Hi, All
Is there any way to write uninstall file separately when build install file? We need setup.exe and uninstall.exe files.

Write uninstall file
Hi, All
Is there any way to write uninstall file separately when build install file? We need setup.exe and uninstall.exe files.
You can create another installer which will actually uninstall. You can also make it a dummy installer that just extracts the uninstaller to $EXEDIR and execute the dummy installer directly after creating it. Another possibility is a switch for the real uninstaller that makes it silently extract the uninstaller.
It's easy way copy&paste unninstall instruction in another file and build it. But when I fix unininstall section in first file I must do the same in second file. Inconveniently :(
As I understand, WriteUninstall command make uninstall exe file, but setup builder pack it and delete from disk. Can I save this file on disk?
Then use one of the other two methods, maintain the uninstaller code in the other file, or have one script which can generate both the installer and the uninstaller depending on a define.

BTW, what happened to the old romko user? Did you lose the password? I can reset it for you.
Ok. Set !define is preferably, than change 2 files

I don't think it's necessary for all users. Why would you want to have a separate uninstaller before the user even installed the application?
As for IRC, download a client, or use an online one.

Why not have the new uninstaller handle both?

Replace new uninstall section in upgrade file? Duplicate code, again
Have Upgrade 2.0 write a new uninstaller that handles uninstalling both 2.0 and 1.0.

It can be in a common that file that can be !include'd from both. But nothing I've said so far is a standard or anything like that... Whatever works for you is fine.
What about IRC? Are you coming?
Originally posted by kichikI'll set !define in setup file for making uninstall.exe. It's easy.
