Thread: Installer: Spurious "service account ... not removed" on uninstall
Hi folks A Stack Overflow user noticed that the EDB installer for PostgreSQL emits the message: "The data directory (bla bla....) and service user account (NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService) have not been removed" when 9.2 is uninstalled. They were quite confused by this. It occurs to me that if the standard NetworkService account is used, it'd be good to suppress the user account not removed part of the message entirely. http://stackoverflow.com/q/17394116/398670 -- Craig Ringer http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services

Sandeep, can you please modify the message so the part about the user account is omitted if it's NetworkService? Please do so for 9.2 and later.

This has been committed for 9.2 and 9.3 and the next set of installers will include this change. Thanks.
