Uninstallation #1717

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The plugins do not get uninstalled or deleted after uninstalling miranda IM.

dll files remain in the root folder

Which plugins?  User installed plugins are not supposed to get deleted.  The 
uninstaller should only delete plugins that came with the original installer.

Actually, all plugins are removed:

RMDir /r "$INSTDIR\Plugins"

So if they are still present it means the installer didn't have permission to 
remove it.  It is possible the miranda32.exe process was still running when you 
tried to run the installer.

well i did close it but didnt check if it was running in background...in such a 
case, if possible, there should be a dialog box which asks to completely stop 
the running process

This is a patch for Miranda IM NSIS script (attached).

  * Added ability to detect and auto-close Miranda IM before uninstallation (and installation). Fix for this issue;
  * Fixed removing of third-party plugins and icons;
  * Fixed missed in some cases message window plugin;
  * Added installation options (see picture attach);
  * Merged "InstallMirandaPluginANSI" and "InstallMirandaPlugin" macros;
  * Added "InstallMirandaIcon" macro;
  * Set compression to "LZMA (solid)" so setup-file is now smaller.

Regarding the x64 installer changes:
 - I don't see the x64.nsh include.
 - Are you talking about creating a 32-bit installer that intalls the 64-bit files?

   - I don't see the x64.nsh include.

miranda-core.nsi line #5, its standard include file of NSIS Unicode 2.46.1.

   - Are you talking about creating a 32-bit installer that intalls the 64-bit files?

Hm... yes. NSIS can produce 32-bit installers only, and there is no need for 
64-bit installers at all.

BTW what about 32/64-bit combined installer?

It's possible to do a 32/64 bit installer but it will probably more than double 
the installer size.  I'm not sure we should do that.

Size doesn't matter at 21 century.
