ChunkVNC.exe not being deleted - solution

[JonD]

I want to make it clear that the following "solution" is simply because I modified the original code... so I had to "fix" my "fix"

Some time ago I did Rat's mod to do a more cautious delete of the various files. I just noted that when ChunkVNC is called to delete the service it cannot delete itself so uninstalling the service typically seems to leave ChunkVNC.exe behind.

I solved the issue by creating an uninstall .bat on the desktop (instead of using a link to ChunkVNC..exe). The .bat file calls ChunkVNC and when ChunkVNC exits, the .bat deletes ChunkVNC.exe and associated directories as well as itself.

There may be other solutions but that's how I did it.

I don't understand, you're talking about fixing a problem that you created?

All of the files get deleted correctly in a similar way already with the stock 3.1.

The deletion issue only occurs when curious people run an executable before understanding what it does.

I've removed the need for the separate deletion script in my soon to be released 3.2. I've also kept a finer eye on how someone could get into trouble by not following the instructions.

Yup that's it

I used Rat's file delete code (and others may have also). If I hadn't checked I wouldn't have noticed the issue. so thought I'd mention a solution that worked around the work around

Roger that.
