[Bug]: Uninstall inbuilt installers not uninstalling

[codevski]

Describe the bug

Fresh installs both flatpak and repository (AUR) install results with the same behaviour. Trying to uninstall a program (epic game store from the inbuilt installers for example) but fails to uninstall. journal shows the following

Sep 17 16:27:59 archlinux com.usebottles.bottles.desktop[75047]: 16:27:59 (INFO) Using Wine Uninstaller -- get_uuid
Sep 17 16:27:59 archlinux com.usebottles.bottles.desktop[78666]: esync: up and running.
Sep 17 16:27:59 archlinux com.usebottles.bottles.desktop[78666]: wine: RLIMIT_NICE is <= 20, unable to use setpriority safely
Sep 17 16:27:59 archlinux com.usebottles.bottles.desktop[78668]: 002c:err:wineboot:process_run_key Error running cmd L"C:\windows\system32\winemenubuilder.exe -r" (2).

To Reproduce

• Install bottles (either flatpak or AUR repo)
• Create bottle (gaming)
• Select installers
• Select epic game store
• After install click the 3 dots and hit uninstall
• Disappears for a second but returns

journalctl -f shows the follwing:

Additional context

Just to verify this I tried it both with flatpak flatpak install bottles and via AUR they both produce the same issue.

This is beacuase epic was not installed. The uninstaller fails to remove it because the files doesn't exists. Merging with #129

[codevski]

It's 100% installed I can still open it and use the product. I'll get a video up when I get a chance just working on side projects.

I'm fine if there is a clean manual way to uninstall applications as a workaround but if I can't uninstall these installers then I may have to just wait on a fix.

Happy to give any more information / logs if required

[mirkobrombin]

I misunderstood the issue

[CaptainCoward]

Same issue here. Also goes for EA-Launcher. Uninstall doesn't do anything.

[ShadowDrakken]

Same problem with Autodesk Fusion. Really I've had no luck with the Uninstall option working on ANYTHING. I end up having to make separate bottles for everything and just kill the entire bottle instead
