Hi all, I have some EXEs I want to run, some only when installing (let's call them InstEXEs), and others when uninstalling (let's call them UninstEXEs) either as part of a major upgrade or a standard uninstall, to undo what the InstEXEs do.
Searching the internet has suggested that running EXEs at uninstall can be done by adding REMOVE="ALL" in the CustomAction tag, like so: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4862299/running-a-program-on-uninstall Two questions: 1) REMOVE="ALL" seems a bit hacky, and I'm not sure if it will always be true when either doing a major upgrade (through the MajorUpgrade tag) or when doing a normal uninstall. Can someone please confirm the UninstEXEs will in fact run in either case (when uninstalling as part of a major upgrade or during a regular uninstall)? 2) I only want the InstEXEs to run during installation (and not when uninstalling). Thus, since there is the special REMOVE="ALL" to denote "do this only if uninstalling", is there an equivalent I need to use to specify "do this only if installing"?
