In <ExePackage> @UninstallCommand I may provide command-line arguments for
uninstallation, but in my case there is a dedicated uninstall.exe which had
to be called on Unistall.
1) May I provide a complete command rather than command line arguments for
uninstallation? Or, alternatively, tell burn to "Press Uninstall in Programs
and Features" for Uninstallation?
What I am actually trying with burn:
creating a Bundle of 4 Elements:
- Batch-File for setting password, called at installation time
- PostgrSQL EXE installer
- MS VC++ 2008 Redistributable EXE installer
- ODBC Connector MSI installer
Below you find the complete Code for that <Bundle>.
Result:
- Installation works fine, but resulting in 3 entries in "Programs and
Features"
- My Bundle
- PostgreSQL
- MS VC++ 2008 Redistributable
- Uninstalling the Bundle just removes "MyBundle" and "PsqlOdbc" (what is
not surprising as the other 2 packages have their own enry in "Programs and
Features"
So my next questions are:
2) Is it possible to obtain just one entry "My Bundle" in "Programs and
Features" instead of 3?
3) Is there a better possibility to call a Batch-File before the
Installation than by "Installing" it as an ExePackage?
4) Is there a command for uninstalling VC++ 2008 Redistributable?
Best regards
Martin
