Progress freeze when uninst vs2015 with IncrediBuild installed. #73

My env: Windows 10 x64 Build 14393.953 Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 with Update 3 Visual Studio Community 2017 15.0.26228.9

I installed VS 2017. And, as a optional component, I installed IncrediBuild by VS 2017 installer. Then when I tried to uninstall VS 2015 either by VSU or default uninstaller, the progress freeze at "uninstall IncrediBuild". (For VSU, it's Uninstalling: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\... shown) But before I installed 2017, I never installed IncrediBuild. Of course, the uninstall cannot success.

Instead of uninstalling IncrediBuild by mistake or reporting an error, the uninstaller "sit around". Which I mean is that both VSU and default uninstaller response to my input correctly (Ctrl-C, Hit Cancel button and others) and background threads keep alive (Just idle with some memory allocated, 0% CPU usage and 0M/s disk operation). Seems like stepped into an infinite loop or some situation like this.

I waited for 4 hours and retried for many times, no progress has been made.

Then after I manually uninstalled IncrediBuild with VS 2017 installer. The uninstall progress of VS 2015 continued smoothly.

But at the end of this Issue, I still want to thank VSU team for your work. Thank you.

Same situation here. I've terminated Incredibuild process and it alowed uninstall process to uninstall it. Still any message pointing to a possible solution.
