Proof of Testing

When uninstalling an updated Netbeans based application, the uninstaller wouldn't delete a file located in C:\App name\App name\update\backup\netbeans\config\Modules\*.xml
Comment 1 Jiri Rechtacek 2012-09-27 06:24:02 UTC 
There is not a contract between installer (NBI) and autoupdate (AU) to store list of new/updated files in NetBeans App installation thus such files are unknown for App uninstaller. It's a known problem which is solved in IDE uninstaller UI. Need to solve it for NetBeans Platform based application too.

Patch that deletes all updated files, all backup folders and all empty folders in installation directory.
Comment 3 Libor Fischmeistr 2012-11-19 09:00:20 UTC 
The check-box in wizard (which ask us if delete install dir or not) shouldn't appear if there are only update and backup files in installation folder.
