            Bug ID: 41348
           Summary: De-installing a running app gives wrong result
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.9.19
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msi
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: reinhold.hoffmann at hotmail.com
      Distribution: ---

When a running app is de-installed during execution, Wine uninstaller gives a
positive result that the app is uninstalled. But the app is not removed.

The Control Panel and Registry shows as if the app is uninstalled but the app
still exist. As a consequence the Registry and what really is installed is out
of sync. A subsequent installation of the same app is possible from the
installer perspective. But the installation may give wrong results because the
former was not removed properly.

On Window when uninstalling a running app a window pops up 

--------------------------
The following application should be closed before continuing the install:
[app name]
- Automatically close applications and attempt to restart them after setup is
complete
- Do not close applications. (AReboot may be required)
OK    Cancel
--------------------------

The message isn't perfect but at least it is assured that the Registry and the
app removal status are in sync.
