The age of empires trial uninstaller writes a batch script to the c drive, then exits, the script
:Repeat del "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires Trial\UNINSTAL.EXE" del "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires Trial\SETUPENU.DLL" if exist "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires Trial\UNINSTAL.EXE" goto Repeat if exist "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires Trial\SETUPENU.DLL" goto Repeat rmdir "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires Trial" rmdir "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games" rmdir "C:\Program Files" rmdir "C:" del "\DelUS.bat"
is meant to delete itself, but ti dosen'tas after the uninstall has finished, I find it in the fake c: directory. Running it under wcmd outputs this
C:>delus C:>del "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires Trial\UNINSTAL.EXE" C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires Trial\UNINSTAL.EXE :File Not Found C:>del "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires Trial\SETUPENU.DLL" C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires Trial\SETUPENU.DLL :File Not Found C:>if exist "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires Trial\UNINSTAL.EXE" goto Repeat C:>if exist "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires Trial\SETUPENU.DLL" goto Repeat C:>rmdir "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires Trial" File not found
C:>rmdir "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games" Directory is not empty
C:>rmdir "C:\Program Files" Directory is not empty
C:>rmdir "C:" Directory is not empty
C:>del "\DelUS.bat" Sharing violation
C:> The rmdir errors are normal, they aren't meant to do anything if they try to delete not-empty folders, but the del "DelUS.bat" instructions, (The self destruction mechanism of the script) gives a sharing violation error. This is a very trivial problem, the rest of the uninstall works, and (If it's there) the game directory is deleted successfully, so one only has to delete the script by hand, but it would at least look good if this was fixed before 1.0
