Hi:
I wrote a MSI file to install my application. It can let user select install
path through BrowseDlg. But once user changes the default install path, it
cannot remove any file which the MSI has installed.
I checked the installation log file. I found that it cannot get the correct
INSTALLDIR at the beginning of uninstall. The path it got still is the default
value "c:\programe files\myappname"
I found an awkward solution: write the INSTALLDIR to registry and read it when
uninstalling.
Is there any other better solution?
A piece of wxs code looks like following:
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Directory Id="ProgramFilesFolder" Name="PFiles">
<Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name=".">
<Directory Id="MyApp" Name=" myappname ">
< File ......... />
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
<Property Id='INSTALLDIR'>
<RegistrySearch Id="PreviousInstallLocationRegistrySearch"
Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\myappname"
Name="InstallDir" Type="raw"/>
</Property>
Thanks.
