Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Kalle Olavi Niemitalo (kal-le) >Assigned to: Derek (derekc) Summary: add ARPNOMODIFY to examples/first/product.wxs Initial Comment: The package built from examples/first/product.wxs in WiX 2.0.1629.0 cannot be uninstalled with Add/Remove Programs on Windows NT 4, because its InstallUISequence is not smart enough to detect that the package has already been installed and display a maintenance dialog. Defining an ARPNOMODIFY property would correct this and reduce confusion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Derek (derekc) Date: 2006-04-17 00:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=518766 Setting ARPNOMODIFY serves a very specific purpose by disabling the ability to enter maintenance mode from Add/Remove Programs. In general, we don't want to steer users in the direction of doing this by default. Although Win NT 4 may cause some weird behavior without this setting, since that OS is no longer a core platform, it doesn't seem to justify changing the example. If there was poor behavior with Windows XP, that might justify a modification. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642717&aid=947991&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
