[Bug report 9][Temporary installation files not deleted after installation]
12 Jan 2025, 19:40


Hi,

1. Description: 

    1.1 After installing cTrader Desktop (Windows) 5.1.11, temporary directories and the file “7zr.exe” (7-Zip Reduced Standalone Console) remain in the 

          “C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\” directory, even after the installation process is complete.

          The directory containing  “7zr.exe” file appears at the beginning of the installation with a random name and another directory with the same file is created at the end of the installation, also with a random name.

    1.2 Additionally, empty directories named “WinGet” and "WPF"" also appear in the “Temp” folder after installation.

    

2. Expected result: 

    The temporary directories and files should be automatically deleted after the installation process completes.

3. Actual result: 

    Temporary directories and the “7zr.exe”, along with the empty “WinGet” and “WPF” directories, file remain in the “C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\” folder after installation.

4. Additional information: 

    This behavior occurs consistently after each installation of cTrader Desktop (Windows) and could lead to clutter in the “C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\” directory. 

     It would be beneficial if the installer handled the deletion of these temporary files automatically.

     My OS: Windows 10 Pro

5. What do you think about this bug ?

Thank you for considering this request and I’m happy to provide additional details or insights if needed.
