How does Casper deal with Uninstalls

[Cayde-6]

So I've used Composer to modify a Firefox DMG to place the .APP into ~/Applications folder, I've then repackaged that as a new .DMG file, uploaded to Jamf and indexed it.

It installs fine via a Self Service Policy but the separate Uninstall policy (Ticked for Uninstall in the Package and Policy) executes, completes but I can still see the .APP file in ~/Applications

So I need to figure out how Casper processes the Uninstall of the DMG file uploaded to Jamf

Thanks for any help

Not confident in “Uninstall” processes, even most that are provided by the original developers.

Guessing the state of the app isn’t the same as it was when Composer indexed it?

[Look]

~/Applications ? You mean /Applications?
~/Applications is user specific and will change depending on which user the task is run as, unless your using Fill Existing Users, then I don't think the Uninstall will remove them anyway (only the one in the template user).
If your talking about /Applications then Uninstall should be able to remove it.
JAMF uninstall is a very blunt instrument though, your probably better off just scripting what you need removed.

@Look It would be the Applications folder inside the User's home directory

@donmontalvo I've reindexed the DMG from Jamf Admin but it hasn't had an effect

Since your package populates into the user's application directory I imagine you are using Fill Existing Users (FEU) to accomplish this. For the indexed package to be uninstalled from their the un-install policy would also have to have the FEU box checked, do you currently have that selected?

@mike.paul

I do have that checked yes :(
