Hello All, This is my first post here. I am not sure if there are any guidelines here.
I have a custom application for which I created a setup as follows: 1. WPF application (called setup.exe) has all the UI. 2. WIX based msi (called setup.msi) has no UI but does the installation. 3. The WPF app collects info from user (through UI screens) and when the user clicks on Install on teh summary page, the WPF app executes "msiexec /i setup.msi [command line parameters]" I have about 7 different command line parameters that get passed and the msi behaves based on the command line parameters. I also create shortcuts during installation and users can uninstall the application through the shortcuts. During creation of a shortcut at install time, I store all the command line parameters as part of the shortcut. This has been working perfectly. However, I did not allow uninstallation from control panel till now. Based on feedback from my users, I need to allow uninstallation from control panel now. I am not sure how to do this because in this scenario, I do not have the command line parameters. Since the command line parameters are missing, the uninstallation wont remove certain components. For instance, I create a website during installation. For the website creation, I use built in WIX CA. That CA requires certain website properties to be passed in for removal of the website during uninstallation. Else the WIX CA fails. Please advise how I can solve this. I still do have my uninstall shortcut on the machine when the user attempts uninstallation from control panel. That shortcut will have all the data as command line parameters. Any suggestions?
