Re: [WiX-users] Best way to uninstall ExePackage that has no uninstall flag
That's what I figured. The installer in question is the Java Runtime. It's pretty sparse with the command-line flags! -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Best-way-to-uninstall-ExePackage-that-has-no-uninstall-flag-tp7580935p7580954.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Got visibility?

Re: [WiX-users] Best way to uninstall ExePackage that has no uninstall flag
You run another MSI transaction while within an MSI transaction. In WiX v3.6 you'd probably need an executable that you can use as an ExePackage to manage the state of that installer. That or have them fix the installer so it can uninstall itself.

[WiX-users] Best way to uninstall ExePackage that has no uninstall flag
I've come across an executable installer that has a flag to allow it to be installed silently. However, it doesn't have any "uninstall" flag. Its documentation recommends that it be installed with msiexec. In these cases, does anyone have an opinion on what the best uninstall strategy is? Should I run msiexec as a custom action in one of the other packages in the bundle's chain? Maybe detect with Burn, but uninstall with an MSI? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Best-way-to-uninstall-ExePackage-that-has-no-uninstall-flag-tp7580935.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Everyone hates slow websites.
