How do I execute a Custom Action when performing an uninstall? The Custom Action is within a Basic MSI project and I am using InstallShield 2010 Premier. I have tried setting the Install UI Sequence to After SetupProgress and Install UI Condition to REMOVE=”ALL”, but the action is not getting called during the uninstall process.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'll assume that you spelled the REMOVE property correctly. Realize that when you click Uninstall in Add/Remove Programs ( Programs and Features ) that the UI sequence doesn't get executed. It only gets executed when you click Change.
Also, I don't know what this custom action is doing but if it's making any changes to the state of the system then it should always be scheduled as a deferred custom action in the execute sequence.
You really want to read, and reread until you understand (it took me a few times to get it ) the following:
