Avocode uninstall does not remove all files if the App is running simultaneously #353
Comments
after removing items related with Avocode from C:\Users******\AppData it started to work |
when I try to uninstall Avocode there will only remain Update.exe in "%LocalAppData%\avocode" which is correct behavior. Did the uninstaller leave any more files there for you? One way I can reproduce the error is if I leave the Avocode App open while I uninstall it and install it again. In this case installer will give me the same error because it is not able to change avocode binary and files as it's still running. Was this your case maybe? |
can be :) maybe uninstall process shouldn't work while app is running? |
Yes but it seems to be very minor issue, why would you try to uninstall the app while it's running? What's the usecase? |
2 of 9 people in our company had this issue, uninstallation wizard allowed to uninstall app, then it was not closed. I don't think, that issue is minor. |
Ok there are two related problems:
But generally it's not that minor, sorry about that |
Avocode had syncing problems, so i tried to install and reinstall it (what is the difference?), after this - I couldn't event install it, because files existed. Then i removed them - install completed. |
OK thanks for the info. We'll investigate this further and try to kill all running Avocode instances when uninstalling which should fix the issue. |
I think, you should go with solution like adobe does with their products: can't uninstall anything, while software is up. You can only press retry or cancel. |
@rychlis now I see what you mean, but scenario was not like i wanted to install second avocode, then running first one. Steps to reproduce:
|
We've updated the installer to newer version of Squirrel.Windows in Avocode 2.5.2, the uninstaller will now automatically close any running Avocode instances before uninstalling. |
Every time after uninstall i try to install app again, i get this error: http://prntscr.com/7tno71
