#42257 [Asn]: Cannot uninstall 5.2.3
ID: 42257
Updated by: jmertic@php.net
Reported By: ravendon69 at charter dot net
Status: Assigned
Bug Type: *General Issues
Operating System: Windows XP
PHP Version: 5CVS-2007-08-09 (CVS)

New Comment:
From the error messages that were submitted, it appears all web servers
were selected to be installed, which sounds like caused the problems. I
am looking into a way to eliminate that being an option in the future.
ravendon69, if you would like to submit the error.log file produced
with the following command to jmertic@php.net, I can look into the error
further:
msiexec /x php-5.2.3-win32-installer.msi /l*v error.log
However, the msizap command is the way to uninstall an MSI that doesn't
want to on it's own.

John, shouldn't you rather fix the installer for it to be able to
uninstall properly? :)

What would I do with msizap_exe?
What command should I enter?

Try this

Description:
------------
PHP 5.2.3, Windows XP SP2, Intel Celeron
I'm trying to uninstall php 5.2.3. I get the following. This occurs if
I try to install over, uninstall or change.
"Error, trying to access the local web service: GetObject Failed. You
will need to manually configure the web server."
Hit Ok.
"Error trying access httpd.conf file. You will need to manually
configure the web server."
Hit OK.
"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this
package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code
is 2343."
It is impossible for me to remove this software. I can't use your .msi
installer to overwrite it or repair it.
How do I get rid of it?
