Hmm yes sorry about that.
I will add that to an update today. The version attached will remove the package however it's not removing the plugins as well. The final release will fix this.
Thanks

Just installed JB_pkg_mod_zentools2_3+_1.1.5.zip to uninstall an older zentools2 and still the same missing Manifest file. ... it is actually the pkg that cannot be uninstalled, the module is okay now but that should be uninstalled during pkg removal anyway.

Yes sorry I just tested the latest and it seems the issue has crept back in. Ive attached v1.1.3 which will allow you to remove the package as well.

I installed it over the old one, tried to uninstall, still manifest is missing:

Package Uninstall: Missing manifest file.

BTW: The pkg has the date of May 2015, do I really have the latest version installed now?

The package I tested yesterday that I sent to you was not the latest.

I've just tested again and it works here. I think the issue may be because you installed a much earlier version of the package and the name has changed slightly. So it's not getting referenced now. If you open a ticket with ftp details I will remove this manually for you.

Thanks

A manual uninstall is not possible because it is simply too many installations (10+) where I need to uninstall z2.

Ok ... This doc holds the location of where the manifest file is stored:

docs.joomlabamboo.com/developer-tips/where-are-joomla-package-manifest-files-stored

It's basically just one file thats showing there that creates that record in the admin.

Could you look at one of your installs and perhaps send the file here and I will make a package for you that uninstalls this?

The issue relates to an earlier version having a capital or non-capital letter in the manifest or the manifest name.
