Bug ID: 48597 Summary: wine uninstaller does not update list of installed apps after using the "Install" button Product: Wine Version: 5.1 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: programs Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: reinhold.hoffmann@hotmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 66433 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=66433 screenshot of uninstaller to demonstrate the issue
For clarification see attachement
The wine uninstaller offers to uninstall and install Windows apps. An uninstallation can be initiated by the button "Change/Remove" (in German "Ă„ndern/Entfernen"). The list of installed apps is immediately updated and the removed app does not show up in the list any longer.
But when installing an app through the button "Install.." (in German "Installieren")- see attachment - the Windows app successfully installs but the list is not updated immediately and the newly installed app does not show up. Only after closing the uninstaller program and re-launching the uninstaller program again, the new app shows up in the list of the installed apps. This is inconsistent compared to removing an app and confusing.
In particular a native user who is not an expert may be very confused because he/she does not immediately sees his/her newly installed app. He may try again which may create real issues.
