Description Antonin Nebuzelsky 2007-06-26 12:45:12 UTC

If you don't think about what you are doing and/or if you don't have the insight into the fact that some parts of the
Base IDE component are essential for the application lifecycle, you may easily end up uninstalling Base IDE. The
uninstallation completes successfully, unfortunatelly ;) and the only thing you can do then is to uninstall and
reinstall the whole IDE.

Should be resolved *somehow* for beta1. We have to think about the way how to do it.

After integrating issue 110566 this problem was fixed. Platform modules cannot be uninstalled. If a module become highly
important can be marked in its manifest as AutoUpdate-Essential-Module what cannot by removed nor disabled in IDE.
