No. Windows says basically, oh, this is an MSI product so I'll just call the appropriate Msi API call directly.

Subject: [WiX-users] UninstallString is incorrect to uninstall the product. This probably has to do with the fact that I have the element <MajorUpgrade> in the .wxs but I notice that in the registry the UninstallString is the same as the InstallString something like "msiexec -I{ABCDE....}". The software doesn't actually get uninstalled with this string I have to use (and the Add/Remove Program uses) "msiexec -X{ABCDE....}" to uninstall the product. Is there a way to make the uninstall string something that will really uninstall the product?

I looked at the values in the table in the following article http://stackoverflow.com/questions/320921/how-to-add-a-wix-custom-action-that-happens-only-on-uninstall-via-msi and I don't think they are correct! Are they? Why do I need >(NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE) AND (REMOVE="ALL") to detect the uninstall if accoriding to the table NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE should be enough? How do I easily check those values when the installer runs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users *** Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail, including any associated or attached files, is intended solely for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
