Describe your issue

I had WingetUI 3.0.2 installed on win11. Everything was working fine.
Today I tried to update to UniGetUI using UniGetUI.Installer.exe. During the update process I noticed some errors in PowerShell during the update process that I couldn't get screenshots of. This made me want to try uninstalling UniGetUI and reinstalling it cleanly. Unfortunately, the uninstaller keeps relaunching UniGetUI instead of uninstalling it. Closing UniGetUI via taskbar icon|rightclick|Quit makes no difference - the installer keeps relaunching it.
Killing the Uninstaller task in the Task Manager and trying to uninstall again didn't help either.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  • Have WingetUI 3.0.2 installed on win11.
  • Run UniGetUI.Installer.exe to update to UniGetUI 3.1.0 alpha 0.
  • Now, try to uninstall UniGetUI either via Settings|Apps|Installed apps or Control Panel|Uninstall a program
  • Notice that after pressing Yes on the confirmation dialog the uninstaller remaing "hang" and it relaunches UniGetUI (as admin). If you close UniGetUI via the taskbar icon, installer will keep relaunching UniGetUI.

I will fix this.

Meanwhile, you can install an older version of WingetUI, the installation should be overriden and you should be able to upgrade again (if you want to)
