Uninstall issue

[Berkyjay]

So we installed Deadline 7 in parallel with 6 to make for a gradual transition. When we successfully made the switch we uninstalled Deadline 6. But once we went through with the install we noticed that we had problems launching jobs. I tracked the issue down to a missing Deadline Path in the environment variables. It seems like when we uninstalled Deadline 6 it removed the Path variable even though it was now designated for Deadline 7. This seems like a bug.

Deadline Version: 7.0.2.3 R (24b5c0a7f)
Windows 7

Thanks for reporting this! I think we can prevent this from happening in the future by checking the path in DEADLINE_PATH, and only removing the environment variable if it’s the same as the install path for the version of Deadline that is currently being uninstalled.

Cheers,
