NSIS Error when trying to uninstall Pidgin

2014-04-03 Thread Derrick East
I am trying to uninstall Pidgin from Windows 7 but receive a NSIS Error stating 
Error launching installer.

I have stopped the pidgin process tried the following;

*Uninstall from Programs and Features

*Right clicked on the pidgin-uninst.exe file and tried to run as 
administrator

*Reinstalled pidgin and repeated the above

Please advise.

Thank you

The most likely cause is that your download didn't complete
successfully - I'd suggest downloading the installer again, if
necessary from a different mirror.

If you follow the instructions to validate the installer signature
(https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Are%20the%20packages%20signed#WindowsInstallers),
that will also validate that your download was successful.

Daniel,
Thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately your suggestions did not help. 
I downloaded and installed from a different mirror. I also verified the 
thumbprint value of the certificate and all appears to be in order.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Another recommendation is to make sure pidgin is not set to load on
startup, reboot, disable your antivirus, install and then uninstall.

If the uninstaller is crashing it is most likely caused by something other
than the nullsoft installer.  This could be several things such as
anti-malware blocking a file or registry operation, corrupt or improper
permissions in the registry, corrupt files, bad hard driver sectors, locked
or partial files, etc.  You will likely need to take corrective action on
the underlying issue before this issue will be fixed.  There are several
free tools such as CCleaner, Malwarebytes, chkdsk which can help.  If these
don't help, you may choose to Google the steps to manually uninstall an
application (with CCleaner supports as well).

It's likely that your virus checker or something of that nature is
getting in the way.
A google search results in a number of reports of people experiencing
similar issues with NSIS based installers caused by their virus
checker.

The NSIS website appears to be having issues, but I pulled this
snippet from a cached version of their FAQ:

NSIS Installer/Uninstaller will raise this error whenever you will
launch the installer/uninstaller from an forbidden location (such as
C:\, C:\Windows, C:\Program Files, etc).

This is an constraint set on initialization phase of
installer/uninstaller and it will always check for this rule. It make
sense while you might have a RMDir/Delete instruction in your
install/uninstall sections that will harm your system irreversibly.

Just make sure you run this software from a valid location and the
installer/uninstaller will load into memory
