If you guys follow Poppet's write up, you can uninstall and reinstall the three components and not effect any of your add-on scenery or aircraft except those like PMDG and any scenery addons that change textures like Active Sky, REX. In brief with no grief:

 

Delete Shaders in directory in AppData/local/lockheed martin/p3dv4/shaders

Rename Prepar3D.cfg to Prepar3D.cfg.sav in AppData/roaming/lockheedmartin/Prepare3Dv4

 

1. Uninstall Client when asked to invalidate say no

2. uninstall Content

3. uninstall Scenery  

 

REBOOT

 

1. Install Client

2. Install Content

3. Install Scenery

 

Reinstall Active Sky update for this version.

 

All will be fine.

Add Remove programs you select one only p3d the main in the list and that removes the others. Activesky, Envtex/envshade, PTA, fsuipc, fslabs, others, need updating.

B77X, Do not do that! You may not get anything back and have to reinstall everything. Read Poppet's post carefully.
