3rd_MR again.
