Auto-uninstall old...Question
This is from the "Auto-uninstall old before installing new..." script in the archive:

uninst:
ClearErrors
ExecWait '$1'
IfErrors cont ; if problems off the bat, yell again

; wait until the uninstaller is really not running anymore
uninst_wait:
Sleep 500
FindWindow $0 "" "${PROGRAM_NAME} Uninstall"
IsWindow $0 uninst_wait uninst_wait

It looks to me as if the last line is an infinte loop. Shouldn't it be:

IsWindow $0 uninst_wait ""

Thanks,

JAS

Sorry for my question.....remember im a newbie.
For this feature I need to have a INI file??
Like:
Page custom unInstall
and,
LangString TEXT_IOSTARTINSTALL_TITLE ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Updating system files"
LangString TEXT_IOSTARTINSTALL_SUBTITLE ${LANG_ENGLISH} "${MUI_PRODUCT} Uninstall previous software"
ReserveFile "ioUnInstall.ini"
!insertmacro MUI_RESERVEFILE_UNINSTALLOPTIONS

No, it's all in the .onInit function.
This is called before the installer loads.

The is no label called check in the code. You must have added it somewhere else.

I just did a copy and paste of the script from the link to my .onInit
Function .onInit
check:
ReadRegStr $1 HKCU
"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Parsimonia 2.1"
"UninstallString"

Other changed = ${PROGRAM_NAME} now they are Parsimonia 2.1


FunctionEnd

There is the "check:" in the script....autouninstall script.

But doesnt work, can someone help me.
Thank you

It doesn't look like the check label is being used. Did you define PROGRAM_NAME etc.?

No any more :)
!define PROD_NAME "Parsimonia"
!define PROD_VER "2.1"

So what is exactly the problem? The FindWindow caption detection is not that reliable. You should check that PROGRAM_NAME is defined and similar to the uninstaller window caption.

I don't think that extra check is really required.

You can also close the installer and make the uninstaller run the installer again.
