Hello,

 

I'm trying to get an EXE to fire off after un-installation occurs.
Following several forum posts regarding similar attempts, I have come up
with this:

 

      <CustomAction Id="RunNoShell" Property="NOSHELLPROP" ExeCommand=""
Return="ignore" />

      

      <Property Id="NOSHELLPROP">

        <DirectorySearch Id="MYREDISTDIR" Path="[WindowsFolder]"
Depth="0">

           <FileSearch Id="MYEXEFILESEARCH" Name="NoShell.exe" />

        </DirectorySearch>

      </Property>

 

      <InstallExecuteSequence>

        <Custom Action="RunNoShell"
After="InstallFinalize">REMOVE="ALL"</Custom>

      </InstallExecuteSequence>

 

This appears to be correct, as I get the following in my log during
uninstall:

 

MSI (s) (D0:74) [16:07:32:055]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding NOSHELLPROP
property. Its value is 'C:\WINDOWS\NoShell.exe'.

Blah blah blah....

MSI (s) (D0:74) [16:07:32:258]: Doing action: RunNoShell

 

However, I get no indication that the EXE has actually ran (it should
alter some REG values and throw a Message Box up).  Am I missing
something here?

 

Also, I'm noticing none of the REG values set by my installer are
removed on un-installation.  Is this normal?  I would like them to be
deleted, but the WIXWIKI states that there is no way to remove a
registry value during uninstall
(http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=RemoveRegistryValue_Element).

 

Thanks,

 

Alan
