#123 new defect
AEI: locally stored tools cannot be deleted
| Reported by: | Paradox-01 | Owned by: | Christian |
|---|---|---|---|
| Priority: | trivial | Component: | AEI2 |

Description
1) When you install a new tool as package directly on your disk (not downloaded from depot) and want to remove it (via context menu), it doesn't work. It's prohibited by AEI. (Though, uninstall works but doesn't remove the files from AE\AEInstaller\packages)
2) So, if you then delete the folder manually, the tool installer/uninstaller might get broken. (This happens only if the tool wasn't uninstalled.) To make it work again you have to delete the installed_tools.xml from AE\AEInstaller

Yeah, but what's what you'd like to see instead? ;)
Blocking the deletion of local only tools is on purpose (obviously as seen by that message :) ) and after removing a package from the local packages the installer can't really properly handle removal anymore.
The only thing that I can see that could be done is checking on startup whether the installed_tools contains an entry for a package that does not exist in the local package cache and then automatically remove the files it had installed.
