Category: Installation Group: v4.0beta Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Mike Cowlishaw (mfc-uk) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Debris left in Start programs list Initial Comment: Just noticed that my Start Programs list has three entries: Open Object Rexx Open Object Rexx(5) Open Object Rexx(32) The first one looks normal, the other two both have one item 'ooRexx home page'. Perhaps not being uninstalled properly? This is on Windows Vista Bisiness 32-bit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Mark Miesfeld (miesfeld) Date: 2009-04-22 19:28 Message: Mike, I don't understand the (5) and (32) either. It does make more sense that they may be left over from 3.2.0. I just made a change to the installer for another bug, that may also prevent this in the future. You should delete those extra folders manually, if you haven't already. Let me know if you see it again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mike Cowlishaw (mfc-uk) Date: 2009-04-20 00:30 Message: Hmm, thanks for checking ... I just took a closer look, the Open Object Rexx(5) entry is dated 1/2009 and the ...(32) entry is dated 7/2008. So these have been around for a while; possibly 3.20 wasn't registering that one item ('ooRexx home page') so when uninstalled by itself or by 4.00 the start menu entry remained. I don't understand the (5) and (32) in the name. Possibly a Vista thing and on XP just overwrites the same folder.

I installed / unistalled about 10 times each. Although I saw a couple of other nit-picky things, I didn't see this. The new installer will not delete items that it didn't install. If you were to add something the Start Menu -> Open Object Rexx folder, the uninstaller would not delete the folder from the Start Menu. Then on the next install, ... well in my tests it just installs everything in the same Open Object Rexx folder on the Start Menu. Everything then looks okay, except the extra item I added is still there. (Which is what it is designed to do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=684730&aid=2773838&group_id=119701 |
