[WiX-users] Separate ExitDialog for Uninstall

Hi, I'm building the new win32 installer for Subversion with WiX but I've struck one snag. I would like to display a different dialog for install, uninstall, and possibly repair. I have customised the ExitDialog to show a nice post-install message for users, but obviously upon uninstall it

Re: [WiX-users] Separate ExitDialog for Uninstall

If I were you, I would play with InstallUISequence where some variations could yield the expected results. This is how I display a Firewall Dialog which adds some applications to the Windows Firewall after installation. Normally, the ExitDlg would be displayed when finishing the installation,

Re: [WiX-users] Separate ExitDialog for Uninstall

Or you can use the same ExitDlg and customize the elements inside it like bitmaps, static text, position of elements based on conditions. Control Id=Description1 Type=Text X=135 Y=130 Width=220 Height=40 Text=For new users, we recommend that you read the quick guide located on the web.

Basically you can use registry search for this, in the example below I am searching for a directory in the registry to exist. To Delete just Action=remove. I don't know if registry search provides wildcard. Property Id=INSTALLDIR Value='C:\Nothing' RegistrySearch Id='ToSearch'

EXISTINGPRODUCTS was a suggestion; what you need to do is to use a different property that when set, will show a different dialog control. For instance, if the user does an uninstall, use the REMOVE=ALL condition. Troy Simpson wrote: Thanks for the suggestions Calin, Preferably, I'd like

Re: [WiX-users] Separate ExitDialog for Uninstall

The Remove=All didn't work, I had tried variations of that previously. I looked at the Remove button on the maintenance dialog and the property that is being set is WixUI_InstallMode, and the value is Remove, so I tried the condition: Not WixUI_InstallMode=Remove That did not work either. I

There is a difference between REMOVE and Remove - the first one is a public property, the second is a private: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371245(VS.85).aspx I will let others to continue on this issue. Perhaps I will look at your project. Troy Simpson wrote: The Remove=All

Re: [WiX-users] Separate ExitDialog for Uninstall

I think I see where this is going, but hopefully it might be more intuitive. I can set a property based on whether the product is already installed, but what I need to do is retrieve the property value when the remove button is clicked. Given that the property set by the remove button is private,

I will not do the research for you - the link I sent shows the difference between a public and a private property. In short public properties are also properties that are set as a result of user interaction. What you are doing is not setting a property, but an event which is called Remove as
