Rahul,
Thank you for the detailed description of the steps.
In step 3, how are you uninstalling GlassFish? Using the uninstaller?
Just removing the directory using Windows Explorer?
I expect that what is happening here is that the Update Center
notification tool is still running from the GlassFish directory at the
time of the uninstall. You check this by using the Task Manager to see
if you have a python and/or updatetool process running before doing the
uninstall. The uninstaller should make sure that this doesn't happen (if
you are using the uninstaller). If just removing the directory, then the
notifier would need to be stopped manually, or run
updatetool\bin\updatetoolconfig -- unregister before removing the
directory.
The installer should also probably check to make sure the target
directory is empty before doing the install.
I'll add these notes to the bug.
