Problem with WriteUninstaller
I have some wierd problem. I ran the setup.exe from a network drive and Uninstall.exe is not written to $INSTDIR. But when i execute the same Setup.exe locally everything works fine.

Does anybody have an idea?

This does not seem to work. WriteUninstaller seems to fail when Setup.exe is executed over a network.

It's hard to tell without more details. Attach a minimal script that reproduces this issue.

I found the problem with my Installer. We actually install an IP Filter in the installer which disconnects the network temporarily, during this time the WriteUninstaller is called which fails to write it. SO i moved this statement close to the start of the Section, and now everything is working fine.

Thanks for all the help.


P.S: I tried with a sample script and everything was going fine, thats when i realized that something is wrong with my script(Thanks for the tip Kichik)
