Force uninstall app

[Brandon D]

I've requested this a blue moon ago, but it'd be extremely nice to have a "force uninstall" option for applications. All this does is simply run the current uninstall procedure but suppress any database errors and continues. Right now, if a field or table is missing due to a bad install, upgrade in IPB, change by admin, etc. then IPB's uninstaller will barf when the uninstaller attempts to drop it, causing an incomplete uninstall and most likely a lot more driver errors than before the uninstall.

So long as IPB has an app key then the uninstall should run without errors.

Someone trying to install/uninstall ibEconomy is running into this problem, have any workarounds been implemented or mentioned that we can use to force uninstall?

I've had this, what I did was to visit the DB checker and let it 'repair' it, then run the un-installer again.
