I have created a new setup package by using the IF v1.6.0. For some test cases I could identified the following:
1. Using the new APP uninstallation option in Windows 11 Settings > Apps > [appl. to be uninstalled] > Uninstall...nothing happen.
2. Using the "Control Panel" > "Program and Features" to uninstall the same app in Windows 11 works brilliant.

Now I restored some setup package from backup, which were created with IF v1.5.0/1.4.4. Here I see somthing different behaviour.
1. Using the new APP uninstallation option in Windows 11 Settings > Apps > [appl. to be uninstalled] > Uninstall...A confirmation popup window appears to ask: do you want to uninstall...YES/NO. Klicking yes, the apps gets uninstalled.
2. Using the "Control Panel" > "Program and Features" to uninstall the same app in Windows 11 works also brilliant.

I have to mention that the .ifp configuration file was migrated from v1.4.4 format to v1.5.0 and then used with the IF v1.6.0.

Quod erat demonstrandum!
I have created 2 installation packages.
1. By using IF v1.5.0 ==> the installation packages could be installed as usual. Then by using the new uninstall feature: [Settings] > [Appd] > [select app to be uninstalled] > [...] [Uninstall] > uninstallation confirmed and the app was gone. ==> it works. :)
2. By using IF v1.6.0 => the installation packages could be installed as usual. Then by using the new uninstall feature: [Settings] > [Appd] > [select app to be uninstalled] > [...] [Uninstall] > nothing happen here. ==> it doesn't work. :(

Hello,

thanks for the report. I confirm that there seems to be an issue in version 1.6.0, which I will need to investigate.
Best regards,
