374348 - uninstaller doesn't remove files (SeaMonkey 1.5 trunk)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 332358

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Dan Mellem]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a3pre) Gecko/20070313 SeaMonkey/1.5a
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a3pre) Gecko/20070313 SeaMonkey/1.5a

When using SeaMonkey trunk 1.5 builds 20070223, 20070303, 2007031309, and 2007031608 (and probably others), when I uninstall it, the files aren't removed from the install directory (for me, %programfiles%\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey). However, they are removed if I select the option to remove everything at the end of the uninstall process.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Uninstall SeaMonkey
Actual Results:  
Normal SeaMonkey files, such as all of the DLLs, seamonkey.exe, the chrome, etc., are left behind.

Expected Results:  
Everything that was installed should be removed by the uninstaller; only things added manually (such as plugins) and perhaps things modified, should remain after uninstallation.

Workaround is to delete the SeaMonkey folder manually or select the option to delete the remaining items in the folder.

I'm guessing this bug is a duplicate of bug 332358. That bug says the Seamonkey directory isn't being deleted (but it shouldn't be if there's plugins, etc.) but the symptoms are the same.

V.Duplicate.
