Installing wsltty into C:\Users\jacko\AppData\Local\wsltty

innateessence commented 4 years ago

Reinstalling results in the same issue (when installing the latest version 3.4.3)

Reinstalling version 3.0.6 fixes the issue but wsltty still exists on my system without a proper way to remove it.

innateessence commented 4 years ago

It's very possible I tried to upgrade to a later version previously, noticed wsltty was messed up afterwards, and then reinstalled 3.0.6 (since I kept the original installer) so that may be extremely relevant information regarding this issue. (This would have been done before ever attempting an uninstall) Although I'm not 100% certain that I've done this, it's very likely.

I'd be really grateful for a method/advice on how to completely remove wsltty (That way I can simply install it with scoop and depend on that to manage updating/uninstalling/ect)

Did you check instruction at https://github.com/mintty/wsltty#uninstallation? (cf #258) Fully automatic uninstallation is currently not provided. (cf https://github.com/mintty/wsltty/issues/15#issuecomment-260767085)

Did you check instruction at https://github.com/mintty/wsltty#uninstallation? (cf #258) Fully automatic uninstallation is currently not provided. (cf #15 (comment))

The only part I didn't follow was manually deleting the install directory. Considering the output, I thought it was safe to assume the uninstall script didn't do it's job properly so I didn't want to delete the directory just yet. (I suspected something similar to #15 might happen to me)

I may have run the uninstall script outside of the wsltty install directory after realizing that upgrading appeared to mess things up As well, I can't quite remember for sure.

btw, thanks for making wsltty.
