could not upgrade because of uninstall errors

Need some help on this as I NEVER had this issue before and I really need some guidence.


I am on windows server 2019 vm SM version 9581.

I did plan an upgrade to 9735 Sunday night, but I was unable to uninstall smartermail 9581.  I never had that issue ever before.


Process I use for update:

I stopped the mail service, waited 10 minutes for mail service to remove from task manager and then attempted uninstall of 9581, which failed with these errors:

"Called run script when not marked in progress"

I hit OK then got the below:

"Called installFinalize when no install in progress"

 

SM Never uninstalled and the service is running after reboot staying on 9581.  Everything is operational.


Everything I looked at points to installer permissions but I am using an admin account and I am able to install and uninstall other software on the server, just smartermail cannot be uninstalled.

I am at a loss hoping someone had this issue and can give me a solution.  Maybe I should just re-install the same version I am on 9581 but not sure if that will work or even how to do that when I cannot uninstall?

 

I did open a ticket with smartertools asking them what to do: 0C9-3228D4D1-0042
