Parameter /CLEAN not working for uninstaller. It is not doing:

/CLEAN

Uninstallation has always left the following files in place after
the uninstallation process hase completed:

firebird\.conf
aliases\.conf
firebird\.log
security2\.fdb

The assumption is that these files will be useful to users
re-installing or upgrading Firebird. Starting with Firebird 2.1
(using InnoSetup 5 to build the installation package) it is now
possible to pass the /clean option to remove these files.

The uninstaller checks the sharedfile count of each of these files. It will only delete them if the count is 0.

You can check this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDlls

for the four files. If the values are set to zero after running the uninstaller with /CLEAN then there is a bug. Otherwise, it works as designed.

I never managed to reproduce this and it certainly works for me when I use it for Fb 3.0.

I'm marking this as Cannot Reproduce, so that we can close this issue.
