Cannot uninstall Buildmaster
-
I am trying to uninstall Buildmaster from a Windows 8.1 machine, through Control Panel -> Programs & Features. Uninstall dialog shows up, but the uninstaller terminates immediately after the "Uninstall" button is pressed. Buildmaster is still listed as installed, and no files are removed.
Are there alternate uninstallers? A list of files / registry entries that can be manually removed?
Product: BuildMaster
Version: 4.6.4 -
Strange. It doesn't really do that much. Anyway, if you want to fully manually uninstall here's how:
- Ensure all services are stopped INEDOBMSVC (and INEDOBMWEBSRV if you're not hosting in IIS)
- Uninstall services by executing "bmservice.exe Uninstall" and "bmservice.exe UninstallWeb" from an admin command line in the BuildMaster\Service directory
- Delete the Service and WebApp directories, (and anything else under BuildMaster you don't want to keep)
- Delete the HKLM\Software\Inedo\BuildMaster registry key
- Delete the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\BuildMaster registry key
- If using IIS, delete the BuildMaster web app and app pools
- If you really want to delete everything , you can also drop the BuildMaster SQL database

This isn't an answer, but more information as to why the uninstaller might be failing. When I run these manual steps, I see an exception.
> C:\BuildMaster\Service\bmservice.exe UninstallWeb C:\BuildMaster\Service\bmservice.exe : Error stopping service: Service INEDOBMWEBSRV was not found on computer '.'. At line:1 char:1 + C:\BuildMaster\Service\bmservice.exe UninstallWeb + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (Error stopping ...n computer '.'.:String) [], RemoteException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError Removing INEDOBMWEBSRV service... Unable to remove service: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Service removed.I think maybe the uninstaller doesn't handle this situation and so stops in the middle?
