Hi As I mentioned in my prvious thread, I'm trying to get the Restart Manager to show up during uninstall from the Control Panel.
Here's what I know so far: A) If I run the MSI directly then I get options like "Change" and "Remove". When I pick Remove everything works fine and I do get the Restart Manager popup. B) If I pick Uninstall from the Control Panel I don't get the Restart Manager. Same thing happens when I run "msiexec /x setup.msi". C) If I run "msiexec /x setup.msi /qf" I do get the Restart Manager. One problem is that the welcome screen says "Install" instead of "Remove". D) If I go to the registry and set the WindowsInstaller value to 0, then uninstalling from the Control Panel uses the full UI and everything is good. However then the icon in the Control Panel gets busted. I'm hoping that's fixable through the DisplayIcon value. All of this makes me certain that the only problem is that the uninstaller doesn't run in full UI mode. So here are my questions: 1) Do you think it is a good idea to modify the registry and change the WindowsInstaller and DisplayIcon values? What potential problems can it cause? 2) What is the best way to do that? With a registry component or a custom action? If it's a custom action, what is the right time to invoke it? The action must be elevated because it writes to HKLM, but must be after the original value of WindowsInstaller is set. 3) Why does "msiexec /x setup.msi /qf" show "Install" button in the welcome screen? Not only that, but the message above the progress says "please wait while INSTALLING...". Any way to fix this? Basically I need a command line for msiexec that removes the package with full UI (and correct UI too).
