Uninstalling Helios Developer Tools Before Helios results in Helios being unable to uninstall. #768

Describe the Helios Issue

When both Helios and Helios Developer Tools are installed, and an uninstall of Helios Developer Tools is preformed, files laid down
by the Helios installer will be removed. This certainly causes Helios to fail to uninstall, but it will likely cause issues with Profile Explorer and Control Center.
This can be circumvented by going into Windows "Add or Remove programs" and performing a repair operation on Helios.

Steps to Reproduce the problem

Install Helios from the msi
Install Helios Developer Tools from the msi
uninstall Helios Developer Tools
uninstall Helios
Pop-up shows to say that HeliosInstallerSupport.dll cannot be found, and the uninstall rolls back.

Expected behavior

All of the files laid down by an installation of Helios should remain following an uninstall of Helios Developer Tools.

The following files are removed from Helios when Helios Developer Tools is uninstalled

GoogleDiffMatchPatch.dll
HeliosInstallerSupport.dll
Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.dll
Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell.dll
Newtonsoft.Json.Schema.dll
RectpackSharp.dll (only in 1.6.603)
System.IO.Compression.dll
System.IO.Compression.FileSystem.dll

Please complete the following information:

  • Helios Version - unclear but both 1.6.602 and 1.6.603 exhibit the problem
  • DCS Version N/A
  • BMS Version N/A

The problem happened while using
