Hi All,
I have an application having a windows service. When I try to remove the app, ocassionally the uninstall process stalls completely. Only a hard reboot kills the uninstall.
After the reboot, if I manually stop the service, the uninstall works perfect.
Looking at the logs InstallValidate seems to be dying.

In cases where the uninstallation went thru, the above log lines are followed by the list of files held by the service.
With all the above data, it seems that the service is holding up some file handles and InstallValidate is trying to enumerate the same... [JUST A GUESS] Not sure whats happening exactly.
Any pointers??
Thanks for your help.

Amit

Did you generate the log with the ! option?

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for the reply. I used the VoiceWarmUp method of logging the uninstall.
I shall try with '!' as well, and update the post.
Thanks again.

So the log ends with the same line?

Did you enable logging on the command line or via the registry or group policy? I'm not sure the ! parameter works there, only on the command line.
