By the way, I added this: <Property Id ="ARPNOREMOVE" Value="1" />
Then I run the msi again, and I saw the "Change" and "Remove" buttons were grey out. There was only the "Repair" button available. Is this correct? Also, if I run uninstallation from [start]->[All Programs], I didn't even see this UI. I only saw the basic uninstallation progress bar. Thanks. ________________________________ From: little.forest <little.for...@ymail.com> To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Monday, August 31, 2009 5:07:42 PM Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to add a dialog box when uninstall I kept searching for the answer about this issue. But I couldn't find any example to make it work. Can you Wix experts point me out? What else I need to do to show UI in uninstallation, namely, "enable maintenance mode"? And further how to add a radio button etc. to enable "remove user data option" during uninstallation? (Uninstallation: I mean, the end user clicks the uninstall shortcut from [start]=>[All Programs]. I don't mean the end user re-run the msi again, or through ARP, or through command line - because normally all of our end users don't run uninstallation these ways.) ________________________________ From: little.forest <little.for...@ymail.com> To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. <wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Monday, August 31, 2009 4:19:01 PM Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to add a dialog box when uninstall Hi Aris, Thanks! I added this in code, then the "Remove" button is gone in ARP: <Property Id ="ARPNOREMOVE" Value="1" /> But the uninstallation is still the simple progress bar. Could you please tell me how to "enable maintenance mode"? Thanks. ________________________________ From: Aris J.

Then allow user to uninstall from maintenance, typically through a radio button selection that sets REMOVE=ALL. The you can prompt the user for what you need (e.g. a SQL password to drop a database, etc.) Set up the silent uninstall to proceed from the command line silently if you want this feature by passing in the proper parameters from the command line (e.g. "SAPWD=<BASE64 Encrypted Value> SERVER=<MACHINEZ_SOMEWHERE>"). But you won't be able to run this from ARP although.
