@Pesala Hey, i know this thread is form 2021, but im running into a similar issue.
After formatting my entire computer, i was re-installing Vivaldi, and i accidentaly installed the standalone version on the wrong location, i deleted the folder, and installed it again on the right location, but now it is suggestion me two versions of vivaldi, on the default browser thing from windows.
know how i can remove all traces of the old installation?

@huginho Start Explorer
Go to program folder of such Standalone
Go to folder with the setup.exe
Hit context menu → open here "Terminal" or "Command line"
You get the command line window
Now type in command line window command
.\setup.exe /uninstall
Hit Return
That will start uninstaller for the Standalone. -
@huginho Cold be that some information in Windows Registry was not deleted.
Do you know how to edit the Windows Registry?//EDIT: Hit Windows+Start key
Type Regedit
Hit Return to start it
Copy next line into Regedit's address field
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Clients\StartMenuInternet
Hit Return key
The tree on left pane can show different browser names similar to these
On the right pane you see a name similar to your one you ant to remove from Windows App list, (in my example install it is P:\Vivaldi. TEST)
Now select in left tree pane the one you want tp remove from Windows Apps list. -
@DoctorG This fixed it!
i tried following your other post, but sincei deleted the old instalation i didnt have any "setup.exe" to open, even tried installing it again on the same wrong location and opening the setup, but i couldnt find the terminal you were talking about.
After, i deleted the wrong instalattion i had installed again on the previous step, deleted the registry and the duplicate browser was gone from the suggestion in the "default browser app".
cheers!
