I created a Wix
Installer for my Visual Studio 2017
project by using this Wix Toolset Visual Studio 2017 Extension from its original author Rob Mensching
. The installer successfully installed the app but when I run the installer again to uninstall the app, the installer, as expected, first shows the option of either repairing or uninstalling the app.
When I choose Uninstall
option it successfully runs indicating it's uninstalling and finally shows the Finish
button, but when I go to my Windows 10
menu the app is still there and still works as usual - that clearly means it was not uninstalled.
I even re-started the computer to see if that makes any difference but the app is still there and working as usual. Question: What could be a cause of it happening - and what is the remedy?
Note: I'm using the latest version
3.11 of Wix
UPDATE
It's a VSTO add-in. Now it is working as follows: I manually uninstalled it from Windows' Add\Remove program and then installed it again using Wix/MSI
. And then when I uninstalled again using Wix/MSI
it successfully uninstalled it. Question: Why initially it was not uninstalling when using Wix/MSI
?
