[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
