Re: updater.exe: Does not uninstall Windows scheduled task

Re: updater.exe: Does not uninstall Windows scheduled task

Thanks for the response. Sadly that post doesn't seem to directly apply here as essentially the uninstall of the scheduled task talked about there was just fixed with no real explanation of why it started working.

updater.exe: Does not uninstall Windows scheduled task

Using the Advanced Installer Updater feature, in the 'Run Updater' section I have set it to run as a Windows Scheduled Task. This all installs fine but I am finding that if the user uninstalls the application the updater task is being left behind.
