Hi Guys,

Having some problems uninstalling XAMPP.

Running uninstall_xampp.bat, gives me the following message:

Code: Select all
Invoerfout: Kan scriptbestand C:\Program Files\Joomla\xampp\uninst.temp\xampp_uninstall.vbs niet vinden.

XAMPP uninstall not OK

Druk op een toets om door te gaan. . .


I have installed XAMPP for Windows 1.7.2, the self-extracting RAR-archive via:

http://www.apachefriends.org/download.p ... -1.7.2.exe

Thanks for your help.

[Edit] Btw, running Vista 64-bit

Did you have the file "C:\Program Files\Joomla\xampp\uninst.temp\xampp_uninstall.vbs" or "C:\Program Files\Joomla\xampp\install\xampp_uninstall.vbs"?

I seem to have the latter: "C:\Program Files\Joomla\xampp\install\xampp_uninstall.vbs"

"C:\Program Files\Joomla\xampp\uninst.temp\xampp_uninstall.vbs" does not exist. This is where the uninstall is pointing to?

Hm. Just look at "uninstall_xampp.bat":

At the beginning there is a
Code: Select all
MKDIR uninst.temp >nul 2>&1
COPY /Y install\xampp_uninstall.vbs uninst.temp >nul 2>&1
CSCRIPT.EXE //Nologo uninst.temp\xampp_uninstall.vbs %1


So I'm copying the first to the second, and then start the second. There must be something going wrong with the copy?
