Hi there,
My setup:
- PowerPoint add-in
- Visual Studio setup project msi installer (all users)
- automatic silent updates
Issue:
On computers with Windows 10 version 1709, after uninstalling the add-in, the Add-in express updater process remains running (I see it in task manager) and the corresponding add-in folder in Program Data directory (that holds the updater and the service files) remains on the disk (together with the updater and service executable and config files). The service process is uninstalled correctly and is no longer running.
On other computers (with Windows version 21H1) both Add-in Express updater and service are uninstalled correctly and the add-in folder in Program Data gets deleted.
Any idea why the updater process isn't killed and the add-in folder isn't deleted after uninstall? Any suggestion how to force a kill and a delete on uninstall?
Adrian
P.S. The same issue happens on Windows 10 version 1709 with a basic Excel add-in, per user. The updater app remain running after uninstall and the corresponding add-in folder (now it is in C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local directory) remains untouched. I used the same Excel sample add-in built for me by one of your colleagues, following another thread.
I can send a video showing what's happening, if needed.
P.P.S. Here is the adxregistrator.log for the basic Excel add-in, it shows a "Destination array is not long enough to copy all the items in the collection." when trying to close the updater. Same error for my PowerPoint add-in. The add-in data folder is not deleted after restart.

Hi Adrian,
I can't reproduce the issue. Do you have any errors in the updater log? |

Hi Adrian,
It seems that the updater application hangs. Do you have any antivirus software running on the PC? |

Hi Sergey,
No, it's a clean installation of Windows build 1709. And the same error happens on two different machines with this Windows version, so I think the best to replicate it is to test on this Windows version. |

I don't know if it helps, but I managed to kill the updater process and then delete the add-in folder in program data through a custom action dll added to the MSI Uninstall section (after adxregistrator entry). So the updater is not blocked (at least not after the whole uninstall process finished). But this is not exactly the correct way to do it... |

Hi Adrian,
I don't have any PCs with old builds of Windows 10. I will try to setup a VPC with 1709 and will let you know about results. |

Hi Adrian,
I reproduced the issue in Windows 10 (1709). I will review the source code of the updater and will let you know about results soon. |
