The uninstaller fails your Launch Condition because when you remove it using Add/Remove programs it runs in basic UI which I'm guessing means the UILevel != 5. It should probably work if uninstalled using the MSI itself by running "msiexec /x <your.msi>" but you may need to append "/qf" to that command to force full UI. What you should've done was add "OR Installed" to your Launch Condition, that way it will always be able to be uninstalled.
To manually fix it you either need to patch it with the above logic or reinstall it with a fixed version by setting "v" in the REINSTALL property (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371182.aspx). If it's out in the wild patching it is likely the easier solution.

I got into this trouble when I added into my installer: [code] <Condition Message='This installation can only run in full UI mode.'> <![CDATA[UILevel = 5]]> </Condition> [/code] The uninstaller bails out by showing me this msg "This installation can only run in full UI mode.". Actually here are 2 questions: 1) Why does the uninstaller bail out when I have the code above? 2) How could I manually cleanup a computer if I ruin the uninstaller? (including everything .msi adds into the system) TIA, Viv _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
