           Summary: Apache 1.3.27 Uninstallation Problem
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.27
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: lsaishanker@yahoo.com


I tried removing apache from another windows xp machine through 'Remote 
Desktop Connection' program.
I also forgot to stop the apache process before uninstalling/removing it


* removed "apache http server 1.3.27" through "control panel", "Add or Remove 
Programs".
* deleted the Apache Group folder
* restarted machine
* ran apache_1.3.27-win32-x86-no_src.exe

And i got this error message:

The feature you are trying to use is on a network source that is unavailable.
Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the 
installation package 'Apache HTTP Server 1.3.27.msi'
Use Source:
C:\DOCUME~1\Jason\LOCALS~1\Temp\_is44\

* I clicked Yes

and got this message:
The path
C:\DOCUME~1\Jason\LOCALS~1\Temp\_is44\Apache HTTP Server 1.3.27.msi' cannot be 
found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to 
find the installation package 'Apache HTTP Server 1.3.27.msi' in a folder from 
which you can install the product Apache HTTP Server 1.3.27.

And surely enough I found Apache was still listed in the services page as well 
as in "Add or Remove Programs".
So I did this:

* Restored the deleted Apache Group folder
* removed "apache http server 1.3.27" again in "Add or Remove Programs".
got the same cannot-find-msi-install-package error msg as above, but the 
program went away

* at command prompt ran 'apache -u -n Apache Web Server' and it successfully 
removed the service as well
* delete Apache Group folder
* restart machine

The service was no longer listed, but somehow apache reappeared in the 
Programs listing.
Tried removing it and restart machine several times but it just wouldn't go 
away.
I tried running apache_1.3.27-win32-x86-no_src.exe several times before and 
after removing the program,
but kept getting the same error msg as described above that it couldn't find 
the .msi install package.

any help would be greatly appreciated!
