Description

Expected Behavior

There should be an uninstall exe in Program Files (x86)/zazu

Actual Behavior

No uninstall exe in Program Files (x86)/zazu

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Versions

  • Zazu: 0.5.1
  • OS: Windows 10

I try to install 0.5.1 or 0.5.2 and they place themselves in Users/<user>/AppData/Local/Program/zazu with an uninstaller, the uninstaller only removes that version, not the one installed in Program Files (x86)

Research direction
Examine the electron builder configuration in package.json to understand how the installer is built. The uninstaller may need to be added or configured to remove the Program Files installation correctly. Check build scripts and Windows installer settings.
