Description

Hi guys!

I was trying to uninstall WinHugs? in order to install a newer version, and I found that the uninstaller.exe program doesn't work.

I opened the uninstaller.exe with a hex editor, and I found that it's not a valid executable file. It's some weird combination of HTML and executable code. These are the first 15 lines of the uninstaller.exe file:

<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Windows-1252">
</head>
<body>
<pre>
<table width=100% bgcolor=#CFCFE5><tr> <td> <font face=arial size=+3>
Build Log
</font></table><table width=* cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td width=0 bgcolor=#EDEDF5>&nbsp;</td><td width=0 bgcolor=#FFFFFF>&nbsp;</td><td width=*><pre>
<h3>------- Build started: Project: Uninstaller, Configuration: Release|Win32 -------
</h3>
</pre></table><table width=100% bgcolor=#DFDFE5><tr><td><font face=arial size=+2>
Command Lines
</font></table><table width=* cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td width=0 bgcolor=#EDEDF5>&nbsp;</td><td width=0 bgcolor=#FFFFFF>&nbsp;</td><td width=*><pre>Uninstaller - up-to-date.</pre></table><table   width=100% height=20 bgcolor=#CFCFE5><tr><td><font face=arial size=+2>
</font></table></body></html>

I hope this is not difficult to fix.

Greetings, -- L e a n d r o < c a f e s o l o [at] g m a i l [dot] c o m >

Hello, I would like to know if this problem (and more importantly the problem from track 42) has been resolved as I too have been having the same problem with uninstalling winhugs and I am getting the error message mentioned in track 42. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hugs/ticket/42
