What happened?
The Windows uninstaller created by Constructor when creating a custom installer is not removing the Registry key for uninstalling. This results in the Miniconda application showing up in the MS Windows --> Control Panel --> Programs and Features panel. Each time that a new version of the Miniconda installer is installed/uninstalled, an additional shadow is left in the MS Windows Registry.
a minimal spec portion from constructor.yaml:
keep_pkgs: false
specs:
- anaconda-client 1.12.*
- conda 24.1.2
- conda-build 24.1.2
- conda-repo-cli 1.0.*
- conda-verify 3.4.*
- console_shortcut_miniconda 0.1.*
- menuinst 2.0.*
- powershell_shortcut_miniconda 0.0.*
- python 3.11.*
A manual cleanup of the Registry key entry is required
