Pally, That's close, but it doesn't work because it tries to run on install and I need it to run on uninstall. I knew it had to be some kind of InstallExecuteSequence, I just wasn't sure of the to make it work with uninstall. By the way, is there a list of these actions and install steps that I can reference?
Thanks!
