289762 - When 1.01 is uninstalled, it uninstalls 1.02 as well, losing the settings, etc. too.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 247884

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[John Yezeguielian]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: 1.02

I had initially installed 1.01... got the update to 1.02, and when I 
uninstalled 1.01, the entire set of Foxfire files disappeared.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install 1.01
2.Install 1.02
3.Uninstall 1.01

Actual Results:  
It removes all of the Foxfire files.

Expected Results:  
Removed only those program files from the earlier version

Major fug-up in the uninstaller.  I'm reinstalling 1.02 now, but it seems all 
the data will be gone - passwords, URL history, the works.  NOT happy.

This is a known problem, and I believe a duplicate, but I am busy with something
else so can't check.  It should remove the 1.0.1 entry on Add/Remove Programs
when you upgrade but doesn't.  Just a note, your settings and bookmarks aren't
gone, unless /you/ told the uninstaller to remove them.  It doesn't remove the
profile on uninstall, just the program files.

Adding dupeme to the status whiteboard.

There's only ever one version isntalled, its just that the old items aren't
removed. They should be removed correctly in 1.0.3 when it is available.
