Archive: Different execution levels for installer and uninstaller


Different execution levels for installer and uninstaller
Currently (in NSIS 2.21) the "RequestExecutionLevel" sets execution level simultaneously for installer and uninstaller (btw, this moment is not documented). However, theorerically we may need to set different execution level for uninstaller. What do you think about something like a "RequestUninstallerExecutionLevel"? ;)


The same stub is used for both the installer and the uninstaller and a full fledged resource editor will not be implemented in the uninstaller. Therefore, if you wish to have a different execution level, you'll have to cancel the CRC check, include your own resource editor and edit the uninstaller's execution level upon creation.

I've updated the documentation to reflect the fact that this affects the uninstaller as well.


Îê, thanks.
