            Bug ID: 143259
           Summary: Extensions Manager in LO Windows unable to forcibly
                    remove malformed extensions
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.3.0.0 alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Extensions
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mwtjunkmail at gmail.com

Description:
https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/export-as-images
is a malformed extension (files resident in the extension were mistakenly
placed in a folder).

Once installed, it does nothing nor does it appear. Worse, LibreOffice
Extensions Manager is unable to uninstall it.

The only cure is very crude, by deleting one's user profile and letting LO
create another one.  

Subsequently also waiting on this to make the lack of a multi-page export
feature go away forever:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Windows LO
2. Install Export As Images... Extension (link provided in bug description)
3. Observe that the extension does not and will not do anything or does it
appear.
4. Attempt to uninstall

Actual Results:
Uninstall fails with a uselessly handled exception (see attached sample file
#3).

Expected Results:
All extensions should uninstall all the time without fail.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
