Interesting application relationship detection issue

Open LearnIIBurn opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, first off I love BC Uninstaller, I seriously think it's my favorite application for Windows. Great stuff here and thank you for all the work that goes into it :)

I have had this happen with a few random applications before in the past with no real pattern in their category. When chosen to uninstall it will proceed to the step where you can kill potential blocker apps, and the list will be pretty much everything running at the moment in Windows. Continuing past that with no killing everything proceeds smoothly and app is uninstalled.

When searching for leftover crap I am presented with a list of the regular items BC-U finds like Start Menu lnks, prefetch data, and what appears to be a nice sized chunk of my Windows Registry; all check marked for removal with a confidence rating of: Good.

This very well could be completely a problem with the application(s) themselves and how they react with BC-U, etc. etc. But I thought I'd bring this to attention in case it hasn't been observed before and since it is potentially a loaded gun for a unsuspecting user.

I exported the list here for you and if there is anything else I could give you logs related I'd be happy to do so. I failed to screen grab but might be able to replicate this once more.

Hello! Can you select one of these offending applications on the uninstaller list and send an export of it from the File menu?

Hello I'm so sorry I am responding so late to this. I just reinstalled Windows onto a new drive as my old SSD took a dump on me. I will try and replicate the issue once again and gather more info from one of the offending applications for you.
