Uninstalling other apps
Hello,

I have a NSIS script that installs an application plus three other external applications, non NSIS. I want to be able to uninstall them if the user uninstalls my application. So, how can I uninstall them, not all of them have an uninstall file and the uninstall is only avaiable from the windows add/remove panel.

with regards,
Ehsan

If the uninstall is in the add/remove programs panel, then there is an uninstaller for it. Possibly it's a general uninstaller in $WINDIR with a specific uninstall script applied as a parameter. Check the registry key for the ARP entry to find the exact uninstal command being used.
