cuninst <packageName> command doesn't delete exe wrappers in Chocolatey bin folder

[lexxmark]

I added winflexbison package recently and noticed an issue with package uninstalling.
When I invoked "cuninst winflexbison" command the shell wrappers for executable files were not deleted.

How to reproduce:

1. Install package "cinst winflexbison"
2. There is new folder in C:\Chocolatey\lib\ and shell and bat wrappers in C:\Chocolatey\bin\
3. Uninstall package "cuninst winflexbison"
4. The winflexbison folder in C:\Chocolatey\lib\ is deleted as expected. But wrappers in C:\Chocolatey\bin\ are still present.

Yes, check out #6 I believe. The uninstall is not done, its still very
naive.

It's #6

Seconded.

The uninstall behavior really is quite strange. As mentioned, the uninstaller should remove the wrappers since it has all information it needs. But what really surprised me is that, for some reason, the uninstall procedure recreates all of the wrappers (the operation looks exactly the same as when installing the application). But at least I can see all their names and can remove them manually.

Note my comment about it being naive (aka not fully implemented)

[jberezanski]

The wrapper uninstall issues are already fixed in the not-yet-released 0.9.8.24 (GH-418, GH-446, GH-480).

i added the original uninstall capability as a naive implementation that requires chocolateyuninstall.ps1. many pkgs dont have that capability. its very ymmv at this point but its going to get a lot better as indicated above so stay tuned

This should be fixed as part of 0.9.8.24
