Conversation
Move the current install (and its wiiDisc xml) to RetroRewind6.old instead of deleting it, and only delete that backup once the install succeeded. RemoveAsync now returns a real result instead of always returning Ok().
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughRetro Rewind reinstall now backs up and restores existing files when installation fails. Successful installs remove backups. Removal returns filesystem errors, and the settings page displays failed reinstall results. Tests cover these behaviors with an in-memory filesystem. ChangesRetro Rewind recovery
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to A failed or interrupted reinstall can still leave users without their previous Retro Rewind installation or with a mixed, unusable install, so the PR is not merge-ready until all backup and rollback paths preserve and restore the exact prior state.

- Around line 600-601: Update the reinstall recovery flow around DeleteBackup so
an absent active installation preserves or recovers the valid .old installation
instead of deleting it. Use durable transaction state to distinguish an
interrupted backup from a stale backup left by a completed installation, and
ensure a failed new install can still restore the previous version and patches.
- Around line 624-637: Update RestoreBackup() to record whether the original
distribution directory and Riivolution XML file existed before reinstalling,
then delete both failed-install destinations unconditionally before restoration.
Restore each component only when its corresponding original-state flag indicates
it existed, preserving the exact prior component state and avoiding mismatched
leftovers.
- Around line 609-612: Update the backup workflow around TryCatch and
InstallAsync so that if a later move, including the RiivolutionDiscXmlPath move,
fails after an earlier move succeeds, all completed moves are rolled back before
returning failure. Reuse RestoreBackup() or the existing rollback mechanism,
ensuring the active distribution remains available when backup creation is only
partially completed.

Preserve backup-only recovery state.
At Line 601, DeleteBackup() can delete the only valid installation after a process stops after the active installation moves to .old. The next reinstall then has no active install to back up. If the new install fails, the user loses the previous version and patches.
Recover or retain .old when the active installation is absent. Use durable transaction state to distinguish an interrupted backup from a stale successful-install backup.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Rollback a partially completed backup.
If the directory move at Line 606 succeeds and the XML move at Line 611 throws, TryCatch returns failure and InstallAsync exits without calling RestoreBackup(). The active distribution then remains only at BackupDataPath, so the existing installation is unavailable.
Rollback completed moves before returning a backup failure.

Restore the exact prior component state.
RestoreBackup() removes failed-install artifacts only when the matching backup exists. If the old installation had a distribution directory but no XML file, a failed reinstall can leave the new XML beside the restored old directory. The inverse case leaves a new distribution directory beside the restored old XML.
Record the original state for each component. Delete both failed-install destinations before restoring only the components that existed before the reinstall.

Purpose of this PR: A failed reinstall deleted the Retro Rewind folder (including
RetroRewind6/Patches, so the users synced mod patches) and then reported success, leaving users with nothing when the server was unreachable.How to Test: Go offline (or block the RR server) and hit "Reinstall Retro Rewind" in the settings. The existing install and patches should still be there afterwards, and you now get an error popup.
What Has Been Changed:
InstallAsyncmoves the current install and its wiiDisc xml toRetroRewind6.oldinstead of deleting them, deletes that backup only after the install succeeded, and restores it when the install fails or is cancelled (leftover backups from an interrupted run are cleaned up first).RemoveAsyncnow returns a real result instead of always returningOk(), and the reinstall button surfaces failures. Added tests for these cases.Related Issue: N/A
