When i go to add remove programs and try to uninstall my app from there, the app trys to start the .msi and obviously that wont work because of the launch conditonm i get the error "Please run from the exe" which is the error msg that i put in for when a user trys to load the program from the msi and not the exe So now i need to know how to put another condition to do with this to make the add remove programs use the installer exe and not the msi Any ideas Thank you Rob Hamflett wrote: > > I'm not familiar with whatever product you're using for the bootstrapper, > sorry.
