I setup a custom action that only executes during uninstall, the custom action code then uses the session.message function with the message type set to warning. This displays the message text I supply in the record. It works great! I thank everyone that supplied suggestions, they gave me the direction I needed to get that task done.
Again, Thanks everyone. Woody -----Original Message----- From: Phil Wilson [mailto:phildgwil...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, March 21, 2014 9:12 AM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] uI on silent uninstall In the general context of showing messages during MSI activities session.message (aka MsiProcessMessage) is the correct answer. In the context of this particular issue of showing a message during uninstall it isn't the required answer because uninstall shows no UI and therefore session.message won't show a message. As someone noted before, Windows really doesn't want to show much UI during uninstall. --------------- Phil Wilson On Fri, Mar 21, 2014 at 3:22 AM, <sergey.s.be...@yandex.ru> wrote: > it isn't official note from Microsoft. sample code for jscript custom action: > > https://github.com/Metrolog/ITG.NevaTest3303P/blob/master/ITG.BDE_PRO/ > BDECustomActions.js > > > For simple message box jscript Session.Message is optimal solution, why not? > > > > > > > > > С уважением, > Бетке Сергей Сергеевич. > > > > > > От: David Connet > Отправлено: четверг, 20 марта 2014 г. 18:02 > Кому: General discussion about the WiX toolset. > > > > > > On 3/20/2014 6:32 AM, sergey.s.be...@yandex.ru wrote: >> why not jscript or vbscript inline custom actio > > http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robmen/archive/2004/05/20/136530.aspx > > Dave > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > -------- Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph > Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their > applications.
