X6 Uninstall of packages built using X5

Postby Enginerd » Thu Mar 16, 2017 3:55 am

I have the serious problem. Every package I have built using
InstallAware X5, when rebuilt using InstallAware X6, gets locked
up during the uninstall old version step. Every single package.
If the installed version was built using InstallAware X5, and the
new package version was built using InstallAware X6, then during
the new package install, while trying to uninstall the old version,
the installer completely locks. I did not change anything. I simply
rebuilt a new version using X6. Very annoying.

Dear Enginerd,

honestly, this sounds very strange.

Do you have any chance to post a VERY minimal project that can be used to replicate the issue?

I have dozen of personal projects built with IA X5 and none of these exposed a similar issue when uninstalled from a package built with IA X6.

Just wanted to post a followup, after fully uninstalling X6, then reinstalling it,
and once again installing my license file, uninstall of packages that has been
built using X5 began to work. Not sure what the deal was, but after a full
reinstall the problem went away. So all is working now as expected.
