write different uninstaller depending on installation
Hi,

is it possible to control at installation time how the uninstaller is written? My problem is that I cannot use any file or registry to configurate the uninstaller. At compile time I know there is a limited number of possible uninstaller configurations. During the installation I get the information which Uninstaller is needed. How can I write a specific uninstaller? Is it possible to define a specific uninstall section when I call WriteUninstaller?

Not sure if I got your point, however, if you use components you may use components page in uninstallation as well, if not you may use the same method as in installer to skip sections according to dependencies.

Probably I confused you with "uninstaller configuration". What I need is to write different uninstaller depending on the conditions detected during installation. If a uninstaller has been written it should not be configurable anymore. The set of uninstallers is limited to a few number.
