sorry long trace..

at first suspected 1 of xml files wrong, same error when try install module manually, think else going wrong can't see what.

cheers

removing module's code addons/is not enough - break openerp.

solution 1 - try resolve error have during normal uninstall

this method recommended because openerp job cleanly. @ error have during uninstallation , try imagine problem. post error trace here further help.

solution 2 - manual uninstall

my procedure based on openerp v6.0 should similar in openerp v7.

1. backup database :). it. it's probable break during procedure.

2. find records created during installation or update of module.

   • look @ __openerp__.py see xml files taken account when installing , updating module. alternatively, consider xml files in module's directories.

   • search records created modules during install or update. there should xml elements <record ...model='...'> inside these files. model attribute tells in datatable record resides. if using unix-like system, can try following command in module's root directory:

   grep -r -n -a 5 --include="*.xml" \<record *

3. delete these records. you'll use database interface tool such pgadmin or pqsl , find records discovered in previous step.

   for example, following xml line defines record in ir_cron datatable:

   <record model="ir.cron" id="ir_cron_account_fiscalyear_close">

   knowing that, can find record based on data defined record in xml file.

4. find , delete menu items defined module. above, search xml files <menuitem ...> elements. related records in ir_ui_menu datatable.

5. discover models defined module. try following command:

   grep -r -n -c 5 --include="*.py" "_name = " *

   only pay attention models defined in objects derive osv.osv (osv.model in openerp v7). define persistent models stored in database. objects descendant osv.osv_memory (osv.transientmodel in v7) not stored in database.

   be careful , avoid deleting models defined in parent objects. @ _inherit property of object give idea that. in case, want delete columns added module.

   once discover models defined module, try delete corresponding datatables. example, model

   _name = "bg_vat.bg_vat"

   will have corresponding table in database named 'bg_vat_bg_vat'.

6. finally, remove or deactivate module. record corresponding module in ir_module_module datatable. can delete record or set state field uninstalled.

   if like, can delete module's directory addons don't see reason this.

i'm sure missed cleaning actions (like records in ir_model* datatable family). i'm pretty sure procedure can break openerp installation. make backup first. :)
