[WiX-users] Change UninstallString

2007-07-30 Thread Brett Kapilik
In the Registry, installers created with WiX make the entry: UninstallString = Msiexec.exe /X{} Which makes the uninstall run with a minimal UI. Is there a way to make the ARP entry: UninstallString = Msiexec.exe /I{} So that it forces the change/remove/repair screen instead? Thanks, Brett -
