Windows Installer uninstalls MSI packages in passive mode so UI is not displayed.
Ever get the feeling like you're not supposed to show UI during the uninstall of an MSI? Yeah, me too. <wink/> _______________________________________________________________ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Harold Wood (H10 Capital) [mailto:v-wow...@microsoft.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 2:49 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] uI on silent uninstall Ok this is what I have so far: Product.wxs <!--Display the uninstall message box so user is informed we will not remove the databases--> <Custom Action ="UninstallMessage" After="InstallFinalize">Remove</Custom> <Custom Action ="UninstallMessage.Show" After="UninstallMessage">Remove</Custom> CustomAction.cs [CustomAction] public static ActionResult UninstallMessage(Session session) { if (session == null) { logEventsApp.WriteLoggingEvent(string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "{0} ; {1}", Resources.ArgumentNullError, "session"), session); throw new ArgumentNullException("session", Resources.ArgumentNullError); } // This is just to display a message box that informs the user that they will have to remove the databases manually StringBuilder notificationMessage = new StringBuilder("The actual databases will not be removed from the server by this."); notificationMessage.Append("\r\n\r\n"); notificationMessage.Append("You will have to manually remove the Databases from your server."); Record record = new Record(); record.FormatString = notificationMessage.ToString(); MessageResult value = session.Message(InstallMessage.Info | (InstallMessage)MessageIcon.Warning | (InstallMessage)MessageButtons.OK, record); return ActionResult.Success; } And im still not getting the message box. So what am I doing wrong?
