Can't uninstall extension from Visual Studio 2017 #1393
Comments
Using the latest version of the GitHub for Visual Studio extension and then uninstalling by running |
@Michael-Eng just a heads up that we're experiencing installer issues with the latest version of Visual Studio Team Explorer. |
👋 @jcansdale just tried this again with the latest version of Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 (15.5.2) and confirmed uninstalling the GitHub extension is not a problem. This only seems to be with Visual Studio Team Explorer 2017 |
@jcansdale Can you please confirm the repro steps you're following to hit this issue. For example, what version of the extension did you install after installing Team Explorer? Can you also please run https://aka.ms/vscollect.exe and place the zip file created in %temp% somewhere we can take a look? |

Is appears the difference is with Visual Studio Team Explorer, which doesn't launch the Visual Studio Installer. It is a little strange that it allows us to I hope that gives a clue as to what might be going wrong? |

This fix is actually pretty painful (especially if you have more than one version installed) and not something we'd want to give our users!
