Hi, Even am also new to this :(
Windows installer will automatically take care for installation/uninstallation Command: msiexec /x xxxx.msi The above command you can run from command prompt(where your msi is placed. For example if it is in C drive, then C:\msiexec /x xxx.msi). Custom action is not required for installation/uninstallation Hope this clears. ramya ragupathy wrote: > > Hi > am new to wix and i need ur help in knowing how to > code for uninstallation in wix..coul u pls guide me through > the uninstallation process in wix? > i tried uninstalling by using the command msiexec /x in a custom action > and i had an error poping up > > > TIA > ramya > > > > SaiTeja wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> My INSTALDIR refers to C:\Program Files\Test Program\Client >> >> Client Folder has, Some files and One folder with one file >> >> While uninstalling, all files in Client are deleted properly.
