There needs to be some sort of ramification for people who post Mods or Hacks that once installed, can not be removed through normal means.

There are multiple posts about this MOD where people, including myself, can not get it to uninstall.

For that mod, you could just remove the mod's files from your server, and uninstall the product. Then remove it's template mods.

NOPE... Not even close.

All files were removed from my server. The product would NOT uninstall. You can not remove the GCBOS templates until GCBOS is uninstalled, you can not template Revert/Delete a Template that belongs to a product that is still installed. You can turn it off but it is all still there. Tried re upping all the files and reinstalling and it still would not uninstall.

I finally figured it out but its none of the obvious methods. There was bad code in the xml install file that had to be removed. The Uninstall code was bad.

I posted the solution so other people with the same problem could iron theirs out.

thanks for the feedback but we currently don't have any such requirements; when you install a modification you do so at your own risk
