Hi Friends, While trying to help someone with a problem in a forum, I needed to uninstall 0.92.0, 64-bit, exe installer on Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit (and then to install 0.92.1). There was something unusual happening during the uninstall that I had not seen before, and I wasn't sure if I was choosing the right options, so I wanted to cancel the uninstall, until I could investigate the unusual things.
- Just wondering, I'm not a Windows user:
I'm not sure I fully understand: did you try to cancel before the actual uninstall process had started, or after?
If after: Does it even make sense to hit 'Cancel' when the deinstallation process has already started and files have been deleted? As far as I understand, this would leave you with a broken installation.
I'd think it would be doing the right thing if it doesn't allow you to stop the process in that case, for the sake of your system's integrity.
(Yeah, I understand that in that case, the availability of those buttons is misleading. Maybe they were a leftover from a previous part of the dialog?)
Regards, Maren
But I found there was no way to. Both the Cancel button and Backbutton, as well as the X Close Window button (top-right corner) are all grayed out the whole time. I even tried Alt + F4, to kill the window. It did kill the Programs and Features window, but not the uninstall dialog. Before I could get out the Task Manager to try and kill the process, the uninstall was finished. Even then, the only available button was Finish. Cancel and Back were still grayed out, as well as the X Close button. Tried Alt + F4 again, but there was no way out of this uninstall. Later, eventually I figured out what caused the unusual things that I saw, and realized they were not a problem after all. But I still think it should be possible to stop the uninstall, just like you can stop the installation process. Searching LP did not turn up any previous report, although as usual, sometimes I don't find the right search words, or I don't recognize technical language, or sometimes the report is buried under a title that doesn't predict it would be there. So should this need a bug report? Or is there some reason why the uninstallation can't be stopped?
Thank you very much :-) brynn
