[WiX-users] Show dialog during uninstall..
Hey everyone, I'm relatively new to wix, and thanks to some amazing tutorials I get the idea of it. However, I'm trying to display a dialog just during the uninstall. The dialog will ask the user for a password stored in our servers, which will return either a 1 or 0 if correct or incorrect. This is to prevent regular users from uninstalling the software. Everywhere I've searched explains how to display during install, but nothing for uninstall. If I run this during the installation, the password check and everything works fine. I just need the dialog to pop-up during uninstall. I'm not sure what code of mine you need to see to help me, but any help would definitely be appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Show-dialog-during-uninstall..-tf4938660.html#a14136535 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.

Re: [WiX-users] Show dialog during uninstall..
Here are some get-started-quick-tips... Verbose logging during install: my.msi /lv*x my_log.txt Same during Uninstall: msiexec /x my.msi /lv*x unmy_log.txt Go to the end of the log and look backwards for Property. There is a list of all the defined properties and their values. Look for REMOVE in both of the logs. Notice that it is only in the uninstall. You can use this as a condition for the Publish element for your dialog that only appears upon uninstall. Looking at the log files is a good way to figure out what properties are available.

Everywhere I've searched explains how to display during install, but nothing for uninstall. Because it's not officially supported from the Control Panel applet (Add/Remove Programs == ARP or Programs Features on Vista). ARP and PF run MSI uninstalls at basic UI level, so the InstallUISequence is skipped. To run the UI sequence from ARP requires a shadow ARP entry, which has its own set of problems http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/tags/ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT/default.aspx. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
