Uninstall doesnt work. Need help uninstalling DLL!

Open nils10 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hello, I installed the DLL but it has a big memory leak and CPU load so I want to uninstall this DLL again. However, running the _uninstall.bat doesn't work! It fails with the error: image

Any help?! I am now stuck with the machine having huge CPU load and memory leaking within seconds to well above 12GB whenever I open any pictures with windows picture viewer.. Running Win10 here.

Found the issue. The _uninstall.bat file has a typo.. (wrong quote in that .bat file)

It needs to be like this:

echo Please run as admin

@regsvr32 /u "%~dp0wic_heic.dll" pause

Running CMD as admin and changing directory into the folder where the dll was downloaded and then running the corrected _uninstall.bat file correctly uninstalls it. No more high CPU load and memory leak that was caused by this .dll before. Got me sweating there!
