Hi,
<CustomAction Id="CallRegASM" Directory="INSTALLDIR" Win64="no"
ExeCommand=""[WindowsFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm.exe"
/codebase "[INSTALLDIR]MyAssembly.dll"" Return="check" />
works fine.
If uninstall I would use
<CustomAction Id="CallUnRegASM" Directory="INSTALLDIR" Win64="no"
ExeCommand=""[WindowsFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm.exe"
/unregister "[INSTALLDIR]MyAssembly.dll"" Return="check" />
to unregister MyAssembly.dll. I suppose it should happen before the files
are removed otherwise the dll will not be found.
If I call regasm /unregister my.dll from command line it works.
Where should I place the second CA in wxs to work by uninstalling
and which attribute has to be used to have it working?
I suppose:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<LaunchConditions After="AppSearch" />
<Custom Action='CallRegASM' After='InstallFinalize'>NOT
Installed</Custom>
I suppose somewhere here:
<Custom Action='CallUnRegASM' After='CostFinalize'>Installed</Custom>
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize" />
</InstallExecuteSequence>
but it deliveres an error 2732
Thanks in advance for any quick help,
Peter
