      <title>A *serious* problem with Server Console uninstaller</title>
      <link>http://communities.vmware.com/message/1229776?tstart=0#1229776</link>
      <description>&lt;br /&gt;
I have Server Console version 1.0.3 build-44356.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
My provider switched to VMWare Infrastructure, so I no longer need this to access my server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
When I run the uninstall from the control panel, it destroys my entire "Documents and Settings" folder.  This is not a minor issue!  I've never heard of such a thing happening, so I want to find out what the cause is, in detail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
My top-level "Documents and Settings" subdirectory is a Junction that points to another physical volume.  It's been like this since the OS was installed, and I've used that set-up for many machines over many years.   When I run your Uninstall, after completing there is a message box that states that the Desktop directory no longer exists.  Upon examination, the original "F:\Documents and Settings" junction has been rm'ed and replaced with an empty subdirectory by the same name, that was empty except for what Windows put there to recover. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
I restored from backup and repeated the process before I figured out exactly what was to blame.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
How can this happen?&lt;br /&gt;
