LabVIEW webservice updates does not clean previous install

[Nicolas_Bats]

Hi everyone,

I am developing LabVIEW webservices with frequent software updates. I deploy theses webservices with a LabVIEW installer (Windows platform) and I have seen the webservices are installed at path `C:\ProgramData\National Instruments\WebServices\aws`. But it appears that previous versions are not deleted when a webservice is updated and all the versions stack up on disk (cf. screenshot).

Has anyone noticed the same behavior ? Do I have to clean the previous versions by myself with a post-install executable ?

The disk footprint of theses previous versions is problematic in my case since public data folder of the webservice is stored in the path above and can rise up to several giga bytes for each version.

Thanks in advance for any hints or help.

I had the same thing on cRIO running web services, tons of crap left behind there too, so I just clean the folder using webdav as part of my cRIO updater tools I've build, you will probably have to do the same.

OK thanks for the feedback Mike_King.
