[Bug 29126] New: Stale old gecko files remain after Wine Gecko uninstallation
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29126 Bug #: 29126 Summary: Stale old gecko files remain after Wine Gecko uninstallation Product: Wine Version: 1.3.33 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: mshtml AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: t.artem(a)mailcity.com Classification: Unclassified It's more a question rather than a bug report, but I've noticed that after Wine Gecko uninstallation, all its files under windows/system32/gecko remain intact. E.g. after I've upgraded to Wine 1.3.33 I have two gecko engines installed - 1.3 and 1.4, so I `wine uninstall`ed v1.3 but like I said all its files are still there. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Uninstalling is not worth the trouble to do by default, but it should be harmless to remove old Gecko installation. - Explicit uninstall of Gecko package should remove its files. I've just tested and only 1.4/wine_gecko/windbgdlg.exe remained installed for me. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Which is expected, right? Because I don't see that file in the package I have here. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

That's OK with me.
- Explicit uninstall of Gecko package should remove its files. I've just tested and only 1.4/wine_gecko/windbgdlg.exe remained installed for me.
That's exactly what this bug is about, MSI doesn't remove Gecko 1.3 files. I've just rechecked Gecko 1.4 and its files are successfully removed on uninstallation so this bug is no longer valid (I guess there's no sense in fixing Gecko 1.3 MSI package). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Yes, windbgdlg.exe is not part of the package (it is only part of debug version that we don't even use MSI for). I'm not sure how it ended up in my install, but this bug is WORKSFORME. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
