Re: Can not uninstall .NET Connector 6.7.2 (RemoveProfileProvider fault?)

[n/a n/a]

I went deeper and analyzed MySql.Web.Security.CustomInstaller.RemoveProfileProvider from connector C# code. Following code is not properly checked:

XmlNodeList nodes = doc.GetElementsByTagName ("profile");
XmlNode providersNode = nodes [0].FirstChild;
foreach (XmlNode node in providersNode.ChildNodes)
{
string name = node.Attributes ["name"].Value;
if (name == "MySQLProfileProvider")
{

This code expects every XML node below machine.config's <system.web\profile\providers> to have "name" attribute. Otherwise it crashes. It was happening to me, cause I had <clear /> node there (which doesn't make much sense in machine.config, but is valid).

In general .NET Connector installer is very sensitive of machine.config files, which comes from MySql.Web.Security.CustomInstaller class.
