Can't Uninstall completely even it's BCUninstaller

Having the same issue.

I'll try to find time to fix this soon, in the meantime deleting the NexusTools folder from the %AppData% folder in the File Explorer works.

You can also run this command in a Command Prompt to clean up the Nexus Tools item in Add/Remove Programs:

reg delete "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\NexusTools" /f

Thanks. I found a registry key under uninstall for nexustools called noModify. I changed it to 0, but I still get the same errors. Was this intentional to prevent uninstalling or is that for something else? Also wondering why changing it to 0 does nothing.

I have a fix for this in the dev channel now, the main issue is that Windows doesn't allow executables to delete themselves or their parent directory while they are running (unlike macOS and Linux). I'm not sure why I didn't catch that before, but the uninstaller now creates and runs a small batch script to delete the NexusTools folder after everything else is done.

The noModify key just changes the main button in the Add and Remove Programs Control panel from "Uninstall/Change" to "Uninstall". The Control Panel is deprecated and the Windows Settings app says "Uninstall" either way, so I removed that key. I also set the icon to the cmd.exe icon so it looks a bit less generic.

I need to fix a few other bugs and then I'll make a new release with these changes.

Awesome, thanks!
