Silent install writes unnessesary entries in PendingFileRenameOperations
Hi,

I am using a 3rd party package (Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX). When installing this package (standalone EXE) then everything is working fine.
But when installing it with /S silent parameter then the installer let some temp files (Au_.exe and NSISArray.dll) and writes the entries into PEndingFileRenameOperations.

I think this isn't nessesary, because when installing non silent all files are cleaned correctly.

Does anyone have some ideas?

Au_.exe means they were uninstalling something. It must have uninstalled the old version. NSISArray.dll being left over suggests it wasn't used properly and wasn't unloaded after being used.

Hi,

thanks for your answer.
This happens on a clean windows system where the product was never installed.
Are there any options without "touching" the installer. And why is this problem only when installing in silent mode?

They could have used an uninstaller packaged in their own installer. You'll need to look into the installer to find out why this happens and why only in silent mode.

I can understand NSISArray.dll being left over if the decided to unload it in .onGUIEnd perhaps. I need to upgrade it to the new API!

Now tested with the newest version (10.0.32.18) same problem.
