["Stefan Seelmann (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1175?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12604534#action_12604534 ] 

Stefan Seelmann commented on DIRSERVER-1175:
--------------------------------------------

In another thread Mathijs de Groot reported that an similar issue happens on windows. 

1. Install ApacheDS (e.g. to "C:\Program Files\Apache Directory Server\")
2. Install ApacheDS to another folder (e.g. to "C:\Program Files\Apache Directory Server 2\")
3. Uninstall the second installation and delete the installation folder (in this case "C:\Program Files\Apache Directory Server 2\")
3. Uninstall the first installation: The uninstaller deletes all files in C:\ like AUTOEXEC.BAT and NTDETECT.COM !!!

> Martin Schuster reported us on the Users ML that his /root partition has been completely erased when he tried to install Apache DS 1.5.2 from the binary installer.
> Here's the complete ML thread: http://markmail.org/message/jwl3mlegy2vudzsz
> The problem occured in the bootstrap script which extracts the installer and runs it.
> We really should add some code that prevent the bootstrap script from continuing if an error occurs.
