Uninstall problem

[NewsArchive]

Friedrich,
I seem to have a small issue with my uninstall. I hard code part of my
INSTALLDIR, just mentioning this because I think it may be the problem :).
Everything goes where it is supposed to but if I go to the Add/Remove
programs and click on uninstall it gets an error that it cannot find it
(Don't have the exact wording at the moment). If I go directly to the
folder and run the uninstall it works OK.

I am assuming I am doing something wrong but do not know what.

I am attaching a copy of the install script. I would be happy to send you
the install exe if that will help (about 835KB).

Thank you

Michael,

I have compiled your project with SetupBuilder 6.7 (I commented-out the
"Exit Installation" function in line 39) and tested the installation on
Windows 2000, Windows XP SP2, Windows 2003 Server, Windows Vista 32-bit and
64-bit and Windows Server 2008. The uninstall worked without any problem.

Friedrich,
I think I am being bit by the Vista UAC thing. The uninstall works OK
on XP. Attached is the actual error message I get when I try to uninstall
in Vista.

I am not currently signing the install as I do not have a certificate. I
did not think UAC was the issue as I can manually run the uninstall with no
issues in Vista, I just cannot run it from the Control Panel/Uninstall
window.

I will continue my testing.

Thank you,
m2

Michael,

I think it could be caused by your [INSTALLDIR] setting (in General
Information):

%PROGRAMFILESDIR%\LMHS\VPN Client\

Remove the last \ and you are done. Works fine here on Vista and Server
2008.

Michael,

Noticed you have your problem solved, but if Vista is part of your target
OSs, you would do well to get minimally, at least a one year certificate.

Product Description - Comodo Code Signing Certificate, MFG - Comodo

Besides presenting a more Professional credibility, your install AND
program EXEs become MUCH more Vista compatible with it.

JAT,

David
