How to re-install
-
I installed ProGet on a new server and something went wrong because nothing was working and I had noticed that it installed the app under c:\Program Files and I wanted that moved to another directory.
So l tried uninstalling ProGet. Trying to uninstall has been a big pain in the... Once I removed all the files from server (at least I think I did) and searched thru the registry and deleted any reference to 'Inedo' and or 'ProGet'. Also deleted files in c:\Program data. Next attempting to run the installation package (ProGetInstaller.exe) again and the app says ProGet is already installed. Is there any way to fully uninstall ProGet so I can reinstall it?
I did find this: https://inedo.com/support/questions/4092
But following the manual installing in reverse does not solve the problem.Please advise.
Product: ProGet
Version: 5.1.11 -
ProGet's installer checks these keys in registry to detect if it's already installed:
HKLM\Software\Inedo\ProGetHKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ProGet -
I checked for those keys:
HKLM\Software\Inedo\ProGet
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ProGetand they don't exist but yet the Indeo Hub says I have ProGet installed.

Make sure to delete the
C:\ProgramData\upackdirectory as well -
This directory has been deleted as well:
C:\ProgramData\upack -
I have confirmed via the installer's source code that the registry values outlined by George, and the
%ProgramData%\upackdirectory Tod mentions are the only places the installer checks to determine if a product is installed. The only other thing I can think of is that there's a key in theWOW6432Node, though I don't find that particularly likely.If there are no logs from the installer, the only other way we could debug this is via a memory dump. When running the Inedo Hub, right-click on it in the Task manager and choose "Create dump file", then we can investigate further.

I have a dump file created. Let me know how I can get this file to you. The file is about 248MB.

The quickest is a service like: https://wetransfer.com/

I had a look at the dump and it seems that the only way this is possible is if
installedPackages.jsonstill exists in the%ProgramData%\upackdirectory.What is the output if you run:
C:\Program Files\Inedo Hub> .\hub.exe list -
So between running the 'ProGetInstaller.exe' after deleting keys and directories... didn't realize the unpack directory gets recreated each time. So once I knew I deleted the 'unpack' directory... I never checked again for it.
Now that I removed that directory and ran 'ProGetInstaller.exe'... looks like I can now install the application. Yes something simple and stupid.
Thank you all for you help!
