Unistall crashes site because the web.config is not updated.
I installed this on my umbraco installation to check it however did not see that it requires a license outside of local host so I uninstalled it. Shortly after I went to my site to find that it was crashed because it could not find the SEO checker dll's. This was because the web.config still has the references to the dll's. I'm not sure if you can even update the web.config on uninstall but if it is, you should consider it especially since it takes the site down.
Yeah Umbraco is not the best in uninstalling packages. It can delete files but doesn't handle the related tasks. I always advise to install on a test instance first. Sorry you had issues with this. Any particular reason you uninstalled the package?
For the benefit of those who will suffer the same fate:
THE UNINSTALLER DOESN'T WORK. Richard. You should paste this on your Project Umbraco Homepage.
To fix this:
Remove all the SEOChecker tables
Removed everything in umbraco/plugins/SEOCHECKER
Remove everything in app_data/temp/SEOCHECKER
Remove the SEOCHECKER DLLs in bin
Not sure about: /bin/Umbraco.Licensing.dll and /bin/PackageGarden.Licensing.dll
Remove /umbraco/Images/Tray/seochecker-tray.png
Some of these file where removed by the uninstaller but most weren't.
I also installed the app locally to see what it did. It indentified 12 broken links which were false positives. I rewrite the extension not to show the .aspx but your tool thinks they are broken links, even though both urls resolve correctly.
Sorry its not more positive. I have wasted a whole morning on this.

Hi Josiah,

Thanks,
Richard
I uninstalled because it wasn't on localhost. I was just checking it out. I may try again when I get the time to spin something local again.
Hi Which files did you remove from web.config please
Same problem.
Remove the SEOChecker Handlers and HTTP Modules then all must be good again.
If I could fix this in SEO Checker I would but uninstalling is a real pain for all umbraco packages that need to modify database/config.
Always best to test a package on an environment that you can delete.
Same question to you, any particular reason you uninstalled SEO Checker?
I installed it "stupidly" on the live by mistake. Removed it immediately and its crashed my site
I have nothing in my web.config starting with SEO at all.
This is a dreadful situation.
Can you please tell me exactly what the installer does please what files are installed where?
I have installed it locally and 2 lines are inserted into web.config.
and
Is that all that goes into web.config please?
I have managed to get the site up by adding the two lines back in web.config and uploaded the dlls.
Could I please ask for manual removal notes please, So I can remove it properly?
Thank you.
I have removed all files I think with the exception of:
SEOChecker.Core.dll SEOChecker.Library.dll
Also have removed the two web.config statements
If I remove the 2 remaining dlls the site crashes, so they are being called elsewhere.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Yes remove those and all should be good.

Hi,
I thought you only needed the wb.config fix. I agree uninstalling is a pain but it's a Umbraco thing that needs to be solved in the core.
Weird that you got false positives the tool only logs when there is a 404.
Best,
Richard
