[izpack-users] Uninstaller leaves all files etc

[Bar Zecharya]

IZ Pack users,

 

I've been using an IZ Pack installer for almost two years, and along the way
have appreciated the neat things like creating custom panels and processes,
and just recently making my Tomcat application run as a Windows service.
There's one issue that I've never been able to resolve, though: the
uninstaller appears to work (it runs through the list of files and then says
"Finished") but leaves the files, icons.  Before I just ignored the problem
(and the occasional user's complaint  [embarrassed smiley]), but now I feel
less comfortable leaving a Windows service installed and running than just
wasting 50Mb of hard-drive space.

 

Below is the installer XML file.  Does anyone have any ideas? 

You'll notice that in addition to tomcat and the web application I'm also
including the entire jre (6.0), to be used by both the installer and the
application.

 

Thanks!

 

Ps. Since this is my first e-mail I'm not sure if the XML will show up
correctly.  If not I can send it as an attachment.
