Archive: Sharing data between installer and uninstaller


Sharing data between installer and uninstaller
I came across a post where in Kichik replied that variables cannot be shared between an installer and uninstaller. Is there any other way to share data between the installer and uninstaller - apart from writing to the registry or reading/writing to a common file ?

I was not aware that the installer and uninstaller are 2 separate parts, until I banged my head a lot on it.

I'm hoping there might be another alternative, something that might not be obvious.

Responses appreciated!

thanks!


Only way is to write the values somewhere like the registry or a file.
