I don't know how possible this is but I am hoping that it is easy.

When I was using the Wise InstallBuilder program, it had an "Add Text to
INSTALL.LOG" script command. It allowed me to add more files and folders to be
uninstalled that were created by my app rather than being installed by the
installer. I could also add lines unstall registry keys and even execute
programs. This meant that I didn't have to maintain a custom unstaller in
addition to maintining the installer.

If we could do this in SB it would be wonderful.

Hi Peter,

Just use the uninstall script feature and you are done. You can use all
(except the "Install File") functions in your uninstall. You can stop
services, post to HTTP servers, remove files and folders, remove trees,
check if applications are active, and so on and so on and so on...

Thanks Friedrich,

In SB, almost everything is easier to do than I anticipated.
