How to uninstall? #187

Closed sirtet closed 4 years ago

sirtet commented 5 years ago

I don't see instructions on how to uninstall, i guess it's just the directory structure [USER]\AppData\Local\a2 that needs to be deleted. However, maybe it would be nice to put that info somewhere. Or also add a script to do this with a click from the UI. Or, what i think would be the most appropriate, make A2 appear in the apps list, where it could be uninstalled from.

Oh Yes! Good reminder! For a2 I actually never thought of uninstallation so far :D But true: There should be one convenient and clean way to do this!

For completeness:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\a2
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\a2.lnk
%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\a2ui.lnk

Last 2 of course only optional if set. But well, not hard to do.

[x] build uninstaller
[ ] add to Windows Installed Apps list

And yes there should be no other location!

Just a reminder for this: One can create and run batch scripts that are able to delete themselves see https://stackoverflow.com/a/20333152/469322 nice!

OK. The installer is done.

Meanwhile I'm not so sure about this "Windows Installed Apps list" 😐 That's again digging deeper into the system. Where we actually want a slim installation. Maybe this can be optional?

But anyway. What now needs to be done is:

[x] create uninstaller in build process
[x] connect in a2 ui main menu
[x] connect in Start Menu items
