Suppress WinZip Uninstall Web Browser Launch
I'm new to NSIS and have wrapped the WinZip 11.2 MSI with NSIS and all works OK.

The problem is the WinZip uninstall launches a web browser window that goes to the WinZip site to collect data on why you're uninstalling their software.

I need to suppress/stop the web browser launched by the uninstall.

Has anyone done this or have suggestions?

Thanks,

Steve

maybe you could apply a MSI transform to disable the browser start

I was hoping NSIS would have something to handle this but will look into creating a transform.

Thanks,

You have to edit the SHOW_WEBPAGE propertie of your msi file.
See http://kb.winzip.com/kb/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=11 for more info.
