Bug ID: 57285
Summary: No UAC prompt if Tomcat 8.0.15 uninstaller is launched
via Start menu
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: 8.0.15
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: regression
Priority: P2
Component: Packaging
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: knst.koli...@gmail.com
This issue is specific to Tomcat service installations o Microsoft Windows
performed with an exe installer.
Tested on Windows 7.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Run apache-tomcat-8.0.15.exe to install Tomcat.
Click-through the installer to complete installation process.
On the last page you may uncheck [ ] Run Apache Tomcat, [ ] Show Readme items.
It does not help for the issue.
2. Go to Windows "Start" menu.
Start > All Programs > Apache Tomcat 8.0 Tomcat8 > Uninstall Tomcat 8.0
Expected, observed with Tomcat 8.0.14:
=======
An UAC prompt is shown by Windows.
You confirm raise of privileges and uninstallation wizard dialog appears.
You start uninstallation and it completes successfully.
Actual, with Tomcat 8.0.15:
=======
No UAC prompt. Wizard dialog appears.
You start uninstallation. Uninstallation completes, but it complains that it
failed to remove some files from Tomcat directory.
Actually it fails to remove any files from Tomcat directory on C:\Program
Files.
The only thing that it does is removal of items from Tomcat group in Start
menu.
Workaround
===========
Tomcat can be uninstalled via Windows Control Panel. (Failed uninstallation
does not remove Tomcat from the list of installed programs).
Uninstallation from Windows Control Panel completes successfully.
