Overwrite uninstaller — NSIS Forum Archive

Hello,

I have a problem to overwrite my uninstaller.

I am working on an updater. This updater is overwriting/creating some new files. So I suppose I have to update my uninstaller in order to allow user to uninstall these news files too.

So I have redefined a section Uninstall in my updater. But the problem is that the Uninstall.exe is not overwrite.

My general step in my updater are the following



;pages

    ;welcome page

    !define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TITLE  "Updater: $CURRENT_VERSION to ${LAST_VERSION}"

    !define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT "$(MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT)"   ;Langstring MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT

    !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME

    

    ;inst page

    !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_INSTFILES

    !define MUI_FINISHPAGE_NOAUTOCLOSE

	  

    ;page FINISH

    !define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN "$INSTDIR\MyProg.exe"

    !define MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN_TEXT "$(MUI_FINISHPAGE_RUN_TEXT)"

    !insertmacro MUI_PAGE_FINISH

	  

   ;uninstaller

    !insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_CONFIRM

    !insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_INSTFILES

    !insertmacro MUI_UNPAGE_FINISH



;sections

Section "Files"

   SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"

   File "..\..\MyNewFiles"

   ...

SectionEnd



Section "Uninstall"

   ;Same  Uninstall section as in my installer but with some more RMDIR

   RMDir /r "$INSTDIR\FolderCreatedDuringUpdate"

   ...

SectionEnd

The new files are well deployed, but the uninstaller is not overwrited.

The updater (file updater.exe) is downloaded in the same folder as the application. Do I have to initialize the constant "$INSTDIR" ?

Thanks in advance for your help
