I'm still struggling to hide a dialog button in an uninstallation case :\.
Since REMOVE="ALL" didn't seem to ever be "true" despite the path through
the installer (fresh install/repair/remove), I tried to base the
Action="hide" Condition off a Secure Property that can be modified earlier
in the code...
The result seems to be the same, REMOVE~="ALL" never is true, despite a
"REMOVE" path through the installer...
Given my setup below, how can I get the secure property
SHOWMODIFYCONFIGBUTTON to = 0 in the case of REMOVE paths through my
installer?
Here's my Property:
===================
<Property Id="SHOWMODIFYCONFIGBUTTON" Secure="yes" >1</Property>
===================
Here's the CustomAction that will modify the value of that property:
===================
<CustomAction Id="SetShowModifyConfigButton"
Property="SHOWMODIFYCONFIGBUTTON" Value="0" Execute="immediate"
Return="check" />
===================
Here's the InstallUI and InstallExecute Sequences:
===================
<InstallUISequence>
<!-- This runs the App.Config Reader to load the session vars for
settings in the prompts -->
<Custom Action="LoadDefaultOptions" After="CostFinalize" />
<!-- This *should* set SHOWMODIFYCONFIGBUTTON to 0 during UNINSTALLATION
paths through the installer, but doesn't -->
<Custom Action="SetShowModifyConfigButton"
After="MaintenanceWelcomeDlg">REMOVE~="ALL"</Custom>
</InstallUISequence>
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize"/>
<!-- This will fail the installer if a newer installed version is
detected -->
<Custom Action="NewerVersionDetected"
After="FindRelatedProducts">NEWERFOUND</Custom>
<ScheduleReboot Suppress="yes"></ScheduleReboot>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
===================
Here's the dialog button I wish to hide during uninstalls:
===================
<Control Id="ApplicationSettings" Type="PushButton" X="94" Y="243"
Width="130" Height="17" Default="no" Cancel="no" Text="Modify Application
Settings" >
<Condition Action="hide">SHOWMODIFYCONFIGBUTTON=0</Condition> <!-- Only
show this button when !Uninstalling -->
</Control>
===================
