First of all: thanks for DDU, it is a fantastic tool.

An unfortunate side-effect of DDU, however, is that it breaks my CUDA SDK install. The SDK and functionality stays installed (binaries, tools, nsight plugin), but the actual installation reference gets broken. So when I have to uninstall the *current* CUDA SDK (which happens whenever a new version is released), it cannot find the uninstall files. The only way to cleanly get rid of the previous CUDA install is then to look up an installer for that exact version, install it again, then uninstall. This is quite the hassle.

I know it's probably a lot to ask, but can there be an option to leave the CUDA toolkit unharmed when doing the Nvidia Driver Removal dance?

Thanks in advance!
Hi, thanks for the report I'll try to repro and fix this.
We are talking about this right ? https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downl ... e=exelocal

Also I did fix something in the past about this so where you using the latest version of DDU?
