Hi all, I'm making my WiX-based setup detect and uninstall a previous NSIS-based uninstaller. The path to this uninstaller is in a registry key which I can load into a property as follows:
<Property Id="FOUNDLEGACYUNINSTALLER"> <RegistrySearch Id="LegacyUninstaller" Type="raw" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MyApplication" Name="UninstallString"/> </Property> This registry value is a quoted string. For example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\MyApplication\Uninstall.exe" (including quotes) I tried the following but failed to execute the file: <CustomAction Id="LaunchLegacyUninstaller" Property="FOUNDLEGACYUNINSTALLER" ExeCommand="" Return="ignore" Impersonate="yes"/> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="LaunchLegacyUninstaller" After="InstallInitialize">FOUNDLEGACYUNINSTALLER</Custom> </InstallExecuteSequence> Questions: - Is CustomAction/Property unable to deal with the quotes? - How should I launch the executable? Perhaps using WixShellExec? (Any tips/examples appreciated!) - I verified with a hard coded property that it works fine without the quotes. Is there any way to trim the quotes from that property?
