Hi all After a week away, I'm back on evaluating Burn. Installation - and even choosing which MSI features to install - is working great.
I'm having trouble uninstalling my Burn-based test application. I'm using the ARP "Uninstall" command. When I install, here's what I notice: - Command.Action = Install - Command.Resume = None I have one MSI package with two features. When I run Detect(), the DetectPackageComplete event and DetectMsiFeature event tell me that the package and features are all absent (as expected). When I run Plan(), I pass in LaunchAction.Install and use the PlanMsiFeature event to specify which features I want installed by setting e.State = FeatureState.Local. Works great - and it only installs the features I specify. Uninstall is where I have an issue. When I run "Uninstall" on the bootstrapper from ARP, I get: - Command.Action = Uninstall - Command.Resume = Arp So far so good. When I run Detect(), the DetectPackageComplete event and DetectMsiFeature event tell me that the package and features are all absent, even though the package is installed and at least one of the features is installed. So this *seems* to be wrong. I then run Plan(), passing in LaunchAction.Uninstall. I've tried ignoring PlanPackageBegin, PlanMsiFeature, PlanPackageComplete and PlanTargetMsiPackage. PlanTargetMsiPackage doesn't fire. PlanPackageComplete has e.Execute = None (and it's read-only). With PlanPackageBegin, e.Status is already set to Absent (even though it is already installed). Nothing that I do to the event args in PlanMsiFeature helps to uninstall. When all is done, the ARP entry is gone (for the Burn-based bootstrapper). But the MSI itself is still installed internally. Takes bunch of registry mods to get the application "uninstalled". It even leaves the installed files behind in program files. What am I missing? What events do I have to handle and how to do an uninstall? Thanks - Shaun The information in this e-mail is intended solely for the addressee and access by anyone else is unauthorized.
