Dear All,
I have created my own exe for uninstallation of application, which takes
care of showing custom pop-ups and taking respective inputs from user.
Basic idea behind creating my own exe is to modify default uninstall dialog
"Are you sure you want to uninstall this product?" when I try to uninstall
my application using program menu unstall shortcut.
I have given call to my own exe when clicking program menu uninstall
shortcut.
I want to modify this dialog string to "Are you sure you want to uninstall
<my_application_name> ?".
*Is there any way to achieve it?*
Because somewhere I read that this message is in some function in msi.dll
and I am not able to modify the dll.
In my own exe I have taken care of calling windows uninstalling process for
my [ProjectCode].
It works very fine for me i.e uninstalling the application via program menu
uninstall shortcut.
*But* the problem occurs when I try to uninstall my application using "Add
Remove Program".
It will start unistallation process in separate thread.
I have given call to my exe using CA which I planned to execute after
"CostFinallize".
Here is my code:
<Product>
<Component>
<Directory>
.......
.......
<File
DiskId='1'
KeyPath="no"
Checksum="yes"
Id='File_FileCleaner'
Name='FileCleaner.exe'
Source='FileCleaner.exe'>
<Shortcut
Id="Uninstall"
Directory="Program_Menu_App_Folder"
Name="Uninstall My
Application"
WorkingDirectory="INSTALLDIR"
Icon="filecleaner.exe"
IconIndex="0"/>
</File>
</Directory>
............
............
...........
...........
<CustomAction
Id='FileCleaner'
BinaryKey='FileCleanerEXE'
ExeCommand=''
Return='asyncNoWait'
/>
<Binary
Id="FileCleanerEXE"
SourceFile="fileCleaner.exe"
/>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom
Action="FileCleaner"
After='CostFinalize'>
Installed AND NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE
</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Due to CA my own exe gets called during uninstall process.
If I skip CA, My custom pop-ups do not get called since they are in exe.
I am thinking of creating one more exe and call this via CA which will take
care of my custom pop-ups.
I know it is very un-usual way, but this is the way I am finding right now.
Any Idea???
Regards,
Ron.
