Bug ID: 41348 Summary: De-installing a running app gives wrong result Product: Wine Version: 1.9.19 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: msi Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: reinhold.hoffmann@hotmail.com Distribution: ---
When a running app is de-installed during execution, Wine uninstaller gives a positive result that the app is uninstalled. But the app is not removed.
The Control Panel and Registry shows as if the app is uninstalled but the app still exist. As a consequence the Registry and what really is installed is out of sync. A subsequent installation of the same app is possible from the installer perspective. But the installation may give wrong results because the former was not removed properly.
On Window when uninstalling a running app a window pops up
-------------------------- The following application should be closed before continuing the install: [app name] - Automatically close applications and attempt to restart them after setup is complete - Do not close applications. (AReboot may be required) OK Cancel --------------------------
The message isn't perfect but at least it is assured that the Registry and the app removal status are in sync.

--- Comment #1 from Reinhold reinhold.hoffmann@hotmail.com --- In this scenario the uninstaller says the app is uninstalled but it is not removed nor uninstalled. The app still exists. IMHO this is a bug and not an enhancement. Btw. very confusing for the user.
