Cancelled setup leaves entry of previous version

Postby pfennig » Fri Aug 31, 2018 3:30 am

I'm using the latest version of InstallAware on Windows 7 Pro.

All newer projects are created as native setups.
When a different version is installed over an existing one
and the setup is cancelled after the uninstallation of the previous version,
the entry in the list of installed programs goes "dead" but isn't removed.

It also leaves an empty folder in C:\ProgramData\ with the revision code
of the cancelled setup as folder name.

You can reproduce this behavior with a newly created project.
I expect a cancelled installation to properly clean up after itself.
Best regards
