0001615: uninstall.exe does not work when Zandronum is installed to drive root (ie C:\)
If a user installs Zandronum to the root of a drive (ie C:\) then uninstall.exe will trigger an error instead of uninstalling like normal
* Install to the root of a drive (for example, C:\)
* Run uninstall.exe (ie C:\uninstall.exe)

[20:21:12] <popinjay> hey guys, I accidentally installed Zandronum into my (C:) drive, but now when I try uninstalling it I get the NSIS error "error launching installer"
[20:21:22] <popinjay> has anyone had issues uninstalling zandro?
[20:22:08] <abbuw_> I just use a portable installation.
[20:22:52] <popinjay> ya I figure I should do that now, but I dont know how to get this program off my drive
[20:23:01] <popinjay> I tried reinstalling as well then trying to uninstall
No tags attached.

It probably has to do with NSIS trying to move up a directory or not expecting to be in the C drive.


Why is someone installing zandronum into their root folder? That's sounds like a recipe for disaster

If you still have this issue with zan 3.1, reopen this ticket. Honestly, just don't install on the root of an installation drive.
