Hey Basj,

That didn't work at all.  The batch file executed as expected, then it automatically launched the Installer to uninstall, then it ran into the issue where DLL assemblies are be locked by a process(s).

Hey,

I also ran the purge batch file twice and both times it fails the same.  The Fences app is still registered as an installed app.

I tried to install again over the corrupted install and this appears to have worked.

I noticed some Registry keys were not 'purged' by your purge process?

Security software didn't block this.

This is a software development system and we develop/test batch files quite often!  Nothing gets blocked here.

Looking at the screenshots, it seems Fences may not have been allowed to fully unload from the system, which could explain why some files remained locked—it was likely still active in the background.

I mentioned that something might be interfering with the unloading process. While it's hard to say for sure, a security setting is a strong possibility. Since I don’t have visibility into your system’s configuration, I suggested disabling the security software temporarily to test whether that makes a difference.

That said, since the core issue is now resolved, there’s no need to pursue it further.

Appreciate the follow-up!
