Uninstall seems a bit, well, OFF!

[NewsArchive]

Yeah, OFF - that works!<g>

Text displayed is a bit odd and when you click OK nothing gets
uninstalled. Same behavior from Programs and Features.

This is using the pre-release, sb100_6009_dev.exe

Hi Lee,

hmmm, looks okay here on my uninstalls (see attached screenshot).

Is yours a "custom" uninstall or a "standard" one? Would it be possible to
send me a small demo project (.sbp)?

Thanks so much.

Since I have no idea what a "custom" uninstall is I'd say it's a
"standard" uninstall, ie: whatever the smoke and mirrors generate!<g>

I have a lot to do today but if I run into it again I'll get something
to you. I've never had an SB uninstall do this before so it caught me
a bit off guard!

Just admit it, you setup your website to download the buggy version
just because it was ME! Go ahead, admit it?????<g>

I can confirm that you are using a "standard" uninstall <g>. BTW, you can
add a fully customized "custom" uninstall script in SetupBuilder to fine
tune your uninstall process ;-) But even that would not help here to fix my
bug.

I emailed a zip with a bare bones script and some screen captures.
Please tell me what kinda of boneheaded mistake I've made!<g>

Thanks for the ZIP. You did not make any mistake -- but I DID <g>

And I'm sure it will be corrected. The idea simply caught me off guard
since I was certain the mistake HAD to be mine. You ARE human!<g>

Apparently I'm the only 3rd party that fully tests their installs, go
figure, I believe it's called OCD! Might need to up my dosage!<g>

If I go back to a release build before C11 support was added
everything works as expected. I even went back to the first build of
SB for C11 and I get the same results - uninstall is flummoxed.

I have some other work to do but I can not release any 3rd party
installs that work like this. HELP!<g>

I've attached a non-signed utterly simplistic script if anyone else
wants to give it a try. It installs correctly it's just that the
uninstall has odd text and fails to do anything when run.

I can reproduce this with your project. Item in review.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

Why would anyone test their SB installs??? We all know they are
perfect, nothing to test, waste of time!<g> I've made a point of going
through the whole thing once every 10 years. I will again in 2020!

It's sad that you don't have the confidence in Friedrich that the rest of
us do!

Obviously HE meant it to work that way!

Ouch! I introduced a stupid bug when I "optimized" the compiler source code
:-( I'll upload a new build today.

Thanks again !!!! :-)
