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.

To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii 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. _____________________________________________________________________________ Scanned by IBM Email Security Management Services powered by MessageLabs.
