Hi Peter, thanks for the explanation. Unfortunately, I need to access the installed files during the custom actions - as far as I have found out, this is not possible during the transaction.
So, is there any way to schedule an uninstallation? Maybe even via setting a mark in a defined file, scheduling a reboot and then look for that mark?
