Thanks again.

For now, I'd like to ask in what order does "registry::entry imaged"

I have a question, might be stupid but seems to confuse me for more than
the required time. Does the order of ports (in a portlist) followed while
uninstalling all of them be same as while installing them? I'm trying to
imagine a tree-based structure here but not quite getting the picture.

I mean, does the order even matter when we want to uninstall of them?
